My wife was trying to tell me a quick story and after the umpteenth time our kids interrupted her she said, “Nevermind, maybe we can talk again when they’re grown up,” and that about sums up being married with kids.

This morning my 3yo was mad and told me he wanted a different mama and I said “what kind of mama do you want?” And he said “one who wears a black suit”. I think about the ways I’m failing as a parent a lot but I hadn’t even considered that it’s bc I don’t have a black suit.

Showed my 7 year-old an Etch-a-sketch and said this is what Daddy played with growing up and this little angel asked me if it was a ‘caveman iPad’ and I am still in shambles

When my parents and my kids FaceTime, my kids won’t answer my parents’ questions so I repeat their questions to my kids. Then my parents can’t understand what my kids say so I repeat their answers to my parents. A great time is had by all.

My friend and I discussing what seafood we like:
Me: I don’t like lobster or crab
My 3yo, trying to be part of the conversation but has never had shellfish in his life: I don’t like…starfish.

On the ride home from school my 6 year old and I were chatting about his day when he said, “well if you don’t mind I’m going to make a really cool paper airplane right now so if you could not talk that would be nice.” Which is my new favorite way to end conversations.

Saw an Amazon truck drop a kid off at school this morning. Didn’t know that was an option.

3yo: Why do we have a room just for the toilet and the bath?
Me: So people can have privacy when they’re going to the bathroom or taking a shower.
3yo: Why would someone want that?
I think I’m beginning to understand the root of much of our disconnect.

All dads: let’s buy these $5 pumpkins at Walmart and save money and everyone’s happy.
All wives: no I’d rather buy 2 pumpkins for $376 at the pumpkin patch and yell at the kids for 2 hours trying to take cute pictures and then everyone goes home mad and crying.
