Not a cryable offense
This is my new favorite thing to say to the kids. When I hear whining or crying, I assess the situation and if it is over something like a piece of rice stuck to a hand I will just tell them it is not a cryable offense and to stop crying. Mean mommy? Maybe. But these kids whine over EVERYTHING. That rice example is real. Happened to Dylan tonight. I did cut him some slack tonight, though. He has been running a pretty high fever all afternoon and he has spent 90% of his waking hours in my arms today. FYI, it IS possible to skewer kabobs with one hand and hold a sick little baby in the other.

When they're a little older you can have two responses ready:
Should I call 911?
and
Would you like some cheese with that w(h)ine?
