When you reach for you favorite coffee mug in the morning and discover that said 87¢ plastic dinosaur is head-first inside it. You ask your person, “What’s up with dino?” He replies, “It needed a drink.” You shrug and use dino to stir your coffee, give him a quick rinse and toss him back in the toy bin.

But has he started putting fake bugs, lizards or snakes as a creepy little surprise on your pillow? My son thinks that’s sooo funny.
Dino coffee – that’s funny!
Ha! So cute and so true…With my granddaughter I have found bits of playdough… They add a bit of color and saltiness…. ‘o’
My fav is gummy worms in my hot choco because they wanted to go for a swim. LOL, boys especially know how to be creative with their toys and treats. Love being a Mom though.
LOL, Jules. Soooo true. And so typical. You also know you’re a mom when you find yourself taking your kid’s plate to the dishwasher and you pop a half chewed, been dunked in ranch dressing, chicken strip into your mouth without even thinking about it. Sigh.
You are hilarious. Checking out other funny moms-found you from Fidledeedee. Come visit if you get a chance…oh and there is a fake plastic bug sitting next to this desk. My 4 year old said it needs to stay there; “Him be happy der mama.”
This is so funny, yet so, so true. My former very organized and clean home is not even a shadow of its former glorious self now that I have kids. The transformation to living in chaos doesn’t happen all at once. It is rather a slow change, so that when it is finally finished, when you no longer question a dinosaur floating in your morning coffee.
Some might call it evolution, but I’m not sure that it is.

Hey, a dinosaur beats a lot of other things that *could* have ended up in your coffee cup!!!
You know you’re a mom when you buy those Girl Scout cookies with every intent of hiding them so that you know that you get some.
I know; it’s not quite the same thing, but it’s still true.
