This kid noticed that her dad seemed to be engrossed in the newspaper every morning, so she used that knowledge to ask her father for a small favor. Puppies are way more fun than news.

Yeah, snaps and buttons are great for getting clothes off in a hurry when there's been a blowout, but when those kids start moving, it's a lot harder to get the buttons done up.

This kid should probably know which words are on her upcoming test, right? I mean, obviously, she has to spell words. What else could she possibly have to spell? Math equations?

If this kid wants to play his Xbox games that his parents very kindly bought for him, then he has to learn how to help out around the house. It's only fair.

If you didn't know what an owl was called and you called it a wood penguin, I'd say that was close enough. How is this kid coming across penguins and not owls? Where does he live?

Apparently, kids these days have no idea what landlines actually look or sound like. Pretty soon, landlines are going to be a relic of the past and we'll all forget what they sound like.

Whoever thinks it's okay to say that a dad is babysitting when he's looking after his own kids is seriously disturbed. Those are his kids. He isn't babysitting. He's parenting.

Kids may be a lot of things, but they certainly know how to tell it like it is. You can't say that they're not honest. Sometimes that honesty hurts, though.

There's a feeling you have when you're grinding up spinach into a paste, mixing it with minced meat, and rolling it into balls (but being careful not to turn the meatballs entirely green). Assassins must also feel that feeling.

When you have your first kid, you pay attention to everything they do. You don't let them watch certain cartoons, and you make sure they only eat one cookie after they've eaten at least one bite of a fruit. None of that happens with the third kid.

Well, it's time for a lesson on homophones. "Gays" and "gaze" sound like the same word, but they're spelled differently, so they have different meanings. For example, "penetrating gaze" means a look that could pierce right through you. "Penetrating gays" means...

Kids don't really understand the concept of a summary. They want to get all of the details in and then some. And they really want to focus on the details that don't really have any bearing on the story.

Maybe this dad should have told his kids to be careful before they fell over, although you and I both know that it wouldn't have changed the outcome. Kids just fall over sometimes.
