From the mouths of parents
As soon as I finished goo-goo-gaa-ing at my babes, I found myself transitioning into the "Things I Can't Believe I'm Saying" phase, like Don't color the cat! and Peas stay out of the nose! Which is one reason I love these art posters that one dad has created, to help remember some of the more absurd things that have come out of his mouth in the name of parenting.
I think you'll be able to relate.

Video Producer Nathan Ripperger series of art prints known aptly as Things I've Said to My Children pairs his parental commands with some seriously cool artwork that would make the absurd look pretty cool in a child's bedroom or playroom. Though Get That Toilet Seat Off Your Head. . .Now deserves a special place near the potty chair.
Nathan Ripperger's Things I've Said to My Children prints are sold unframed in two sizes from his Etsy store.

Haha! I've totally had to say "don't lick my arm"! Glad I'm not alone.:)

I actually started a twitter feed to keep track of some of the gems that come out of my mouth at isaytomykids (https://twitter.com/#!/isaytomykids)
My favourite so far is "We do not waste bacon in this house!"
We have a 'Surprising Sentence' section on the blog, based on this very subject, would be awesome for fellow parentals to share...

I recently said "Please don't make your potato dance" multiple times. I say some truly absurd things now. We always record the cute/crazy things kids say and I love that what parents say is also being captured.
