My eight-year old has been laid low with flu the last couple of weeks so has been not capable of doing much with a high fever most of the time.
He's ended up watching a fair bit of Youtube and other stuff - lots of stuff invariably about U.S. family life or teenagers fooling about and eating".

Last night at the dinner table he asked, "Can you buy vegetables in America?"

Yes. Kale chips with vegan cheese.

Foodball.

A friend's daughter, 3-years-old, seing chestnuts in the forest: "Look! That's hedgehog's eggs!"

You are my Little Mom.

Porcupunk.

I am a proud prude.

Christmath.

Teacher in girls sex ed class: can you love love a boy just because of how they look?
Kids: *discussion*

Later
My daughter: * approaches teacher alone* you know that some girls don’t only love love boys and it can be girls too?
Teacher: *digests* awwwwww that’s sweet.

Way to go, girl! Yeah!

Today is my Math Day. Shhhhh.

"Darlin', could you stop throwing your food around the plate as if it was a dead corpse, please?"

"I could. But how do you know what throwing a dead corpse around the plate looks like?"

Ok, my daughter is not really a kid anymore... but she said something funny I wanted to post.

Dad, she asked me last night... who was created first man or woman. I paused before I answered.

Well, the bible I think says man was created before the woman, Adam and Eve thing.

So he created man, a prototype... and then made the the perfect model she said, woman.

I had smile, yes.. your right I said.. man was his first try and woman was surely the improved version

Do you want to see a TikTok on parents?

I’m making ginger tea. My 12-year old looks and asks: “Why are you chopping a potatoe?”.

our babygirl (1.5 years) always points on older children and says ‚look, a baby!‘

I was at the bakery yesterday with my two adult but smallish dogs. One little kid behind me in the queue exclaimed: "Look! A baby wolf!"

We all laughed, it was so cute

I was babysitting Kael, age 6. He asked me to make "strangled eggs." In his lexicon, that meant scrambled eggs made with no milk. I've called them that ever since.

Not cute but funny.

My teenage son asked if he could make a sandwich the other day. "What can I put in it?" he asked.

"Have a look in the fridge", I replied.

"I'm not having any of that Italian prosciutto that I had yesterday", he said, "It tasted a bit weird".

He showed me the packet. It was uncooked bacon!

My eldest told our friends she really likes "smashed potatoes".
