Things My Kids Say As Shared On Twitter

My kids say and do a lot of smaller things that never make the blog.  This regular round up is a fun way for me to share some of the smaller moments from my parenting journey.  Enjoy! 

1. Me: They say they want a collage for this project. J: Okay fine.  But remember I don't want anything touching or overlapping. Me: Do you understand what a collage is? J: Yes.  So nothing touching #SMH #SchoolProjects #parenting #crafting

2. Who walks all the way to school before they realize they left their backpack at home despite several reminders? My kid that's who! #parenting

3. Me: you can get dressed up when we go to church to see your cousins perform in the Christmas service. M: like in a costume? I think I’ll wear wings like an angel. Me: no that’s inappropriate. I mean fancy. M: okay but that’s not as much fun #parenting #smh

4. Me: How are you feeling today buddy? J: Much better! And I learned an awesome new word: sharted.  Don't worry, dad told me that I'm not allowed to say it at school #parenting #thingskidssay #SMH

5. When you leave your son unattended to sign holiday cards #smh #parenting

6. When you have to tell your son that #venoming (yes this is a verb in our house) is not appropriate while watching a church pageant #parenting #SMH #SundayFunday #SundayMorning #Marvel

7. Within the first fifteen minutes of real cold weather we have already lost one pair of gloves and discovered that winter boots no longer fit 'when I wear my cozy socks' #parenting

8. J: I can't wear pyjama shirts with buttons. Me: Why? J: Because they make me furious and that's not what pyjama day is all about. (And today we celebrate the true meaning of um...pyjama day?) #parenting #thingskidssay #smh

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

3. J: I have a really good idea for Top Gun 2. Basically it’s a lot of naked volleyball. And the soundtrack will be by Smash Mouth #smh #parenting

4. Every other child in #Toronto - GO #Raptors !!!! My kids: Why is everyone into #dinosaurs all of a sudden? #SMH #sportsfans

5. M: sneezes j: gross! M: the polite thing to say is bless you! J: sorry. Bless you. Ew gross!!! #twins #parenting #smh

6. J: Isn't it weird that #tarantulas & #scorpions are so cute with their little mouths but also so dangerous? Me: Sure? What about them do you find cute? J: Their tiny tiny mouths #perspective #parenting #nature

7. M: so are we going to a fancy restaurant tonight? Me: not really M: well do they have napkins?  Cause that’s fancy #parenting #thingskidssay

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

9. It's hot out, our #airconditioning is broken. Me: What would you like for lunch? M: How about some nice hot chicken noodle soup? #facepalm #smh #parenting
