An oldie but goodie:

Wifey, having trouble with her phone: "Jer, the sound isn't working..."
Ollie (4yrOld): "Check the Bluetooth."
...
Me: (-‸ლ)

My wife to our daughter, 3yrOld: That’s where I draw the line! I may have let you take your pants off at the dinner table but socks is too far.

A few observations after 8 years of :

A child:
- will always be hungry, unless there is a proper meal in front of them.
- does not care that it’s a commercial on the screen, they will watch it.
- has no qualms with asking for a snack, mid-meal.
- will need to use the toilet within 10 minutes of arriving somewhere that has none.

7.5yrOld: “That’s my main reason for not wanting to go to space… I’m worried about farting in the space suit.” 💨 😳 😷

Following the evening’s activities, back at home…
5yrOld: Where’s my beverage thingy? (beer koozy)
7yrOld: You’re not old enough to drink beverages.

Breaking news: according to my 5yrOld, it is now possible to TIE in Tic Tac Toe…

While in line @Target…
4.5yrOld: I want this microphone!!
Mommy: That’ll make a lot of noise; you may not be able to use it for long…
4.5yrOld: I REALLY want this one.
Mommy: Your brother will be annoyed.
4.5yrOld: (excited) I KNOW!!! 😳 🤨

Happened recently..

Me: You can’t have the NutriGrain bar.
4.5yrOld girl (full volume shriek): “THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!” (stomps off with the anger of 1,000 suns).

Can’t wait for puberty.

Me, avoiding awkward cat claws on my chest: “Ah! Arya, I don’t need another nipple pierced!”
7.5yrOld: “HAHAHAHA I DON’T NEED ANOTHER NIPPLE PIERCED!!”

Can’t wait for the call from school.

My 7yrOld today described something at school using air-quotes when referring to his class.
When I asked him why the air-quotes for “Mrs. X’s class”, he replied, “we had a substitute teacher.”

Favorite to needlessly make for a 5 year old knowing they’ll play with it and only eat a bite or two if you’re lucky…
Go!
