Lol, you should teach DC that sugar makes you weak.

Love it! At least someone has the right frame of mind.

I love the idea of dinosaur newscasters!

She also calls her bathing suit a “busy soup” and I die every time.

Awww...mine called it a "baby soup".

Mine is 5 and calls her suitcase her soup case. I do not correct her.

Omg, my kids too. My HS child will tell me to take the class if I’m interested - it’s not for them. But these are classes that contribute to modern career skills not a filler class. Ugh.

My sensitive 3-year-old overheard me getting frustrated at my mom (who lives with us) for something. 5 min later, she says “mommy....little feet won’t last forever.”
Um what? Not even sure you meant to convict me not to get upset about trivial things bc I should be focused on my beautiful children in front of me, but thanks for making me feel bad!!

These are great. My 3 year old is convinced that one day, mommy and daddy will be little and she'll be big. So she says, "When I'm big and you're little, I'll feed you and put you in a car seat and give you a bath."

I mean, she's not wrong that people often get shorter, but she literally thinks we'll be like her.

My six year old asked me if dad married me because I am “so good at math.” Glad he values that in a partner! 😆

My kids call is hanatizer!

Yesterday, my two year old went to the bookshelf and started pulling off the books to look through them. Every time he saw a picture of a character frowning, he pointed at it a yelled "MAD!" Every time he found one crying, he held a hand to his eye to wipe away an imaginary tear and yelled "SAD!"

Also yesterday, my five year old went on a twenty minute uninterrupted monologue about how he had a competition going on in his brain about his favorite color, including pairwise matches between them that allowed them to move up and down the overall rankings. It was impressive.

After I found my 3 yo climbing the shelves:

3 year old. We explained that mommy and daddy are married, the rings, the vows, etc. Then told him about other people who are married, like grandma/grandpa, aunt/uncle, our best friend couple. Some grownups are married, but not all. Kids are not married, it happens after you grow up, etc. It all seemed to be news to him.

He said, "When I grow up, I want to marry you mommy. And then I will blow up balloons for you!" (He can't blow up a balloon now, and understands he will be able when he is big.) Hahaha.

Weird, sad, funny all at once...

My 5 year old asked to go to the splash pad. I said we couldn’t because of the virus and said “I’m sorry.” He said: It’s ok, mommy. Don’t be sorry. It’s better to be healthy than have fun.

My 3 year old girl calls it a babing suit too!

We have a quite a few invitations to smell her toots left unaccepted.
