It’s Sweeping the Nation
July 20, 2009 | Jojo
We don’t know where Jojo picked up this slam, but we’re thinking one of the boys at preschool. Every day, at some point, he gets annoyed with me and tells me to “bang yourself off the shelf.”
Oh yes. He did.
He can’t tell us what exactly that means, but he knows it’s a slam and gets this naughty smile that we know we should discourage, but it’s too damn cute.
Sometimes it comes in the form of a story: “once upon a time, a boy climbed up on a shelf. Then his mom came in and she said ‘YOU SHOULD NOT BE ON THE SHELF’ and the boy jumps down onto the bed and he says ‘you go bang yourself off the shelf.’”
In all of his stories, the mommy is yelling. Honestly, I don’t yell THAT much.
If you think I do, well, you can go bang yourself off the shelf.

Wow! I thought “you’re not my friend” was the ugliest I could expect! Kids are CRAZY.

To funny to say anything that makes sense. I’m laughing too hard.

I think this should be your new tagline. Or you could embroider it on a tee-shirt. It will sweep the nation, just you wait and see. And if you don’t think so, well….

Oh, my gosh, I can’t believe I missed an opportunity to say this:
Your mom bangs herself off the shelf!
(God, that felt good.)
