Let’s get married and have kids so instead of a romantic candlelit dinner we can repeatedly tell a 6-year-old balancing on one knee to “please close your sandwich.”

This morning my 7 year old told me off for not brushing my teeth for a full 2 minutes, and, well, I had no idea sounding like a parent was so annoying

A nature hike with an 11 y/o can be a great opportunity to discuss deep questions they have about the world that you never even pondered like, “Do you think animals swear?”
