Morning Gorgeous people! It’s Monday, lets make it happen! — ChicMom (@ChicMom) February 27, 2012
Let us borrow a phrase from a mom who always knows when we need a confidence boost: morning, gorgeous people! Every Monday from now on we’ll be gathering a round-up of the best tweets from the week before. We’ll include tweets that made us laugh, tweets that made us think, and tweets that made us realize you really never know what’s going to come out of a five year old’s mouth next. Let’s make it happen.
THE ACADEMY AWARDS : An annual reminder of how much free time I used to have before having a kid. — Ilana Wiles (@mommyshorts) February 27, 2012
As usual, Ilana has no interest in sugarcoating motherhood. We respect that in a mom.
Reminder, folks. The multi-Oscar-winning HUGO is based on Brian Selznick’s award-winning book, THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET. Yay books!! — Scholastic (@Scholastic) February 27, 2012
Books! They exist!
I just ordered Spinach Artichoke Dip, Spinach Garlic Pizza, & Peanut Butter Pie. Because spinach, artichokes, garlic, & peanuts are healthy. — SelfishMom (@SelfishMom) February 27, 2012
Health is important. Peanut Butter Pie may be even more important.
I’m going to be rich & famous. Not for the money or recognition, but so that I can be invited to dance on Yo! Gabba Gabba. — Issa Mas (@IssaMas) February 26, 2012
Completely reasonable aspirations. We approve.
@vanessapamela hahahahahahah, thanks for making me laugh on this particular day! Welcome, officially, @_dougcampbell, to our world! — Dawn Roode (@DawnRoode) February 23, 2012
Did we mention working here is really, really fun(ny)?
Sabrina: “Mommy, how do you spell TV? HA HA HA HA HA!” 7-year-old humor! — Ellen Seidman (@LoveThatMax) February 22, 2012
7-year-old self-confidence is something we sorely miss.
Natalie just said: I just saw the place where people lose their souls. (she means cemeteries) interesting way to put it. — Vera Sweeney (@VeraSweeney) February 22, 2012
Sometimes kids say hilarious things; sometimes kids say deeply profound things that encourage us to view the world in a way the adult mind would never frame it. (PS, this tweet falls under the latter category.)
Lying in bed, watching #rhoc and drinking a white Russian. This must be what old age feels like. — Lady O’Grady (@westchesterlife) February 22, 2012
IOHO, if that’s old age, why would anyone ever choose to be young?
There are only 940 Saturdays bt child’s birth & college…if your kid is 5 that means 260 gone already! Do something SPECIAL this weekend!! — Dawn Roode (@DawnRoode) February 17, 2012
And finally, in case you were trying that whole “relaxed” parenting approach, wherein you don’t stress yourself out on an hourly basis…allow our editorial director to give you a panic attack because time is always slipping away and basically your child is a grown up who has left home already! Join us on Mondays for more Top Tweets. In the meantime, follow us @NYMetroParents for practical parenting advice, local events in the NY Metro area, exclusive deals and discounts, and occasionally hilarious staff banter. If you want us to consider your tweet for next week, tag it #nymptt; if you see a tweet that deserves a mention let us know.
