😳 - just had modern day event similar to when my toddler sister worked VCR better than my parents….
5yo (who can’t read yet) just switched tv to the Apple TV input & mirrored her phone so she could listen to her music…in less than 30 seconds without any instructions/help

Following an unexpected afternoon rest :
5yo - Much better; my head isn’t rattling anymore
Me - what do you mean by rattling?
5yo - too many words running around my head
Guess virtual TK was intense today 😂
I left my shoes outside my 9yo bedroom on my way to put him to bed the other night and forgot about them. I apologized the next day and he says, “I’ll just sell them if it comes to that”.
Wait - What in the world could lead to you needing to sell my shoes ?!?! 😳
5yo: I can keep a secret
Mom: Tell me one secret you’ve kept
5yo: Well for a long time...all of my powers
🤔...🦸♀️🦹♀️...🤫
During an impromptu and informal game of Pictionary with the family, our 5 year old chose her own word... she drew many things including people, the earth, and stars...she became humorously exasperated that no one got it...the story of “creation” from the book of Genesis😲🤯
12yo from other room - Dad can you come help me cut something for this project?
Mom to Dad quietly - love that she calls you not me
Dad to 12yo - Yeah you know Mom can’t use scissors
12yo - I called Dad not Mom
Parents laugh hysterically
12yo - why are you laughing?
I was lamenting to my husband that I feel like I’ve lost my fun. So asked my 4yo daughter if I’m fun. She responds with hysterical laughter. I ask her if it’s because she thinks I’m fun or because she’s like no way. She continues laughing and says “no way”. Soul crushing 🥺
Normalization is so helpful! I wish official channels would give both the actual counts and counts normalized for population.
Amidst 4yr old assigning imaginary superpowers, she replaced my rainbow making powers with shooting poison against bad guys - I protested - exasperated she said “Fine. You can have rainbows - but they kill people”
11yr old playing superfight : “Well I don’t know about that we watched Mister Rogers once and it was about a dead fish”
When my 4yp walked into @costco today she said excitedly, “This is the place where you get to try new things!”
This might be my favorite news photo ever
