Another week and and another round of funny and relatable tweets from parents!
Here are some of my favorite quips from this week.
Wishing you all a great weekend!

Me and my son are the only ones home tonight and he talked to me for 2 straight hours until I said "Hey bud I just need a half an hour to do a little bit of work," and he said sympathetically "I bet," then continued talking to me for another 2 hours.

My 3yo just told me, wrathfully, "Well, if you won't play with me then I'm gonna take a NAP on the COUCH!"

Ooooh. That'll show me.

I made a pizza using fat-free cheese so if anybody wants to try some pizza made with fat-free cheese it’s in my trash.

We were sneaking some snacks into the movie theater when my 7yo asked what happens if we get arrested. My 10yo son, "I'll just call my cousin Vinny." A ++ parenting.

Being a mom is so weird because other kids can sense it and they'll just randomly hand you a piece of trash.

Me: OK, in the $1.50 Costco hotdog combo do you think the hot dog is $1 and the drink is $.50 or both $.75?

When you land on time, but the plane does that little 37 minute sightseeing trip around the airport

Shout-out to the dad who suggested we have a parents vs. kids game for the last soccer practice, and then didn't show up to the game where us parents almost died playing 12 – 14 year olds "taking it easy" on us in 80-degree weather.

Heard another dad at the park refer to the approaching ice cream truck as the music truck. His kid didn’t make one mention of ice cream, just said “oh cool, I love the music truck!” I was stunned. Absolutely brilliant.

my 8 year old was complaining about the music we were listening to in the car & i told her to “just vibe” & she said she “can’t vibe to this music” because she’s “not from the olden days.” 😭

I’m really proud you’re getting your own place. It’s now time we have the talk.
Dewalt and Ryobi and others all have an exclusive battery system and you’ll want to just commit to one…

Was feeling really ugly in my outfit yesterday but then before bed my 4yo goes "mama I love the shorts you're wearing today. You look like a cheetah." So like, if you ever feel ugly remember a 4yo might think you're beautiful because to them you look like a cheetah.

Just let my 1yo try his first tiny bite of homemade chocolate fudge, and the light of utter maniacal glee that came into his eye struck in my own heart a fear akin to that which Dr. Frankenstein must have felt

I saw a post about doing affirmations with your kids so I started saying "I am strong, I am kind, I am brave" to my toddler and he said "mama stop doing that"

If you want to hide something from your kids, put it in the laundry basket under the clean laundry.

I'm driving 1 hour to pick strawberries that will cost more than the already-picked strawberries at my grocery store one block away. Why? Because 15y/o wants to and when your teenager wants to do anything with you, you drop everything and do it, no matter how illogical!

A couple months ago I bought a kids' book about zoos and exotic animal care to get my little kids interested in the zoo. Yesterday I told my 3yo we'd be going to the zoo soon. His eyes grew wide and he said "Wait …. zoos are REAL?!"

My wife is out of town, so I just needed to tell someone that I emptied the dishwasher

#20 I’ll try the “chock let mooes” please!
Hardly seen the girls this afternoon as they've been busy in the kitchen. Finally got my menu. Can't wait to try 'gracal molee.' pic.twitter.com/2WpDXO8Rz9
