 I was annoyed about last minute laundry, but I can’t say I ever expected I’d get a last minute request to send a ukulele to school

That feeling when the children skip along all together, holding hands. That feeling when they race off ahead, arms stretched out, yelling “AIRPLANE MODE!!!”

There’s something about introducing people to Eurovision and having your kids singing along with the songs and loudly making requests…

 Trying to explain why it was not okay for Splat the Cat to release all the ice cream out of the vats at the ice cream factory, even though he and the other cat-children cleaned it up…

Day 4225

 What kind of mutant children dislike spaghetti but love fish?!

JUST CHOOSE.

 When your kid casually mentions world war eleven…

Day 4215

 Give the children a bonus day off: smurfs and Lego, all day long. 

Day 4214

 If your chair has given up, why not walk your little legs off in the drizzle until you find the lost library?
