My kids are the reason I breathe; they’re also the reason I swear, cry, yell, and eat waaay more carbs than I probably should.

4yo with a toy: "This toy is old so it's broken. We need to throw it out."
— 🎄 Stay at Homies 🎄 (@stayathomies) December 16, 2019
Me: "It's not broken."
4yo: "But it's old. When things get old you have to throw them out."
Me: "You told me the other day I was old."
4yo: *looks me up and down* "Mmm hmm..."

Me: Why not?
8: What if my brother falls through & crushes me while I’m sleeping?
Me: That won’t happen.
8: Are you sure? He’s one real heavy son of a bleep!
Christmas prep is like college finals week: late nights, massive carb consumption, & the panic of knowing I should have started much sooner.
