Things My Kids Say As Posted 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, for your reading pleasure that haven't made it to the blog.



1. Me: Why are you only wearing underwear? J: The #chupacabra stole my clothes #parenting #SMH #ThingsKidsSay

2. J: I think King Kong grabbed that woman and climbed up the building because he was angry that people weren’t showing him respect. So he thought “this will teach them” #parenting

3. There is a fly in my house thanks to my children and their disdain for shutting the screen door. As I try to work today this has gone from mild annoyance to Walter White levels of rage (Breaking Bad the #freelance writer edition)


4. J: Why don't we ride on rainbows? Me: I don't know how to. J: (slaps down fist on table) Why doesn't this make you as angry as it makes me? #parenting #SMH #ThingsKidsSay

5. Me: What would you like for lunch? J: A bowl of #Nutella and a spoon Me: I respect that, but it's not happening J: How about you get out some crackers and I'll pretend to eat them too?. (The apple doesn't fall far from the tree) #parenting


6. J: Do you like the Food Fighters? Me: They're okay & they're called the #FooFighters J: Well that's disappointing. Can we have a food fight some time? #smh #ThingsKidsSay #parenting

7. I don't know what's more horrifying - my 6 yr old whistling & pointing for me to sit down while he ate the #gelato I bought him like he owned me OR the 18 yr old cashier who offered a sympathetic, "terrible 2s?" and genuinely meant it #parenting #smh

8. The ultimate #summerbreak parental conundrum: when your kids are getting along great but speaking primarily in potty talk. Do you break it up or let it slide? #parenting

9. My son refuses to use his brand new #Frozen toothpaste because "it's too spicy" (battles I never saw coming) #parenting #FacePalm

10. Looking back at Js school work for the year and pleased his teacher didn’t give him a hard time for his word choice on his spelling list #parenting #kids
