My daughter went to a birthday party and came back with serious swag. She tells me, dead serious:
"I got these two pumpkins. They're friends."

My daughter used kids messenger to send me a picture of her foot in which she had drawn a red circle around her big toe. This was followed by a message:
"There is a bump on my toe and I am concerned about it"
This, folks, is parenting in a nutshell.

My son upon my arrival home, totally wrecked from my long journey, barely able to stay upright:
"Can we have crepes tomorrow?
(I DO make excellent crepes but could I have two seconds to settle in? The answer is no.)

My eight year old daughter: "Christmas sucks for adults. All you get is socks and deodorant."
(I do not, in reality, ever recall getting deodorant for Christmas, but she insists that I once did.)

My daughter was tasked with removing roly-poly bugs from the school garden yesterday and was telling me about it this morning:
"We all had to remove ten roly-poly bugs. They're eating the cantaloupe plants! And the watermelon plants! (I don't really care about the tomatoes) But the cantaloupe! The watermelon!"

13 year old son:
"No one told me it's Mother's Day. So I didn't make you anything. Happy Mother's Day!"
(I did get a hug. I'll take it!)
