My 4yo refused to let me try a bite of his hamburger and when I asked why he looks me dead in the eyes and without a trace of irony says “coronavirus”

I've convinced my kids that they can hypnotize me to fall asleep when I'm chasing them and it's their new favorite game. I'll literally lay down for a 10-minute nap in the hallway and they won't bug me because it "breaks their spell." It's my greatest win as a parent thus far.

Little kids love pestering you incessantly for an hour straight to “look at this” only to end up showing you a Barbie doll doing a cartwheel.

As a mother my favorite pastime is having my performance critiqued by people who depend on me for their survival

My 6yo: Your doctor should never say you’re going to die. They should say you’re “a goner” or “doomed”

I hope she goes into medicine

My daughters favorite new phrase is "ok girl, I see you" and I'm just wondering how she can see all these girls, but the piles of clothes on her floor are invisible.

I know there are parents out there who are struggling right now, but don’t worry - your toddler will be able to put their stupid gloves on all by themselves one day
