    January is somehow already over (!!!), which means we can FINALLY start 2024 in earnest. Time flies when everyone is sick.

    January feels like such a false start. Like happy new year! Back to school! JK school is closed every single day and everyone you know is sick anyway

    My 3yo, who has to have everything read aloud to him, opened a fortune cookie tonight that said, "The path to success lies in taking a bath without fussing or throwing water out of the tub and getting out nicely with no crying." what are the ODDS

    When my son was a newborn we went out to dinner and a woman stopped at our table all excited and said “I wasn’t going to have kids because I didn’t think I’d be able to go out, but you guys are out WITH your baby! So maybe I will!” and I sure hope she gave that some more thought.

    My 7yo: Mom, were you alive in the one-thousands?

    Me: What?

    7yo: The ONE-THOUSANDS

    Me: *dawning realization* Yes…..yes I was born in the one-thousands. In the 1980’s.

    7yo: WHOA 🤯

    99% of the time my Dad comes over he gives cash to my kids so now my son has associated cash with Grandpa. I didn’t realize he almost never sees me or his Dad use cash. Just now I was counting some cash @ the register & he said “that’s mine! Grandpa gave it to me!” pic.twitter.com/oVQaNpMLr5

    One of my favorite genres of internet content is parents explaining why their toddler is crying and the answer is things like "they're upset the sky is blue" or "they're mad I let them wear the clothes they asked to wear"

    Kids are beautiful, I love them

    My 4 year-old learned how to spot an EXIT sign in preschool and her teacher told her she was really good at it so now she points out EXIT signs to people everywhere we go. It’s the cutest way I’ve seen anybody tell someone it was time for them to leave.

    100% of the time I decide my kid is fine, send to childcare, we are at the pediatrician by noon. 100% of the time I keep them home they are fever free and finger painting the walls by 9am. I am just so, so bad at this. I need more time to make these calls! I need booth review!

    Child [petting the dog]: When animals die do their spirits stay with us?

    Child: So that means right now we could be surrounded by spider ghosts.

    Me: You’re getting so tall!

    Child: I don’t really like that because it means I’m getting older and when you’re older you’re closer to dying.

    Me: …Oh.

    Child: Sorry, I won’t talk about that. It might scare you.

    Me:

    Child: Because you’re already so old and close to dying.

    People often say parents only post the bad parts of parenthood online but that’s because it’s just really hard to explain why sometimes the best thing ever is getting into my bed and realizing my 3yo left his turtle stuffy tucked in there between my pillows.

    This morning I was telling my daughter about all the bands I was in when I was younger, and she was like “wait, so there were *boys* in your bands?” I was like “yep” and she goes “I don’t understand, why would you want to have a boy in a band, what would they even do”
