Another Gem from my book "A Survival Kit for Parents"
Spaghetti Leg: Phenomenon resulting from attempts to put boots on a child, occuring as the parent orders the child to stiffen leg and push. Though the child ordinarily may have the bone structure of a Percheron and calcium deposits enough in each joint to be worth mining, this command to stiffen the leg causes a dissolving of all bones, joints and major muscles in said leg and reduces it to a state of limpness found only in overcooked spaghetti. A mother attempting to force a leg into a boot once it has achieved this jellied state might be more gainfully employed trying to thread a needle with an oyster.

I think I may have been a victim of spaghetti legs a few times in my life (or was it you that was the REAL victim) either way, I apologize!
Thank you for visiting my blog :)
And yes, I'm familiar with the spaghetti leg syndrome...argh!
So glad you are using one of our templates! Thanks for the comments!
LOL, I can sooo relate!!
Luckily living in AZ I don't ever have to deal with putting boots on a 2 year old.
HAHAHA! This is hilarious and true!
