There are some kids who won't tell you anything about their day when they come home from school. There are other kids who can't shut up about it.

This kid is an example of the latter.

I guess this kid thinks that pants are called legs, and that makes for a pretty hilarious tantrum.

I mean, it's funny for us because we didn't have to actually deal with it.

Have you ever seen a toddler running around with a cup of juice or something that could hurt them? They are almost impossible to catch.

Parents really have to get in shape if they want to keep up with their kids.

They say that you're never really ready to have kids, and that is absolutely true.

If your kid doesn't write "poop" on a fogged-up shower door, are they even a kid?

This is what childhood is all about. Potty humor is the pinnacle of comedy for children.

If it seems like there are too many kids to keep track of and you aren't sure where they're even coming from, then you're not alone.

It looks like a lot of parents have this problem.

So Quiet

My 5 yo decided to count to 1000 in his head. It was the most peace I have had in years.

The best part about what happened here is that the kid just decided to do this all on his own.

He could have counted out loud but he chose not to.

How is it that houseplants are more fragile than human children? These plants are impossibly finicky.

Maybe we're just too busy taking care of kids that we don't have time for houseplants.

The no phones at the table rule is a pretty good rule. Although, there are times when a phone is absolutely necessary.

Proving dad wrong is one of those times.

Come on, Dad, even the doll is wearing one.

I will never understand how some kids can eat their whole dinner in a flash and others take forever to eat a single chicken nugget.

The clipboard throwing was unnecessary.

From what I've seen, parenting comes down to tricks and lies.

Yes, you teach them the importance of morals and being a good person, but when it comes to getting them to go sleep or eat their veggies, it's fair game.

I love my kids with my whole heart, but sometimes I wish that I had actually ended up with shy, quiet children who prefer to read books on their own rather than have a conversation.

Or at least who read books aloud in another room.

Not at all. Will a child still refuse to eat it because it looks weird? Absolutely.

My kid yelled she couldn't wait to be an adult so I handed her the bills, threw the laundry on her bed, replaced her pizza with cauliflower, redirected my student loan cals to her phone and demanded she get me a snack every time she tried to go to the restroom.

We're just saying her joy isn't as high as it could be.
