If I wanted to torture a bad guy into talking, I'd tie him up and take him on a 6 hour road trip with my two kids in the back seat.

The 80/20 Rule of Parenting: You must tell a toddler a rule 80 times for them to hear it 20 times so they finally follow it for the 1st time

#parenting (definition): spending half your life wishing for 5 minutes of peace & quiet, and when you get it, wishing it away again. Lol

My daughter just left 3/4 of her donut uneaten, and that pretty much sums up all you need to know about kids.

It's weird how, "We need to leave in 10 minutes" and "Let's build a pillow fort" are seemingly interchangeable sentences to my kids.

Was heading upstairs after my workout in the basement then heard my kids having a recorder battle up there so I guess I live down here now.

My Toddler:"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
8yo: Bye, mom!

Husband: Bye, hon!
Me: Can one of you turn the TV off before you lea---
8yo: GOTTA GO
Husband: *already starting car
Upside: 6yo says I smell like "vanilla & pineapples"
— Valerie (@ValeeGrrl) February 17, 2016
Downside: He also says I'm "nice & squishy"
My toddler locked me in the garage. As I reached through the pet door to get back in she stole chocolates. I'm not even mad. I'm impressed.

Green Eggs and Ham is my favourite Dr. Seuss book about the contents of my fridge.

My kids never finish their dinner because they're saving room for bath water.

Watching my 5yo play with @PlayDoh makes me nostalgic, but that's mostly because I still have some under my fingernails from when I was five
— Dad and Buried (@DadandBuried) February 18, 2016
My 6yo is singing Living On A Prayer in a very rock n roll way except he thinks it's prairie instead of prayer. 💯
