One of my 3 year olds just walked out to the porch where I was sitting and put 7 frozen bean burritos on my lap, patted me on the back and left, how’s your afternoon shaping up?

“Oh, that’s just a whine-scream, which means she didn’t get what she wants. Different from the ‘there’s blood scream’, which is a much higher pitch.”

I am on a bus with a hundred second-graders who are definitely all using their outside voices, how is your Wednesday going

- public parks don't randomly close
- tv's don't run out of batteries

Got any to add?

Pregnancy: So you're going to be extra tired, and it's really important you get a lot of rest.
— Some Boy's Mother (@someboysmother) May 2, 2019
Me: Got it, more sleep
Pregnancy: Ha! No.... remember those side effects we talked about? You definitely won't be able to sleep.
4yo: Mommy, what if you never had kids?
— MyMomologue (@MyMomologue) May 2, 2019
Me: Then I wouldn’t know how much I was missing. You make me better. You help me love deeper than I ever thought I could. You fill me with joy and pride. I’m thankful for you and I’m so happy you’re here!
4yo: I’m gonna toot.
I just overheard...

KIDDO: You said there would be snacks. And you know me, you don't mess with my snacks.

My birthday is December 1st.
At this rate one of us won't make it.
It doesn’t matter where you hide. Your children will hunt you down, find you, and tell you they’re thirsty.

Baby giraffes can walk right after birth.

My kids are teens and still can't pour a drink without spilling it.
