The thing about being a first-time parent is you suddenly realize you make the rules of the house? Your toddler will be like "lets throw a ball" and you're like "oh I don't think we are allowed to do that inside?" and they're like "we aren't?" and you're like "I should find out."

I don’t secretly steal my kids’ Halloween candy. I eat it right in front of them while maintaining eye contact. Total power move.

Just when I’ve finally gotten everything cleaned and put in the dishwasher, my kid comes marching in with her museum collection of dishes and cups
— McDad (@mcdadstuff) November 1, 2022
Reminded my daughter to bring her trick or treat bag with her. She said, "I don't need one. I'm just going to eat the candy as they hand it to me." If that's not the Halloween spirit I don't know what is.

My kid didn’t even come close to meeting her Reese’s quota, so I’m sending her back out tonight. Do better.
