It’s not so much that my child asked “how do people become green beans” as it is that she asked it WHILE eating green beans

As far as I can tell, parenthood is about desperately wanting my newborn to fall asleep so I can look at the 500 adorable photos I took of her that day.

I asked the kids if there was anything they wanted from the grocery store and the first thing my daughter asked was, “how is our cheese situation”

My son's favorite new outrage is, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!?" You're 5, bro. Sorry we didn't consult you while shopping for this credenza.

This past weekend I moved to another country, and people are like “omg! So jealous! You live in paradise, now you can relax!” And it’s like I’m sorry there seems to have been some miscommunication I still brought my kids with me so no.

The baby has started randomly smiling and they say it’s probably gas but I’d like to think she’s remembering episodes of Frasier she watched with God.

Based on how much effort my kids put into finding anything before declaring it lost, a nursing home may be the safest place for me in my old age.

I was once introduced to a couple at a party. We chatted for a while then their kids came over. I looked at the kids, then looked at the couple and said “omg how did you two have such beautiful children” and that’s why I shouldn’t be allowed to talk to people

ME AS AN ADULT: i wish i was a kid so i could do whatever i want
I think it's important to start traditions with your kids when they are young. For example, we do this thing on the weekends where my wife & I cook dinner, then our kids criticize it.

I wish I loved anything as much as my kids love leaving their Band-Aids in the shower.

My 10yo refers to Facebook as “Nosebook” because my “nose is always in it,” and I think this is what “getting owned by your kid” feels like

Somewhere out there, there is a parent who has only had to say something once
