You know you’re old when you go to a concert and the lead singer’s banter includes, “How many babysitters were hired tonight?”

My 3-year-old called her corn dog a "hot dog sword" and now I'm never calling it anything else.

I’d pour one out for all the potty training parents, but that would just make more clean-up and that wouldn’t help anyone.

Me: Don't forget the most important part of baking cookies-

It’s the last month of school, here are 97 activities in the middle of the day parents need to attend.

Being a parent teaches you a lot about yourself. For instance, this morning my 7yo told me that I’m not as funny as I think I am.

Parenthood is like boot camp for your dignity.

Good morning. My 3 year old is throwing a tantrum because I went to the bathroom.

In my experience when one door closes it reopens and closes 13 times by a small child.

Thank goodness I got a minivan. Now there's an entire third row for extra garbage.
— Lauren Mullen (@DraggingFeeties) May 8, 2018
Son: What's for dinner?
— Dad and Buried (@DadandBuried) May 10, 2018
Me: Fish.
*He screams, starts hyperventilating, loses all control, begins to break from reality*
Son: (suddenly stops) Wait. Have I ever had fish?
My husband took 18 to a music festival and just texted me that he was “going in the mosh pit” and I didn’t have the heart to tell him I don’t think they call it that anymore and also he’s 49 and probably won’t survive that.

I wish I could turn down food as easily as my toddler does.
