How many times have I told you??

I seem to be saying that a lot lately, so yesterday I decided to keep track of exactly how many times I did tell them different things. I didn't get nearly all of them, but it gave me some perspective. I thought you'd find it interesting.

• Good Job!: 5 times
• Nathan, no!: at least 30 times (I stopped counting at 11am--seriously!)
• You lost your stool privelages: 1 time
• Hand over the turkey: 1 time
• John, leave your sister alone: 3 times
• Sit down: 20 times
• Do you understand why you got spanked?: 1 time, fortunately!
• I love you: 11 times
• Thank you: 12 times
• some sort of phrase involving the word "privacy": 7 times
• You can do it yourself, you are a big boy/girl: 5 times
• Please go play: 5 times
• What are the rules at the library?: 5 times (We went to the library yesterday)
• Play in the basement or your room!: 5 times
