Think I witnessed the genesis of the "friend zone" and "wing man" traits in my boys tonight. The older bother, 7, is coaching his brother, 5, on how to be a spy with the girls because they trust him. Watching their little minds talk this out is incredible #parentinginapandemic
H: Mom, what does love mean?
Me: Well bud, that your heart and mind and body really care about something
H: oh...I really love baked beans
Me: (thinking) does that count as a parenting win?

Kids talking this morning:
P- described a toy
H- made the sound “Daaamn”
Mom- nicely asked what he said
H- all NBD said “Yam, like the potato. But you say it like that at something cool”
Mom- 💀 and 😂 trying to figure out how to correct him

Our 6 year old was hyping on his uncle’s truck and said it was “so pooped out” and we think he meant ‘pimped’ but this is one we are going to leave uncorrected for a bit 😂
@TimFerrissBlog That last bullet was a good one for self reflection and a dinner discussion!

SCIENTISTS: “We’ve produced the first-ever image of a supermassive Black Hole, 55-million light years away”
RESPONSE: “Oooh!”
SCIENTISTS: “We’ve concluded that humans are catastrophically warming Earth”
RESPONSE: “That conflicts with what I want to be true, so it must be false”
So I just explained what “Dafuq” means and felt young and cool. Then said “dang that’d make a great Scrabble word in a few years when it is added to the dictionary” and instantly felt 95
My kids are being so terrible today that during their nap I’m watching TV and eating all of their mini ice cream cones. I will then blame it on the elves. #notsorry#HappyFriday to me and anyone that smiles patiently at screaming, demanding, unappreciative #tinyhumans
