Another week and and another round of funny and relatable quips from parents!
Here are some of the ones that made me laugh this week.
Wishing you all a great weekend!

I was very impressed that my son put his socks on for school this morning without having to be told.

I found out tonight that he just didn’t take the socks off last night. He’s been wearing the same pair of socks for two days and thought it was a life hack.

I needed to sneak some packages in, and my daughter—without a word from me—walked up to my husband and said, “So, what’s better: gas or charcoal grilling?” He’s still talking. I’ve never been prouder. She’s ready for marriage.

my kid: *crickets*
me: *driving in heavy traffic*
my kid: who discovered infinity, what's the capital of sri lanka, why do teenagers say skibidi rizz ohio, if jesus was born in year 0 was it year 1 just 6 days later

I'm at that frantic point of gift-buying where I think my mom might really like a tactical flashlight.

My 7yo has been saying his tube is out of toothpaste for the last three weeks. Each time, to his amazement, I've squeezed more toothpaste out of it for him and he's convinced I'm using magic.

My son recently told me that he loves walnuts. Can’t get enough of them. So I bought a huge bag & put some in his lunch box. They were still there after school, so I asked why he didn’t eat them. “THOSE are walnuts?!?” he said. “I was thinking of something else. Those are gross.”

My baby only knows 1 joke so far and it's where we take his legs and move them back and forth really fast while saying a high-pitched "running running running" and I don't think it's a good joke at all but it makes him giggle every time and I'll do anything for an audience laugh.

We were scrolling through the movie selection on Max and my 8 year old said, "Hey can we watch the Wizard of Ounces?"

I’m sure sleeping in is nice but being the only one awake in a quiet house drinking coffee by the Christmas tree is elite.

Wife and I agreed on no Christmas gifts for each other so of course I've been shopping for her every day since October because this is clearly a trap.

I keep showing my kids the movies I watched as a kid and realizing OH MY GOD none of the movies I watched as a kid are kids movies At. All.

Everyone loves when the scissors glide but when you tape the back of the present and the pattern on the paper matches up perfectly? That feels like drugs.

I’d like to formally apologize to everyone I’ve ever mocked for leaving their holiday lights up all year. You were visionaries, and I am now your disciple.

"He is not fat. Some people say it, but he is not. Mostly, it's the suit. Yes, maybe he has a little fat, but it's to stay warm, that's all." My 6 year old's passionate defense of Santa Claus's physique, fortuitously delivered directly in front of our 'Santa Cam' tree ornament.
