My toddler’s daycare apparently uses the “clean up” song. My husband and I discovered this yesterday when we started singing it and it activated our kid like she was a sleeper agent and she immediately started putting her toys away.

My 6-year-old is sick with a cough, so I told him gargling with warm salt water can help. He looked at me & said, "I'm NOT going all the way to the ocean right now."

My daughter gave me “coupons” for my birthday with topics like, “Daddy-Daughter Lunch” and “Daddy-Daughter Ice Cream Shop.” It’s so sweet she wants to spend some time and my money with me.

My little girl is fiercely independent. She won't even hold hands on a walk because she "doesn't need help!" So when I felt her reach up and gently hold my hand as we walked into the first day of kindergarten I teared up. Then she dragged it across her slimy nose like a kleenex.

Made the mistake of mentioning a radio to my 7-year-old who had no idea what one even is. Had to explain it with terms like bluetooth speaker and streaming.

My son discovered that you can have 3 tabs of Duolingo open for 10 minutes and it will record 30 minutes on his teacher's end

My son also discovered that I don't think it's as cool as he thinks it is and now he has to sit next to me for 30 minutes a day when he does his homework

My 7yo told us she had a dream that she came downstairs late last night and saw us eating cake and omg I can’t believe that actually worked

5 told me she’d draw my portrait then asked to look at a potato so she could “get my face right” and I don’t really know where we go from here

7: Mom can I tell you the longest dream I had?

Me: Why don’t you write it down so I can absorb it? But first tell Dad.

4yo accidentally activated Siri on the Apple TV remote, and couldn’t figure out how to make it go away, so he started shouting NEVERMIND at the remote.

My husband came home to find me vacuuming dirt out of the bathtub and had the audacity to ask how the kids were today

I'm sorry I'm late, my 3yo decided his shirt was too blue.

When my sister had kids before me and she’d say they were being assholes, I’d be like Woaaa and now I’m like Ohhhh.

One minute you are young and carefree and the next minute your kids are asking for help with their history homework because you were alive in the nineteen hundreds.
