My 3 year old told the doctor that she liked eating her vegetables.

And the academy award goes to....
My toddler screamed "HELP!" at 2am like she was being attacked because her blanket was tangled, so don't talk to me about your problems.

My toddler has created "karate ballet"

and I'm scared for us all...
The 3yo insisted on helping me put all the laundry away. It's only taken us 6 hours & 10 minutes & apparently pants go in the fridge now.

You could make dinner for a toddler, or you could just cut out the middle man & throw away a plate of food and squirt ketchup on the dog.

3-year-old: *pouts*
— Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) May 2, 2016
Me: Is something wrong with your lunch?
3: It's too wet.
Me: It's soup.
No one exaggerates a situation quite like a toddler who just broke their cookie.

If only we could harness the renewable energy of toddler tantrums.

Just discovered why my dishes weren't getting clean... Caught my toddler pressing cancel mid-wash.

A toddler can do more in one unsupervised minute than most people can do all day.
