So we lost the little kid in IKEA today for half an hour. Tried to talk him through the experience at bedtime to work through any trauma. He told me he wants to live in IKEA so he can eat in the restaurant, sleep in ALL the beds and play in the kids section 😒

How I thought I would parent: ‘Come on, sweetheart, let’s get you out of the bath into this warm towel.’

How I actually parent: ‘Children who don’t get out of the bath when I tell them go down the plug and become Sewer Babies! DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN THE SEWER?!’

Been talking to my 5yo for MONTHS about the “marshmallow art” she does Tuesdays at school.

She always has a partner. It’s hard. Etc.

Today she added that they all punched, and kicked…?

I asked some clarifying questions and it turns out they do MARTIAL ARTS on Tuesdays. 😂😂

Friend: We're having a baby!
Me: Oh, congratulations! Watch this. No, wait. Look at this. Do bears make honey? Watch me do this! I want my water in a blue cup.
Friend: … What are you doing?
Me: Well you'll eventually have a 3 year old too, so I'm just getting you ready.

Finally, even though they can get up to mischief, they don’t usually go this far.

Me: Hi police? Yeah, my daughter was being really naughty, so I told her if she didn't stop I'd call the cops. She called my bluff

Cop: Ha, that's OK, I've got kids, I'll play along. What did she do sir?

Me: An excessive number of murders
