13yo apparently plays Wordle, Connections, and Tiles every day on his laptop. How? Does he subscribe to the Times? He leads a whole secret old man life that I don’t know about

Do you think bread crusts are sad that kids hate them?

Overheard my 12yo warn his friend that I’m embarrassing so I told her he kept saying how excited he was for their play date.

The battle I didn’t pick today: letting my toddler eat his lasagna with a straw

3-year-old is screaming “HELP” at the top of his lungs because I won’t let him go outside, in a blizzard, wearing just his unicorn pajamas. When I told him that might scare our neighbors, bc they’ll think something is really wrong, he started screaming “SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG”

I have eaten all the candy, so my kids will open their Easter eggs to find Heinz ketchup packets

4-year-old appeared while I was washing the dishes and politely asked “Mama, would you like to sit down in a chair?” and I’ve been doing this for long enough to know that doesn’t mean she thinks I deserve a break, it means she has gotten her hands on a whoopee cushion.

My 6yo announced loudly in the store, OH NO CHEESE, MY ONLY ENEMY, so I had to pretend not to know him

We're walking to the cemetery because my 9yo wants to "write down all the names of the dead people." What?!
— Lil Bit 🌈 (@LizerReal) March 24, 2024
She's brought a pen and paper.
No clue where this is going, but I'm gonna post updates.
My family needs a movie where they just introduce every character and then give us 10 minutes so we can look up where we know the actors from.

6yo: Daddy, houses cost a lot of money. Can I just take your house when I grow up?
— My Life As Dad (@milifeasdad) March 25, 2024
Me: Where would mommy and I live?
6yo: Basement.
My 3yo doesn’t understand “behave” is one word. “I be have. My sister be not have.”

5yo: JESUS HAD A PURPLE CROSS
— Courtney Ellis 🎈 (@courtneyellis) March 28, 2024
Me: Um... pretty sure it was wooden.
5yo: IT WAS PURPLE. THAT IS WHAT MY TEACHER SAID
Me: Are you sure you... (remembers to pick my battles) Cool.

I would fight a tiger to protect my kids but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna fold their socks. That’s motherhood.

I love my 3yo with all my soul. I wouldn't change a single thing about him. Well, okay, if we could wake up tomorrow morning & be done with scream-correcting my pronunciation of random words even when I DEFINITELY WASN'T SAYING CHALKY INSTEAD OF CHARLIE that would be cool I guess
— Amy Colleen (@sewistwrites) March 26, 2024
My 6-year-old woke up lamenting that he didn’t have a “vegetable tale.”
— Kiss my Fat Ash🍑 (@Tobi_Is_Fab) March 28, 2024
I didn’t know what he was talking about until I remembered him asking about the tails we have in utero & how I told him some babies are born with vestigial tails. Oops.
Told my kid it was time for a screen break and you’d think I asked for both of his kidneys

Pretty sure Rome was built faster than my kid can tie her shoelaces.
