My 6 year old just got back from visiting our elderly neighbor and said, “I told her we’d bring her some fresh baked cookies when they’re ready.” I informed her that we weren’t baking any cookies today and she said, “Oh, I guess we kinda have to now, don’t we?” Diabolical.

When your 8 year old gets in trouble at school for spelling curse words with scrabble tiles in school, it’s not appropriate to say “well, that’s fucking hilarious.” I know this now.

Lately, my 6yo has been putting on a movie, laying down on the couch, and falling asleep a few minutes into the movie.

My kid said she can’t wait till she’s an adult and can eat chips for dinner, and I’m just happy she has some goals.

Being a mom is humbling bc you get to see all the dopey mannerisms you didn’t know you had copied by someone who’s like 2.5 feet tall

My baby in the high chair: Get thee hence, mother. This bottle of filtered water from the ewer of Brita displeaseth me. Take it from my presence!

My baby in the bathtub: Ah, sweet nectar of the gods, tap water steeped in soapy buttock, cupped in a broken plastic Easter egg! 😚🤌

Very obsessed with how my 1.5 year old babbles nonsense while turning the pages of her board books, but when she comes to the last page and closes the book she states a very decisive AMEN

Nothing says due diligence like checking your kid for a fever with all 26 thermometers you own.

My 5yo was bragging to his brother about how he does the highest flips on the trampoline. I’m not sure where he gets his need to be better than other people, but he’s mistaken because I’m the highest flipper.

Son: No.
Me: *hasn’t looked up from Twitter feed in 12 years* that’s so weird.

My 7yo kept asking me to join her server in Roblox. When I finally did, she told me she was going to set me up in a house across town from hers and that we wouldn’t be visiting each other much. When I asked her why, she said “I just want to do my own thing.”

Me: Do you mean a corn dog?
6: Yes.
My son has a hard time waking up in the morning so he downloaded an obnoxious sounding alarm on his phone to ensure he wouldn’t oversleep.
