Kids may say the darndest things, but parents tweet about them in the funniest ways.

My animal-obsessed son has decided that he's nocturnal. He still sleeps at night but insists that he can see in the dark & won't let us turn on the lights for him. The highlight of my evening is him tripping over toys and bumping into walls while acting like he meant to do it.

13 informed 10 today that dong means penis. So now he sings "ding penis" when "ding dong" is in Christmas music. Then, he laughs like he is the funniest person in the world.

My 7yo uses an online reading app and she made her username “Poop,” so I keep getting emails with this subject line but I guess I should be glad Poop is reading. pic.twitter.com/aQ0LO2xiCW

[Overheard daughter talking to ex-husband]

“You better have those Christmas lights up this weekend, dad. Do it now while it’s still warm or you’ll never do it. “

It’s like I never moved out.

I never realized how annoying I can be, until I spent the entire day with my kid who acts exactly like me!

Stop giving new moms diaper cakes and onesies

Give those mamas what they need to survive. Extra strength painkillers, dry shampoo, borderline illegal strength coffee and ear plugs

Slap a bow on it you’re feeling fancy

Me: don’t tell mom where we hid her birthday presents.

3yo: I won’t.

Wife: hey guys.

3yo: mom your birthday presents are definitely not under my bed.

7: Mommy, if there are elves that wrap the presents, and that's their ONLY job, why aren't they better at it? Our elves are so bad at wrapping!

Me: *mumbling* Maybe they're tired from all the other bullsh-

Husband: BECAUSE THEIR HANDS ARE SO SMALL! MAKES IT HARDER!

7: Okay!
