“Siri, play Busy Woman by @SabrinaAnnLynn ,” I say everyday as I drive from the gym to get home at 630am to start the morning routine for my 2 kids so my wife can sleep in.
Chillin on the couch…
Me to 5yo: How you doin’, Ma’am?
5yo: All good, Big Fella
Me: Hey don’t call me Big Fella. I’m your father.
5yo: Don’t call me Ma’am. I’m your daughter.
Touché
Not to be dramatic but every time we plot my wife's schedule in the family calendar and I see she's on call on some nights, I feel a pang in my chest knowing we might not have dinner together.
Planning a movie day with the girls. Mama excitedly goes "We're having popcorn!" And the 4yo said without a pause, "I can't have popcorn I could choke my teeth are not strong enough". I just looked at Mama and sighed. Then the 4yo added, "I also have delicate bones".
Putting my 4yo to sleep...
4yo: Appa, do you know my bed is big?
Me: It's a toddler bed.
4yo: Yeah it can fit two people.
Me: Mm-hmmm.
4yo: one little girl and one grown up
Me: ...
4yo:...
Me: ....
4yo: Do you know sometimes I get lonel----
Me: OKAY OKAY scoot over
The drama 🙄
Telling my 4yo how to calmly ask for her pants to be changed when she doesn't like it cos she throws a tantrum every time
Me: You can tell me you want a different pair. It's not like the pants hurt you.
4yo: *Whining* But it hurts my LOOK
*Sigh*. You really are my child.
@IIgleebearII@noelletansingco I think na publish cos 20k participants. It's not negligible. But di klaro ang demographics, baseline weight, diet, medical history. Wa gi mention unsay typical diet during eating period. Heavily relying on 24hr diet recall lang sa subjects. Would wait for further studies.
Besties would understand why besties don't always keep in touch. But srsly catching up via Whatsapp is so corporate coded. We might as well chat in LinkedIn.
Late night driving alone and @LewisCapaldi Someone You Loved played on the radio so obvs I belted and this guy at the stoplight was like "You okay, my man??" I yelled back "Happily married with 2 kids!!" The light turned green and off I went but I heard them say "Ah bless!!"
I knew it was a mistake when I said "Yes" to my 3yo's question "Appa, do you want to be a superhero?" cos her next statement was "Good. Superheroes have paint on their legs and face". Anyone knows how to remove highlighter marks? Please. Help a dad out.
@marybuenaaa@ethoricoxib She kept asking why was Barbie crying. And Barbie cried half of the movie so it's all "Why, Appa?" "Why??" "WHY????". WELL SHE'S QUESTIONING HER EXISTENCE AND LOOKING FOR HER TRUTH, MEANING AND PURPOSE LIKE WE ALL ARE HONEY IT'S OVERWHELMING THAT'S WHY SHE'S CRYING THAT'S WHY I..
