"Last one out is a rotten egg!"
My mom used to hollor this statement at us kids (there are 5 of us) when she wanted us to hurry. It never failed. Normally pokey children were transformed into a blur of feet. Shoving, pushing, jumping, just trying to not be the rotten egg.
She was here visiting us last week and she made that statement with a slight variation to my kids.
"Last one out is a rotten banana!"
And my kids stopped. in. their. tracks.
"I want to be the rotten banana!"
"NO! I'm gonna be the rotten banana!" said with all the drama and whine you can muster.
Yeah, didn't work so well on my kids. So, with another slight change she managed to get them to hurry.
"FIRST one out is a rotten banana!"
*whoosh*....there they blow! I just used it to get them in the tub and it's still working well!
Thanks Mom!
