I think I’ve said this once or twice before

Do you ever feel like your life might be simplified if you just made a recording (or wrote some signs if your kids are old enough to read) of the most common things that come out of your mouth, and you could just use that instead of repeating yourself constantly?
Some of my recordings might be:
- Stop shouting
- Stop hitting your sister
- No you can’t have a cookie/candy/chocolate right now
- Get back in bed
- PLEASE flush the toilet!
- The people downstairs would like you to stop banging your feet 24 hours a day
- NO
- YES
- Stop antagonizing each other
- Sit down while you’re eating so you don’t choke
- Please please PLEASE go to sleep
And I’m sure there are others that I’m forgetting.
What are your recordings?















1 stop fighting
2 ENOUGH!
3 I love you
4 clean your room
5 chores done?
6 bath N bed
7 wash your hands
8 No
9 Don’t touch that
10 Stop reading and GO TO BED
