9YO: dad, what animal would you say you most look like?
ME: i dunno, a turtle maybe

9: i don’t look like an animal
Accidentally ruined my 9yo’s entire life because I said “toilet” too loud in a public place.

Nobody is more drunk with power than a 6-year-old telling Alexa to do anything.

MY KID: can you do a cartwheel?
ME: not if i want to live
ME: *exists*

Nothing quite as humiliating as somebody slow-rolling past your garage sale and not stopping, like “I’m not above buying another person’s junk but just not yours.”

My 5yo got a watch for Christmas and now she’s announcing the time every single minute. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time.
The best thing about being 5 is using your age an an excuse to do things and also get out of doing things. It’s either, “I can do it, I’m 5 now” or “I can’t do it, I’m only 5.”
Happy Thanksgiving and remember, unless your turkey is applying for a passport, you don’t need to take a photo of it.
