Things My Kids Said (As Shared On Twitter)

We spend a lot of time with the minions and I'm fortunate enough to record the things that they say and do so I can look back on it and laugh.  Some of it makes the blog and other smaller moments don't.  One of the brilliant things about Twitter is how it's the ultimate parenting "elevator speech", because you have to keep it short. Below are recent Tweets, conversations, parental musings and things that the minions have done or said over the past month or two, for your reading pleasure that haven't made it to the blog.

1. J: yeah I know that guy. He’s a bully because he called me Marcus. Me: maybe he thought your name was Marcus. J: it’s not and I don’t appreciate being called a Marcus. Plus he said I didn’t have a bucket when I was totally carrying an invisible bucket. So there. #parenting

2. Me: You need to try harder in gym. J: Why? It's not like it's #math #kidlogic (He's totally right) #parenting #smh

8. As J told me about his school talent show & his performance of 'the coconut dance' which involved a lot of drumming and chanting the word #coconut I realized he may become an experimental musician or #NapoleonDynamite & really I'm good with either #parenting #smh
