Me, making a pediatrician appt for my 5yo son.

Receptionist: “What’s his birth year?”

Me: “17”

Them: “2017 or….?”

Me: “Oh yes. 2017.”

My 4-year-old told me a boy in her class hit her so I asked how she handled that and she said “I told him ‘you need to get it together, Neil.’” A conflict resolution queen.
