4: how come Princess Leia’s the only one wearing a bathing suit?”
Not trying to brag or anything, but I found peace without even looking that hard. It was in my kids word search, but I’m fucking counting it.

Our Costco delivery came at 8am on a Saturday, and the delivery lady said “oh! Didn’t know if you’d be awake.” Lol! That’s the joke, friends! I’ve got three kids a dog and cat, I’ve been awake since 2006.

My toddler just asked if I could make the bath "more less cold" and I can't decide what's weirder: that it made sense to her or that it made sense to me.

Me: if you wake me I’ll stab you in the eye
My kid had her checkup today and her pediatrician reassured me that her hearing is perfect. So my kid is really out here just choosing not to listen.

if my 4yo asks if something is poisonous, there's a 100% chance she has already put it in her mouth

My kid lost a tooth today, and all I’m saying is that it’s going to take a lot more than my 2020 pandemic Homer Simpson brain to remember to move the Elf on the Shelf and make Tooth Fairy magic happen all in the same night.

I have one of each. I also have a beer fridge.

My son woke me at 1 AM because “[his] throat won’t let [him] yawn” and then this morning asked me why I was still in bed “just sitting there” when he was hungry, and I’m not saying that anyone should feed their kids to rabid squirrels, I’m just saying I understand the notion

My kids are at that awkward Christmas age where they're too old for toys but too young for Beer of the Month Club.

SIL: You can call me sweetie pie!
3: I don't want to.
I got my daughter a dump truck toy today and she keeps sitting on it and pretending she’s pooping and I don’t know how I can possibly correct her when she’s technically not wrong...
