    Obsessed with this game my 3yo and 7yo are playing called “Wake Up The Grandpa” in which one of them pretends to sleep and the other one over and over again kicks/punches/body slams them and says “Does that wake up the grandpa?”

    My 3yo: That vehicle has a crabber on the front.

    Me: What?

    3yo: For crabbing stuff.

    Me: oh you mean a grabber for grabbing stuff?

    3yo (making claws with his hands): no, its called a crabber. Like the creature that lives in the sea. A crabber. It crabs things.

    My daughter is protesting the next stage of life after going through “the talk” at school, “Puberty is unfair. Boys get stronger, we just get to have babies.” The line for the 6th Grade revolution forms on the right.

    -My wife and I hugged in the kitchen

    I was annoyed because I know I told my husband something that he swears I never said, and then my son jumped in and said, "Yeah, Daddy, Mommy did say that." And just like that, I now have a favorite child.
