10 Surprising Statements I Never Expected to Make as a Mother of Boys

As a mother of three boys, I often find myself in situations I never anticipated. Despite their generally calm demeanor and good behavior, their creativity often leads to some unexpected—and sometimes bewildering—conversations. When I envisioned parenthood, I didn’t foresee the peculiar phrases that would become part of my daily lexicon. Below is a compilation of some of the most memorable statements I’ve uttered, each leaving me to ponder, “Did I really just say that?”

1. It is NEVER acceptable to urinate into your toy truck. This lesson became necessary when my then 3-year-old thought it would be amusing to aim at the front-loader of his WOW garbage truck. Kudos for the aim, but really?
2. Remove your brother’s underwear from your head IMMEDIATELY. You would think that the idea of wearing someone else’s used undergarments would be unappealing. Clearly, my 3-year-old disagreed—goofiness prevailed over hygiene.
3. Do not place your finger near your brother’s eye. This is a simple yet crucial rule. I can’t recall which child was involved, but I suspect it was the same mischievous one.
4. Eating earwax is not advisable. This gem likely came from my other son, who seems to think that bodily exploration is acceptable. No matter how many discussions we have about hygiene, this habit persists. I suspect it’s simply out of convenience.
5. Do not throw banana peels on the ground and attempt to slip on them. This particular incident, witnessed by my partner, was an apparent attempt by my 4-year-old to recreate a scene from a show. Interestingly, thanks to similar influences, my 7-year-old now refuses to wear jeans due to a fear of spontaneous combustion.
6. Keep your toothbrush off the floor next to the toilet. The dangers of a firehose are real, and I’ve found that many of my unexpected statements revolve around this topic.
7. Do not insert boogers into your ear. Did I really have to say this? Apparently, yes.
8. A pretend helmet cannot provide real head protection. My 4-year-old’s imagination knows no bounds, and while I appreciate his creativity, it often leads to my heart racing as he dons a fireman costume on a sweltering day at the beach.
9. Avoid leaving cups of urine in the bathtub. In an attempt to conduct a “science experiment,” my boys thought it was appropriate to leave their urine-filled cups in the tub for days. This incident occurred during a particularly challenging time, so supervision was lacking. The ensuing clean-up was a lesson learned.
10. Do not stash blackberries in your pockets. My eldest son has recently discovered pockets in his non-denim pants and loves to fill them with treasures, like blackberries. On one occasion, he returned from lunch with a pocket full of cherry tomatoes and snap peas, excited to share his haul.

These amusing anecdotes highlight the unique challenges of raising boys. As my youngest grows, I can only imagine the new and creative mischief he will introduce to our household. Each of these experiences adds to the rich tapestry of motherhood.
