5yo: DO YOU WANT ME TO DRAW YOU A GIRL BIRD OR A BOY BIRD?
— Courtney Ellis 🎈 (@courtneyellis) March 19, 2024
Me: Um... a girl bird?
5yo: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GIRL BIRDS AND BOY BIRDS IS--
Me: Hey, babe, we're in the church office, so maybe be a little quieter about--

I posted a joke about being an overstimulated mom, and men FLOCKED to the comments to scream that moms now are just a bunch of crybabies because grandma was never overstimulated. As if grandma didn’t have cocaine in her cola, a marlboro in one hand, and a switch in the other.

6yo: “Mama, I learned something today.”
— Mediocre Mom (@MediocreMamaa) March 21, 2024
Me: “Oh yeah? What did you learn?”
6yo (ominously) “That we’re never alone.”
4yo now deploying “perhaps”, as in, “I will leave this leaf here for a creature to eat—perhaps a caterpillar”

My 3yo: Speaking of dinosaurs! What is everybody's FAVORITE dinosaur?
In the time it takes me to make a shopping list, my family has already eaten enough additional food to render my shopping list obsolete.

Chase pediatrician said “have you talked to him about stranger danger yet” so I’m like kind of? She turns & asks him “if someone comes up to you & they have candy would you go to their car?” & he’s like “yes I love candy!” 😑
