Today's post is fairly simple and short and one that maybe a few of you have said. Or said something similar, nevertheless, not something I thought I would say. 

                                                          Stop Barking Like That!
 
My girls love making up games. Sometimes their imaginations surprise me. Most often they make me laugh. Playing school is a game they LOVE playing. Mostly Lucy because she gets to boss around her baby sister. 

The other game they love to play is 'puppy' or 'humane society'. One of the girls is a dog and the other goes to the humane society to adopt a dog or they already have the dog and they play 'house'. More often than not, the 'dog' barks. A lot. A. Lot. Like All. The. Time. So more often than not, I find myself saying, "Stop barking like that!"  

Anyone else think they would be saying that to their children? I think what surprises me the most is how when a phrase like this comes out of my mouth, I say it with such normality as if this is something you say everyday. Like, brush your teeth. Say excuse me. Sit like a lady. Stop barking like that. *sigh
