One day at a time..

7-year-old: I can tell that dog is a good boy.

Me: How?

7: He's a dog.

[Thoughts of Dog @dog_feelings]

it often seems. like the human is jealous of me. because of how happy i get. about the simplest things. i don’t know how to tell them. they can do that too

Never let anyone knock the progress you make in life. Only you know your story and why it means what it means.

[AK @AKS]

Distance yourself from negative thinkers and your life will get so much brighter.

10-year-old: Why are there dark circles under your eyes?

Me: I'm tired.

10: Why?

Me: I'm an adult.

When you tell your best guy friend to not freak out but you’ve gotta talk about what’s going on in your life... and as you put it into words and explain it, it gets harder and harder to convince yourself that everything is okay...

[Misha Collins @mishacollins]

Hey, Joseph! I prefer to address everyone by the titles they’ve earned, so we’ll keep calling the future First Lady “Dr.” but add the well-deserved title of “Misogynist” to your name. “Misogynist Joseph Epstein” has a nice ring to it!

8-year-old: I quit.

Me: Quit what?

8: Everything.

Me: Take me with you.

6-year-old: Do pumpkins feel it when you carve them?

Me: No. They're not alive anymore.

6: You bought us dead pumpkins?!

That got dark fast.

[Thoughts of Dog @dog_feelings]

[Georgia Hardstark @GHardstark]

You might never be happy with the way you look right now, but you’ll always say “I wish I knew how good I looked” when you see a photo of yourself in the future. So try to be your future self now, ok?

[Thoughts of Dog @dog_feelings]

i know. there’s a lot going on right now. so i just wanted to say. i love you

[Thoughts of Dog @dog_feelings]

it is never too late. to go back to bed

[Ashley McConnell @ashamaleigh]

Me: Do you know what the lesson is?

8-year-old: Don't get married. Go to war.
