Three yr old: I’d be a Sasquatch

Hard to argue with.

We were having dinner (my husbands family + mine) and talking about dishes (we come from different cultures so we were exchanging the cusines). My 3y/o son already finished eating and was standing next to crib with his 2 month old sister of which he is super proud. We randomly hear him exclaim repeatedly "if anybody ever hit little sister, i will do this!' while making a strong push away motion. With threat in his voice and angry look too!

He is very non agressive kid and he didnt hear/learn such stuff from any of us. His school environment is also very loving. So it was shock to all of us but he clearly meant it. Melts my heart to see daughter will have such good protector, even if he is barely older than her 🥰

A little i teraction between my 5 year old and I from today:

Me: Finish your milk please!

5: Okay Ma'am!

Me: You can call me mom.

5: Okay ma'am mom!

Me:(suppreses a giggle)

We’ve gone over the first few presidents (long dead, obviously) of the US, as well as the ones on coins, and she asked the name for our current/last one. I obliged and said Joe Biden, the 46th President. She said ”how’d he die??” She didn’t understand that we still have Presidents. My husband heard and was laughing in the other room.

I was wearing USA flag socks with stars and stripes. 3yo calls them "Happy America socks." (I think he was trying to say 4th of July....)

7 year old- Mom, I just now realized our cats are really poor, all they own is their bodies and fur.

*Our cats: (and your whole house, and your wake time cuz, we own the night.)

Hello

Hope this is allowed here.

My name is Claudia and I am a participant in this year's super Mom completion. I am currently 2nd place in the first round of my group and I am seeking your free vote in this competition.

The Super Mom competition is an annual competition and the proceeds from the compeition is used tk support the Children's Miracle Network Charity of hospitals.

You can vote once daily for free. However, if you have the capacity and want to support this charity there are link options for you to do so.

Please see my profile at the link below. If I am fortunate to win I hope to support my sons' post secondary education as well as more immediately support access to more early intervention therapy options for my younger son with Cerbral Palsy.

Other ways to support is to forward the link to others who may be interested in supporting place in the competition.

Thank you

Me to 3yo: you are too cheeky!

3yo: I’m not two cheeky! I’m one cheeky!

My six year old daughter was singing into a maracas, pretending it was a microphone, holds it at arms length, after the song, drops it and declared. "Mic drop!".... Then got mad at us for thinking it was funny.

Yesterday I was reversing into the driveway, and my youngest who was 2 end of Jan said "You going backwards mum. Be careful the bins!"

I've literally never reversed into a bin in my driveway (we'll not this one anyway and certainly not with him in the car!!)

Once, I told my daughter (6) "I love you so much, my precious little flower" which I had never called her before. She paused, confused, and came back with "I love you so much too, my giant runner bean."

My daughter this evening. I was vacuuming. Y'all this child is nearly 12. She was serious. I told her she could turn it down if she could find the volume button.. she finally gave up looking 5 minutes later. Lord help me.

Teacher: Ok Billie Eilish

…now I’m having an existential crisis!

And a solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the earth and the sun.

11yo: and when the sun comes between the earth and the moon that's an apocalypse

Me: ...

Me: ….better than what?

6: Better than just murder because at least then they were doing it for food.

Wife: because we have a rat in the roof

7: can I say a swear word?

Wife: sure

7: that mother fucker.

And that hits me hard. Oww. My son

Is this from something? I asked her and she said she made it up.

My allergies have exploded all over my face and apparently my congested state has caused me to be more shouty than usual. Haha.

My three year old was running up and down the lounge room. She shouts out:

I’ve got the zoomies mummy! I’ve got the zoomies!

Yes, she meant VHS tapes.

Kid, completely unprompted, after a while of silence: “Do we get money from breaking bones?” Me: “No?” Kid: “Oh. Okay!”

In regards to our 21 year anniversary today. Haha.

My daughter is 9. She just came inside from eating dessert on the porch.

Me: “hello sunshine!”

Daughter: “hello bootyface.”

Me: “light of my life…”

Daughter: “bootyface.”

My 6 year old said he’s going to adopt children when he grows up because then they will already be tame.

We live in the state where the partial eclipse was observed today. In our 3yo's daycare the teachers decided to hold a special class about eclipse indoor so that the kiddos won't hurt their eyes but could learn about this special phenomenon. They used a light and small balls to demonstrate which I saw in the photos they shared with the parents.

The 3YO came home and told me, "Today, Ms.x said the sun is really yellow!!"
