Been there, done that... and it's funny, 'cause you just KNOW that if it was the other way around, you'd NEVER hear the end of it...

Probably the worst for me was when my 3 year old (2 at the time) ran off and got into a hospital elevator by herself. And somehow navigated back on her own. She seemed really confused as to why everyone was freaking out so much.

Reminds me of the time when I was on a little bike tour with my Dad and lost sight of him. So I rode home and told my Mom that I was lost...

This was when I was 5 or so.

You know what I'm sick of hearing: "Where are you going? What are you doing?" These may seem like reasonable questions, but let's put them into context. I'm not grabbing my keys and heading for the door when asked these questions. Nope. Just getting off the couch and walking to the back of the house. There aren't even any exterior doors back there.

That's my daughter's line- she has to know where mom & I are at all times & says hi each & EVERY time I walk into the room.

I am NOT byotching about my children wanting to talk to me- I realize what that can cause(the eternal silent treatment of teen/pre-teen years & beyond).

See, I don't think it would bother me coming from my 3 year old (aka remorseless eating machine #1) but this is coming from my wife.

I believe that's in the vows somewhere . . . fine print and all that.

This two-line conversation is why I don't have a cell phone:

-Hello?
-Where are you?
