“Gimme that back!”
“Mine.”
“Don’t do that!”
“Arghh!”
Ouch. Them’s fightin’ words.
My preschooler and toddler were in a tug of war over a purple, plastic purse, when I began to ponder the evolution of “fighting words.”
Preschool
Mine.
Elementary
I had it first.
Jr High
I liked him first.
High school
I saw him first.
College
I had him first.
Post college
I left him first.
Work force
I got to the altar first.
High school reunion
I had a baby first.
Staff meeting
I had that idea first.
Mommy and Me class
My baby did that first.
Playgroup
I lost the baby weight first.
What’s next? Are we all going to be sitting in a retirement home arguing over who got there first?
Not me. I think maybe I’ll stop and re-direct my energy the next time I’m in the mood for a little fightin’ words.
Except for the second week of July. Family reunion. Snarl. Good time for fightin’ words.

Loved I had him first! :)
My college girls that work for me are so like that!!
So funny! I think I've said all those (except for I lost the baby weight) and had them said to me :)
too funny but true!
lol... Hilarious but true! Guess we all have a little bit of *fight* in us!
I love the "Mine" that children yell out. They really do not understand what is going on yet but of course they can yell it "MIne" or how about "No" to everything. I loved this post. I hope you are having a great week.
I am doing a Round Robin on Friday April 10th. If you want to come by and share. I will have a post about this later on today.
I guess that's what happens when we think the world revolves all around us....
You would all be better off when you realize it all revolves around ME! hahahahaha
oh lord...I can see it now..."I got widowed first" or "i got my rascal first"....or "your gonna die first"....
I have learned more of these type of things thru my Mother-in-Law:
I have the most grandkids.
My grandkids are the smartest.
My grandkids are the cutest.
Then when you are even older it's:
My kids visit me the most.
My great grandkids are better than yours and bring me better gifts.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Love it.
I'd like to take the fighting words out of the mommy crew too. Too many comparisons.
yikes! good luck with the family reunion!
Aren't the stages of life great? Good luck with the family reunion.
I just want you to know....I'm going to go menopausal first! neener neener
That was completely funny but true! ha!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier today!
Lol! Interesting concept! I wonder?
And shoot, if someone tried to grab my orange coach purse I'd have fighting words for them too!!!!
You crack me up! I swear my kids are constantly inventing new "fightin' words"!

So true...yet soo funny!
You're adorable!! Too funny!
Hey, that's my purple purse. :-)
At my house I hear "Hey Thats Mine" "Hey I had that First"
Usually it is the oldest one telling that to her baby sister.
Yes, so true, but still funny.
*LOL* great observations!
Cute!! I have only experienced some of those... haha. Didn't have the baby first that's for sure! Not with the friends I hand with!
