Kidless friend: what do you do all day?

Me: where's the library book you took out this morning?

But here's a rock I found in a parking lot in Florida 2 years ago.
I'd love to see the look on my toddler's face if I just spit out the food *I* didn't like during lunch.

How to take off shoes like my 4-year-old:
— James Breakwell (@XplodingUnicorn) February 2, 2017
1) Remove shoe
2) Place it on shoe tray
3) Remove other shoe
4) Toss it into another dimension
Some lines you cross and you live with the consequences forever. Like potty-training kids, then suffering their poop schedules for eternity.

5yo: "What's a stereo?"
— Emily McCombs (@msemilymccombs) February 3, 2017
Me: "What you play music out of."
5yo. "It's called a PHONE."
Calm down, "confetti" flavor, it doesn't take that much to convince my kids to eat toaster waffles.

I love my kids but sometimes I wish the school bus would pick them up at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.

— Six Pack Mom (@Six_Pack_Mom) February 3, 2017

After practice, my son sprinkles tiny rubber pellets from the indoor turf with every step, like some sort of evil soccer fairy.
— Sara Says Stop (@PetrickSara) February 1, 2017
The best thing about my kid being 2 is that she has no idea that it's actually midafternoon when I'm telling her it's too dark to go outside
— Dragging Feeties (@DraggingFeeties) January 30, 2017
8yo goes 17 hours without coughing until I ask him if he's up for going to school today..then a symphony of Academy Award-worthy coughs.
