Not as funny, tbh.Eye twitched. Mayflower landed in 1620. May seem immaterial, but it’s the difference between it being the year 2020, and 1800. George Washington died in the last weeks of 1799.
Please don’t question my knowledge of history when I’m trying to make fun of my kid.Eye twitched. Mayflower landed in 1620. May seem immaterial, but it’s the difference between it being the year 2020, and 1800. George Washington died in the last weeks of 1799.
He's 21 now. Time flies. Ill have to show him this.6 year old in the bathroom (early morning): DAAAAAAAD!
Me: what
him: Come here
me: Man, whyd you pee all over the floor?
him: I was sitting down going to the bathroom and "it" just popped up and was peeing everywhere! Why did it do that?
me: Ok, its normal, dont worry about it.
him: does it happen to you too
me: >laughing< yes
him: Well that sucks!
@The Gator ??Wife bought some printed photos from one of those Shutterfly websites, and some frames from a local store. Decided she wanted me to hang them on the wall in the hallway. She sat on the floor in the hall with our 5 y.o. and started taking the frames apart, removing the backs and matting or whatever, cleaning the glass and removing the stickers, loading the pictures in there, arranging them how she wanted, etc while I rummaged through the garage for picture hangers. I came back in and told her that I couldn't find any, and was running to Home Depot.
While I'm gone, our 5 y.o. goes back into the hall, takes one of the frames apart, removes the picture, loads a blank coloring book page into it, puts it back together, and turns it face down on the floor and goes back to the living room with her mom.
I came back, started putting hangers on the wall as my wife started pointing out which went where and at what height and all. Daughter hides her secret frame behind her back until I'm all done, then the wife notices and says "oops one more, hand me that one behind you". Daughter proudly holds it out and says "Daddy make sure you hang this one down low so I can get to it" as she shows it to us. She explains that this way she can change the picture every day, as she pulls a dry erase marker out of her pocket and starts coloring on the glass, then swipes it away with her hand. "See, hang it down low, and every day I can color Cinderella's clothes a different color to match whatever color I'm wearing!"
Guess who has a framed Cinderella coloring book picture hanging 3 feet off the floor in their bedroom now....
I was hoping for it to be CR7 by the end of the story
She has a fine classical education.My teen boys (#5&6, 16&13) were arguing about something, as usual. After listening to all their yammering my daughter (#7, 11yo) says “this is why Artemis swore to stay a virgin and turned her back on the company of men!”
My 10 year old daughter likes to play her playlist when we are in the car. I was grinning from ear to ear when AC/DC came on.Not neccesarily funny, but completely awesome to hear your 11 year old signing along to the great Run DMC "Its Tricky"!
I guess its made quite the comeback on IG & Tik Tok? Had no idea....
This week on Jeopardy one of the categories was Alphabet Rockers or something. The clue was "'80s rap trio: It's tricky to rock a rhyme to rock a rhyme that's right on time it's tricky... tricky tricky tricky tricky" My 12 year old perks up, "Oh that is a Tic Tok song."Not neccesarily funny, but completely awesome to hear your 11 year old signing along to the great Run DMC "Its Tricky"!

Better than my Artemis fangirl.My 10 year old daughter likes to play her playlist when we are in the car. I was grinning from ear to ear when AC/DC came on.
Raised her well...
I don't know. That's pretty awesome in its own right.Better than my Artemis fangirl.
I admit I was impressed and made her repeat it so I got it down right. But still ac/dc? That’s pretty good parenting. My youngests like to sing the “eye eye eye eye” part in the beginning of crazy train. That’s something, right?I don't know. That's pretty awesome in its own right.
That song is on her playlist too.I admit I was impressed and made her repeat it so I got it down right. But still ac/dc? That’s pretty good parenting. My youngests like to sing the “eye eye eye eye” part in the beginning of crazy train. That’s something, right?
I think my proudest musical moment was when the dj was going on about Earth Wind and Fire and my 11 yo yells "Just play Dancing in September and get on with it!"ChiefD said:My 10 year old daughter likes to play her playlist when we are in the car. I was grinning from ear to ear when AC/DC came on.

Frugal and recognized good work. Sounds like you are raising a fine young future middle manager right there.Gawain said:I have no idea why, but apparently my three year old boy thinks my wife and I are just employees. As one of us puts him to bed, he’ll state, “you were a good mommy today, here are your three coins.” Usually I get, “Mommy was better, you don’t get three coins,” and he’ll point to the three coins he found god knows where throughout the day and squirreled away.
I wish I could shake your kid's hand for that one.Episode 4 of 'The Mandalorian':
Mrs. Dinsy: I hope we find out where Baby Yoda comes from.
Dinsy Jr. (9yo): Well, when a Mommy Yoda and a Daddy Yoda love each other very much...
Yeah -- I think it's the first time either of my kids was legit LOL funny on purpose. He knew he was making a joke.I wish I could shake your kid's hand for that one.
Don't three of your kids have a birthday every month?3 of my kids had birthdays in February. They got cards with money from some family members. I had the oldest write thank you notes and the younger two were signing them. I put them in envelopes and sealed. #10 (6yo) says “wait! Shouldn’t we put money in there?”
No. 3 in February. 2 in April. 1 in March, June, July, august, September, November. Me and hubs in May, October. Jesus in December. January is our break.Don't three of your kids have a birthday every month?
What’s he doing? Maybe I could apply.My 25 year old just started a new, full time job this week. It pays $23/hr. to start, which, for a kid with little experience coming off a 10 month pandemic layoff, is a pretty good gig. He gets home from his FIRST DAY of work and proclaims "I think I'm being underpaid. I'll going to ask for a raise soon."
Explains a lot.Clown Car said:No. 3 in February. 2 in April. 1 in March, June, July, august, September, November. Me and hubs in May, October. Jesus in December. January is our break.Mrs. Rannous said:Don't three of your kids have a birthday every month?
He has a mechanical engineering degree, but is working at a civil engineering firm doing software modeling for large infrastructure projects.What’s he doing? Maybe I could apply.
Yeah. No I can’t apply.He has a mechanical engineering degree, but is working at a civil engineering firm doing software modeling for large infrastructure projects.
Turns out the gift card was actually my daughters that her friend had taken and forgot to give back. My kid had used it before so thats why there was only $6.30.Kid swindles me into taking her to Jersey Mike's for dinner yesterday. She tells me she has a gift card. Well if she's buying then I'm flying! We get there, order and go to pay and the guy behind the counter tells us there is a balance due. We are confused and he says there was $6.30 on the card. Odd amount. I look at the kid she says:
"Who gives someone a gift card for $6.30? Tomorrow (friends name) and I are going to have a conversation about this"
I thought models made more money.He has a mechanical engineering degree, but is working at a civil engineering firm doing software modeling for large infrastructure projects.
wth?Reminds me when my son was at daycare years ago.Every single day when I get home from work my daughter races to the door to greet me (savoring it as long as I can!). Before I can even get the door shut and my keys on the hook, usually both hands full of something, she blurts out whatever is the most exciting thing that's happened to her that particular day. Yesterday:
Her: "Daddy guess what! Chris (cousin) came over this afternoon to play with me and we rode bikes out front!"
Me: "That's awesome sweetie, I bet ya'll had fun!"
Her: "And Daddy, Chris said the F word!"
Me (getting slightly concerned, as he's 8 and she's 5): "Uh oh, why did he say the F word?"
Her: "I don't know but he said it to me and to mommy. I told him he should just call it a toot but he called it an F word!"
I am enjoying it, just because the heat is off me and pointing out my bald head and hairy arms every other day! Bless that kid for taking the initiative. My kids would just sit and starve instead of helping themselves to food.#10 (6yo boy) wanted some Mac and cheese. I said no and did something else. He gets out a pot, fills it with water, pours two boxes of Mac and cheese and the cheese powder, and stirs it on a stool in the pantry. He said it tasted ok but the noodles were too hard. I explained he needed to boil the noodles.
He said “well I used hot water”
My kids would have helped themselves to food, but it would have been junk food and/or dessert.Bless that kid for taking the initiative. My kids would just sit and starve instead of helping themselves to food.
This stuff has to get locked in my room.nirad3 said:My kids would have helped themselves to food, but it would have been junk food and/or dessert.
