My brain: Don't sing along. Don't sing along.
Me: *starts singing
My brain: Dammit
The downsides to my kid leaving toys everywhere are that the place is a mess & stepping on them hurts.
— Dad and Buried (@DadandBuried) June 24, 2014
The upside is feeling like Godzilla.
It's easy to judge the seriousness of an injury by my 4yo's refusal to accept a non-character-themed band aid. Verdict: Not Very Serious.

My kids are having a Who Can Make the Most Annoying Sound Contest today. I don't know who the winner will be.

Pizza is yummy
I will never stop eating
I love it so much
Dear kids,
— Stella G. Maddox (@StellaGMaddox) June 23, 2014
The 1st time was funny
The 2nd time was a recap
The 3rd was mildly agitating
...
The 493rd time is shut the hell up
My son just referred to the 1980's as "turn of the century."
— Sarah del Rio (@sarahdelri0) June 25, 2014
At this point, I'm pretty sure my 4 year old son thinks "ChaseSayYou'reSorry" is all one word.
— Kelcey Kintner (@mamabirddiaries) June 25, 2014
My 5yo just prayed to Santa to help her poop come out painlessly, and I'm wondering where else my parenting might have screwed her up.

My 10yo asked me about Oedipus.
— Kathy Cooperman (@Kathy_Cooperman) June 24, 2014
Me: "He was a good boy who loved his mother."
4: Daddy, I don't want to take a nap.
— Qwerty Jones (@QwertyJones3) June 24, 2013
Me: Trust me, one day 32 years from now, you will look back on this decision and really regret it.
3 yr old: What's procrastinate mean?
— Will Rodgers (@WilliamRodgers) June 24, 2014
Me: I'll tell you later...
During a Team Umizoomi about favorite things:
— Mike (@MikeDaddyReal) June 24, 2014
B - "My favorite thing is my penis!"
Probably not what Umizoomi had in mind... #parenting
Being home with kids all day is just the loneliest never-alone thing. Like living in a cave filled with malfunctioning Teddy Ruxpins.

M: Dog poop.
4&6: Can we have some?
