Haha reminds me of Horrible Bosses 2. "You had a lot of bad ideas that led to good ideas and there's value in that."My oldest son, Connor, was being a terror to my wife all day while at the playground park and doing errands, basically not listening and doing whatever the heck he wants (he is 4 years old).
Wife is clearly done with him and the other kids when I get home from work (she quoted GoT saying "Her watch has ended") - I go in to talk to Connor and asked him why he wasnt being a good listener today :
ME: Connor, why werent you listening to Mom today
CONNOR: I'm sorry daddy, I thought I had some good ideas today, but they werent very good ... Ill try to come up with some better ideas tomorrow and hope they are better.
Coming from an adult I could understand this conversation in a workplace environment between a boss and his pupil but I found it really funny with his comment about having bad ideas and trying to have better ones tomorrow from a 4 year old.
5 year old asked me why I keep calling everyone "chief" while driving her to school in the morning. I've had to watch my mouth since she said "effing dog" and "effing computer" within a 3-month span about a year ago.I've really gotta watch what I say in the car at this point, every time I beep the horn my son automatically says "####### moron."
Lately he doesn't even need a beep. We were sitting at a light and it turned green, the car sat in front of us for 3 or 4 seconds before moving - "green means go moron."
Some subpar parenting on my part![]()
I told my wife we really need to curb the cursing. We're gonna be the parents that everyone points fingers at when their kid comes home dropping F Bombs. "where did you hear that from? FCJr.!"5 year old asked me why I keep calling everyone "chief" while driving her to school in the morning.

Proudest moment of my life was when my daughter said her first curse word and it was because of her mom and not me.I told my wife we really need to curb the cursing. We're gonna be the parents that everyone points fingers at when their kid comes home dropping F Bombs. "where did you hear that from? FCJr.!"
We never curse in front of our son but he learned every word in first grade.I told my wife we really need to curb the cursing. We're gonna be the parents that everyone points fingers at when their kid comes home dropping F Bombs. "where did you hear that from? FCJr.!"
I did that yesterday and I'm 42.Last night
5 year old daughter: "Daddy, I half pooped my pants."
Me: " <_< "
Lol my 7 year old son wants to bring the iPad in there with him nowI hear my daughter from the rest room say "Daddy, you busy?"
"No, why?"
"Can you get me a book?"
"Sure Why?"
"I'm going to be in here for awhile"
You can't argue with genius.Me tonight, making dinner: "who wants butter on their baked potato?"
9- year-old: "Me, butter is the food of the gods."
Had a "bring your kid to work" day last week. I work in a large office building (50 stories), so each floor's bathroom has 4 urinals and 4 stalls. I have both my kids in there, they're each at a urinal, and there's a 3rd kid in there too at one of the other urinals. Some guy in the stall rips a loud one:
Son One - "Wasn't Me"
Son Two - "Wasn't Me"
Other Kid - "Wasn't Me"
Me and the guy who ripped it just start dying....just normal conversation in a boys bathroom at school.
Wife: "Daughter (age 8), what's something you really want to do this summer?"
Daughter: "Slowly evolve into a unicorn."
For some reason, the bolded word is what kills me.
Whoa. That's deep, man.Dad, if I ate myself would I be twice as big or would I disappear?
that's some confucius #### right there.Whoa. That's deep, man.Dad, if I ate myself would I be twice as big or would I disappear?
5yo now, and a month away from kindergarten... and still.and she's still saying "whobody"... "whobody ate my cookie?!". I hope she says it forever.
How did you answer this?Dad, if I ate myself would I be twice as big or would I disappear?
I just shrugged and mumbled. I know when I'm defeated.How did you answer this?
I could seriously spend a month meditating on this and not have a definitive answer.
awesome.My 7 year old just texted me (she has an ipad she can text from) and we had the following conversation:
Her: Aooooooooooo
Me: Howl at the Moon!
Her: Talk to the hand
Her: Make some $$$$$$$$
Her: Go to Work
Me: I am!
This was my 8-yo's text to me at work last week after he discovered texting on his iPad.awesome.
my older kid (9) used to send texts to the wife from my phone, typing random letters and letting autocorrect do its thing. lol... wish I had saved some of those.
I asked my children this yesterday. They both agreed you'd disappear. However, my 6yo was sure that you'd still have a head because you can't eat your own head.Dad, if I ate myself would I be twice as big or would I disappear?
You'd die before you could disappear. So you'd get smaller.I asked my children this yesterday. They both agreed you'd disappear. However, my 6yo was sure that you'd still have a head because you can't eat your own head.
This post got me thinking. Sorry for a hijack. My age everyone had the "same" upbringing pretty much entertainment wise.5 y.o. was singing a riveting rendition of "I am the Walrus" while taking a #### last night. Netflix has a new animated series for children that is based off Beatles songs
My wife sent me a video of her outside the bathroom door with him screaming at the top of his lungs "I AM THE WALRUS!!! - COO COO CA-CHOO - I MADE A POO!"
I'd say yes and no-This post got me thinking. Sorry for a hijack. My age everyone had the "same" upbringing pretty much entertainment wise.
Cartoons/TV Shows etc. So you speak to an adult near your age and most people know of whatever thing you are talking about.
I wondering when my kid gets older if it will be the same. There are so many options and things out now that I'm thinking there may be kids that are not exposed to things.
I don't know the game, so that's probably why I don't know what "dabbed" means here. so... I don't really get this- but love that she's been hanging onto something for months just to wait to strike.Playing kings in the corner with my 8 yo daughter after dinner last night. A game or two in and after she has a good turn, but didn't go out/win, she 'dabbed' me saying your turn.
Me: "What was that?!"
She's half terrified it's a bad gesture and half proud of doing something cool at this point and does it again.
Me: "You just dabbed me, do you know what that is?"
Her: " No I just saw some 3rd graders doing it and thought it was cool" (mind you she hasn't gone back to school yet so this has been festering for months).
One of those had to be there moments I'm guessing but pretty damn funny at the time.

got it- thanks for explaining.Game is irrelevant, and the dabbing is the Cam Newton "dab" Cam's Dab
It's the context in which she chose to use it, the fact she had no idea what it was, and the fact she'd been sitting on it for months that I found funny.
Not so funny when she did it after every turn for the next hour, but meh... she's 8... it's expected. Next lesson how not to![]()
my 5yo nae naes like a drunk caveman. it's awesome.https://img.ifcdn.com/images/53c1060ad43a95a1775a38937b98092b4beb2cdef7189c9fb78a53d4afb0b0d2_1.jpg
I still don't get it. Then again i have no clue what a whip and nae nae (sp?)is supposed to mean either. Crazy kids these days. Off my lawn, etc etc.
