## _Adults can be silly too when it comes to keeping promises to ourselves about things we’d never do before having kids!_

Kids may say the darndest things but adults say some pretty dumb stuff about how
they plan on parenting before they have kids.

I love listening to my non-parent friends tell me how they are going to do things
when they have their own kids and then waiting for shit to hit the fan several months
later!

> How many of these sentences have you muttered pre-kids? And how many have you 
> thrown out the window now?

## **_I swear I will never… _**

## 1. Post a picture of my uterus to Facebook
