As a father of little girls, I am second only to Kesha for the amount of glitter in my hair at any given time.

My 3yo banged on the bathroom door and demanded I let him in just so he could serve me some imaginary tea. I’m both impressed with and disturbed by his commitment.

I'd like to thank Common Core Math for making me, a college graduate with a degree in Architectural Engineering, feel like the banjo kid from "Deliverance."

6-year-old: *Vulcan fingers* Live long and prosper.
My kids have been in bed for 30 minutes, and I have been scrolling social media and half-assedly watching Peppa Pig for 30 minutes without noticing. In case you were wondering what Mom Brain really does to you.

Kiddo: A rit. *holds up a single Ritz cracker*

Please invent socially acceptable yoga pants for dads. They look so comfy, and I am so tired.
