On the way to pre-k, daughter explains that she’s nicer at school, but only because she likes her teacher a little better than she likes me, and that’s only because her teacher is prettier than me. BUT! She emphasizes she still LOVES me more.

10yo: who’s your lawyer?

Me: ?

It’s true I often make my 4yo a snack plate while he watches a show, but I hadn’t realized it was becoming a predicable thing.

My kids are playing sandwich shop and my 5yo is going on and on about his kids and how they love spicy sandwiches. You think you know someone and all of a sudden you realize you’ve never met their kids.
