My 3-year-old has requested Cheerios in the mermaid bowl. We do not own a mermaid bowl, nor have we ever owned a mermaid bowl. I look forward to her reasonable response.

My kid: *does something cute*
— Annie Way (@Anniewritess) March 30, 2023
Me: That's great, sweetie, now please can you do it again in a cleaner part of the house so I can take a photo?
My 5yo was standing in front of the mirror wearing plastic heels and a purse. I told her she looked cute. She looked at me like she's better than me, "I'm rich." Okay then.

Got a call from my son’s preschool today. I had to go pick him up early because he *checks notes* gave himself a headache dancing too hard in music class.

7yo: “What's a baby shower?"
— nika (@nikalamity) March 28, 2023
Me: "It's when you shower a baby with gifts."
7: (beat) "You throw gifts at the baby?"
My 12yo pointed out that if someone at the North Pole put down a slice of bread at the same time someone at the South Pole put down a slice of bread, the Earth would be a sandwich, and I honestly don't get why our government hasn't funded a dual expedition to make this happen.

3yo: 🎵 You're my best friend. 🎵

Me: Awe. You're my best friend too.
3yo: No. I'm singing a song. Not telling you you are my best friend.
