I just want the confidence of my teen who replied “Who’s this?” to a guy who texted her after ghosting her for a month.
One day my kids will move out and discover the dishes don’t clean themselves and I feel for them. I really do.

My kid, asking the important questions after I told her I’d gone to the PTA meeting this morning, “How did you wear your hair?”

Asked the worker at the liquor store to help me pick out a bottle of bubbly and she handed me a “nice” $26 bottle, but then I said it was for when my in-laws came over and she took it out of my hands and replaced it with a $12 bottle.
I can’t wait for my mom to come to my new house so she can tell me how I organized the kitchen wrong.
I love using phrases like “knowing is half the battle” so my kids think I’m wise beyond my years, because they have no idea I took it from a cartoon.
My kids are arguing over who gets to bring the garbage cans in, proving, once again, that kids will fight about anything.
