Me: *kinks neck while watching*
Is it bath night if you don’t look like you’ve wrestled a kraken?

Went for a run without reading the instructions for my new Apple Watch, and selected “25 Most Played Songs” for my music. Long story short, I ended up listening to 27 minutes straight of Sesame Street’s Greatest Hits, in case you were wondering how owned I am as a parent.

If you spent all summer thinking of fun things to do with your kids but not doing any of them only to find yourself cramming an entire season of memories into the final DAYS of break before school starts back up...

Welcome. You are my people.
If your kid starts off a question with “Do you” and you don’t interrupt with “Know the muffin man?” are you really even a parent?

My kids are mad because I took them to the beach all day and bought them ice cream, but I never let them do anything fun.

Me: Are we ready for the kids' first day of school tomorrow?

Wife: *pulls out celebratory champagne*
We're ready.
2yo: momma guess what? I got real high with daddy.
— WTFDAD (@daddydoubts) August 14, 2019
Wife: he’s talking about swings right?
Me: pft as if I’d share my good shit with him.
Turns out a bedtime story about clowns who drive ice cream trucks wasn’t such a good idea.

Today, my 3 year-old yelled at me because I forgot to close the fridge, then reminded me to turn off the kitchen light.

He just needs to fall asleep during a movie and his transformation into me would be complete.
Me: "So you want to play soccer, right?"
— Stay at Homies (@stayathomies) August 14, 2019
4yo: "No, I want to play football."
Me: "You said soccer."
4yo: "I don't want soccer. I want football."
This argument went on for awhile before I realized she was suffering from "Peppa Pig Syndrome" and meant soccer but said "football"
Me: “Did you empty the dishwasher like I told you to??”
— Stephanie Ortiz (@Six_Pack_Mom) August 14, 2019
13y.o: “Umm...”*
*continues to eat his cereal with a measuring spoon while drinking juice from a coffee mug.

First day of school & my son already brought home a picture form & now I have to decide if I want a basic package or spend $200 & get his face on a hand towel.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but your kids will be back in school soon.
