How teaching 7th grade has prepared me for raising toddlers

The last month of school I started making a list of things I said to both my little ones at home and again at school.

Don't throw that
Take that out of your mouth
Keep your hands to yourself
Sit in that chair right
Don't pull hair
Put your shirt on right
Don't hit
Keep your voices down
That is not a nice word
No pushing
Share
Play nice
Don't touch that
Don't play with scissors
Turn around and walk right
No squealing in here
No jumping, walking or standing on or over the furniture
Don't put make up on him
Ask me again and see what you get

Who knew children under the age of four and 7th graders had so many misbehaviors in common?!?
