My 4 year old had a meltdown this morning because she wants to move to California.
— Emily ™ (@emily_tweets) October 21, 2021
We live in California.
My 5yo asked if she could have a brownie and I started to say no cause it was too close to dinner and she said, “please your highness”. So I asked her where that came from and she said matter of factly, “cause you’re my Queen.” So anyway, she’s now having brownies for dinner.

5 year old: Ok...is that a roach by your foot?
Me: *jumps on her shoulders* OMGWTFHSLAIEUDSOISONGOUS WHERE?!
Coaching smart 9 y/o girls is cool. You can tell them to “hold your bat like a sword” or “don’t have spaghetti arms” and you know they’re listening because they ask you, “Why are you using so many metaphors?”

Just when I thought my 4 year old saying “cockcock” instead of chocolate was bad enough, he’s now started saying “cocklick” instead
