My tween and her erratic behavior and frequent moods swings remind me of someone...
— It'sReally10Months (@really10months) November 18, 2014
Oh right. Her as a toddler.
My 7yo cleaned her room before school. Is this because:
— Kim Bongiorno (@LetMeStart) November 18, 2014
A) My lectures finally sunk in
B) She loves to see me smile
C) She wants something
"Again, Daddy" to a toddler means, "For my amusement, keep doing this until you pass out, puke, or crumble into a pile of dust."

Kids are like that big mirror in the hotel bathroom pointing out the zits you were hoping no one would notice.

Organization is a fancy term used by people that don't currently have kids living under their roof.

If a mom buys one giant Costco bag of Stacy’s chips, how many bags does she have by the time she gets home?
— Baby Sideburns (@BabySideburns) November 20, 2014
One. It’s just empty.

4-year-old: I want cookies.
Me: We’re not buying any.

Well played.
If I find one more mother fucking Capri Sun straw wrapper on the floor I'm going to pick it up & throw it away like the other 739 I found.

Feeding my kids cold pizza because some day they will go to college and preparation is the key to success.

I have mixed feelings, but I mostly admire the 2yo's ability to show up completely naked to dinner and still demand hot Spaghettios.

Ok, finally got the toddler to bed, let's get this weekend started.
