Let's keep it all the way real — parenting can be hilarious as hell.
So, it's a good thing we have the good folks on Twitter to sum it all up for us in the most hysterical way possible:
1.
Parenthood kinda feels like you got hit by a car and as you struggle to get up someone asks you for a snack

My daughter insisted her new preschool teacher’s name was Mr. Penis. We argued over it until one day we finally saw it in writing. Ms. Derpanis. Her name was Ms. Derpanis.

Thrilled to announce that instead of saying “What are you doing?” my 2-year-old child goes around asking, in a tiny haunting voice, “What have you done?”

School emails be like: Welcome to X Elementary! Your supply lists include everything you've already bought but in a different color. Our drop-off time is 8:24. Students arriving at 8:26 will be late. The PTA will need a donation equal to your mortgage. Welcome back!

Working from home while your kids are home is like trying to read a book at a Metallica concert.
