My kids were helping me clean & then they asked what their reward would be.
Um how about you continue to live here?
We’re starting this social distancing thing as a family of six but given how everyone is getting along on day one, we might end up a family of four.
New Mom: I bought my kids’ Halloween costumes back in August!
Me: That’s cool. I take my kids shopping on October 31st so they can’t change their minds 800 times.

Me: SHHHH! The windows are open & the neighbors are outside!
Son: Well, I’m a little offended they haven’t laughed yet.
Not to brag but I can make my son angry just by asking, “how was your day?”
What I said: GO TO BED!
What my kids heard: Start looking for a toy that was lost 5 years ago.
Parenting through the years:
1st kid: Organic food only
2nd kid: “McDonald’s once in a while isn’t so bad.”
3rd kid: “Did he just eat dog food? I’m sure he’s fine.”
