Seems like school "tag lines" haven't changed since I was there 25 years ago. Who keeps these phrases going, seriously? Is it a part of some secret curriculum I was not informed about??
Other things we've been exposed to since school started:
Lice
Ringworm
Meningitis
And the list keeps growing...

gross, gross, gross! although I do like the line about get what you get, don't throw a fit- may have to incorporate that one around here..
Should I be worried that your kids just spent the whole day at my house after being exposed to all those fun and great things?
It's been months. Everyone is fine!
I think you have posed a question of the year. Who perpetuates those sayings? Children must hear adults say them. Or is it just TV?
We hear it all day too. The joys of school-age kids, gotta love it. Luckily we haven't been bitten by the lice, meningitis or ring worm "bugs" yet....knock on wood. Oh your kids are so adorable, btw. I miss them! Miss you all.
