My 9yo wants a Circle pendant! I'm so proud! I'm raising a Dekkie!

Whenever I take my kids hiking I tell them that we are good wood trolls, and good wood trolls never step foot off the path. It works for the most part, but the reference is completely lost on them of course.

Kids were fighting in the backseat.

Me: ok, stop touching each other.

Kids: *continue to talk over each other about who did what to whom*

Me: *channeling inner Rafiki* What does it matter? It's in the past!

8yo: I don't care! It still hurts!

Me: *hoping she would say that* Ah yes... the past can hurt. But! You can either run from it, or learn from it!

8yo: Shut up! We're not in frozen!

Me: *to myself* I've failed as a parent...

As I'm putting my kids to bed....

Me to Both Kairi and Roxas: I love my babies. You are my little bundles of cute and I love you forever.

Kairi: He's the baby. I’m a child. I’m 7.

Me to Kai (over dramatically) : My baby girl! why, oh, why did you grow up on me?

Kairi: Uh... That's the way the world works.

I got told by a 7 year old. She is so full of sass.
