There’s a daily battle to get my kids out the door for school. They don’t want to get their shoes on. I have to convince them that the temperature is below freezing to get their jackets on. They’re suddenly possessed by the irresistible urge to dance.

I taught my kid every dance move I know and that's why he's a terrible dancer as well

My 3yo is playing restaurant with me and she’s asking me what I want to eat. She grabbed a few toys to use as food options she’d cook and here’s what’s on offer:
1. Triceratops
2. Police officer
3. Sprinkles
4. Antibiotics

My 2yo thinks not wearing shoes or socks is called “doing bear feet” because bears don’t wear shoes. DO NOT EXPLAIN TO HER SHE IS WRONG EVER.

Waiting for my kid to get ready in the morning is like watching a sloth in slow motion

Good morning my children just came to me and politely asked if it was ok if they tied a rope to a houseplant and swung it around.

“I don’t want stickers on anything” says my 3yo who puts stickers on everything

My kid finished his weekend homework on a Thursday, therefore making me look like a great parent, so I needed to tell everyone about it because I may never experience this high again.

I tried offering my 3yo some carrot slices. I even called them carrot chips to make them sound more enticing. She was not fooled by my shenanigans and will not be eating any carrots.

We went to a theme park today and walked past one of the games. My kid said “Oh, I know that game! It’s a scam!” I don’t know how he knew that, but I’m sure he was right.

I’ve reached the stage of parenting where I keep mixing up my kids’ names

If my 3yo were to stop eating blueberries, I’m not sure the blueberry industry would recover. She eats so many of them that she’s gotta be responsible for 90% of their profits.

There’s no such thing as a quick trip to the playground for a preschooler. It’s their favourite place in the world, so you’re in for the long haul.

I kind of hate playing pretend with my kids but listening to my kids play pretend without me, I could listen to them all day.

My 2yo didn’t want to get out of bed this morning so she pretended her legs wouldn’t work, and I’ve never related to anything more.

My toddler told me that I’m the boss and then we all had a good laugh because that’s so far from the truth

shoutout to the dad I passed this morning accompanying his daughter on the walk to school, carrying her hello kitty backpack and singing every word to “golden” from K-pop demon hunters

I’ve been home for 5 minutes and my 3yo is already calling me “the worst silly moose” but I promise I’m not

Kid 1 is playing pretend with a toy campfire set; he cut up a log and placed four pieces in a frame and placed the flames in the center. Kid 2 went to scout camp this summer, so I asked, “Kid 2, any tips for Kid 1 as he builds the fire?”

“Yeah,” says Kid 2, “Don’t put your hands in the fire”

My 3yo keeps asking me to take photos of her at the playground. Then she asks to see it and when I show her, she says “oOoOoOh good one daddy!”

I asked my kid what he’d like to wear for the first day of school.

“Um, I think…the picnic table shirt.”

Gingham, he chose a gingham patterned button down

My kid loves to say "hey look at this" but whatever he's trying to show me is always obscured from my view and only he can see it

My kids no longer fit in carts yet I still find myself lightly rocking mine every time I idle in the grocery store to make sure no one cries

Me: A nurse at this surgery center let me sleep for a couple extra hours after my procedure because she knew I had little kids

Receptionist: …

Me: I still have little kids

Receptionist: Wanting a nap is not a valid reason to have surgery, ma’am
