Are your little ones misbehaving this holiday season? Finding it hard to sip your wine while dodging disapproving looks from friends and family? Don’t worry! I’ve got a list of creative excuses to help explain their less-than-stellar holiday antics.
- Sorry about Max munching on your dog’s ear. He’s been experiencing a major growth spurt lately, and that’s made him quite peckish!
- I’m baffled by Lucy’s sudden urge to show her private parts to Grandma Edna. She’s just learned that girls and boys have different anatomy—perhaps it’s her way of embracing body positivity.
- I feel terrible that you saw Ethan licking each deviled egg and then placing them back on the tray. We’ve been teaching him to weigh his options before making decisions, but he seems to have taken it a bit too literally.
- My apologies for Jasmine trying to convince your son to try her boogers. We’ve been emphasizing the importance of sharing, but perhaps we need to clarify what that means!
- I can assure you that Oliver didn’t intend to urinate on the cupcakes. His dad has been helping him learn to use public restrooms, and unfortunately, cupcakes were his target practice.
- I’m not sure what possessed Mia to zoom around the house nipping at everyone’s behinds! I suspect the babysitter let her watch a bit too much Animal Planet lately. Someone’s definitely getting a talking to, am I right?!
- We have a strict no-profanity rule at home. I think Jake picked up the phrase “Where on earth did I put those darn keys?!” from some colorful kids at daycare. Kids can be wild!
- I’m equally surprised that Ava decided to use lipstick to decorate the dining room walls. Her art teacher believes she has a special talent, and I guess it’s encouraged her creative expression!
- I can’t believe that Noah wrapped a fart and gifted it to your daughter. We’ve never joked about such things at home—promise!
- I’m just as puzzled as you are about my kids behaving like a chaotic circus troupe. It must be that extra sugar my mother-in-law keeps sneaking them when I’m not looking. Definitely the sugar and the in-laws—what a combo!
