12 Things I Never Did Before I Was a Mom
By - Posted on May 5, 2012
1. Pick someone else’s nose.
2. Carry Matchbox cars in my purse.
3. Take a rectal temperature.
4. Buy chicken shaped like dinosaurs.
5. Pretend to be a car.
6. Say things like “There are starving children in the world who would love that piece of bread.”
7. Leave the house with formula/milk splatters on my shoes
8. Notice the formula/milk splatters and leave them there, because it’s just too darn much effort to wipe them off.
9. Say “Lord, have mercy” outside of the context of the Mass (prompted by a violent stomach flu wreaking havoc on the Moyer family).
10. Hear a small boy say, “Mommy, I love you.”
11. Melt inside at “Mommy, I love you.”
12. Realize that parenting is totally, completely worth it.

Where do you get dinosaur-shaped chicken!? I’m sure my kids would love that.
Purdue makes nuggets shaped like dinosaurs.
Foster Farms makes chicken dinosaur nuggets (though I’m in CA; that may be a regional brand?). Check your freezer section — I bet you’ll find some there. Happy munching!
Thanks Great and Ginny! I’ll look for those next time I’m at the store.
Inspiring… If only same for the guys!
