oh last time he made me put the tears back on his face
LOL. My wife just called to let me know that our son was 30 minutes late to preschool because he had a complete meltdown in the parking lot when she wiped his mouth, insisting that they go back home so he could put more peanut butter on his face.

We park in a self-park apt building garage where we (usually) park behind another car. Every time I pull into the space and stop now, E, who is 2, says "Dad, drive a little more!" meaning pull up more. She is usually right.

The kids were talking about how Justine Clarke is about to have her own show on ABC (she's a kids tv presenter)

One of my sons has started attempting to engage our Amazon Echo in conversation and it's been amazing.
For example, he banged his leg on a table running around the living room and said, "Ow! Alexa, do you have legs?"

my son has a song he made up and sings quite a lot, usually after I tell him something. It's called 'No it isn't' and goes: 'No it isn't, no it isn't, no it isn't.... no it isn't, no it isn't...'

I put on Massive Attack's Protection as dinner music last night and D started singing "I'll stand in front of you" randomly as the song went on; then, when "Karmacoma" started, both boys started doing a raise-the-roof dance routine in their chairs. To my knowledge, I hadn't played the album for them before.
It's working. It's really working.

Been super into dinosaurs lately and last week he came home from preschool having learned that “poop” is the funniest word ever. So now I’m constantly hearing “poopasaurus is the stinkiest dinosaur ever!”

Does he know that the word for fossilized dino poop is "coprolite"? Because I know that now, all because of children.

"Be Faithful" by Fatman Scoop was playing on the radio while I was getting ready this morning; after I left the bathroom, D followed me to my bedroom and jumped up and down on the bed while rapping the Black Sheep quote as I got dressed.

I've been saving these up. From my 6-year-old son.
"I wanna pack" "what do you want to pack?" "No! I want a pack of wolves! I want fifteen wolves!"
"Why is Easter on a different day every year?" "It's on a different calendar, it's on the lunar calendar." "I haven't got a lunar calendar, I've got a Dangermouse calendar"

We were watching Hunt for the Wilderpeople last night. At some point, the main character says reads a poem that ends with the line "live forever." My girl says something like "Live forever... Does he mean he'll live until the sun explodes and takes the earth with it? Where will we scatter the earth's ashes - the moon?"

At bedtime, the eight-year-old boy starts talking about how these kids at school keep roasting him.
"Roasting you? What, like doing snaps on your mother?"
"Snaps on my mother?" he says. "I don't even know what that means."
"What do you mean by 'roasting' then?"
He then goes on this tear on me, "You know I'm not talking about cooking, right? People at school aren't putting me in an oven, OK? Do you see this?" - in other words, he starts roasting me about roasting.
"OK! THEN WHAT ARE THEY ROASTING YOU ABOUT?"
"My hairline."
I have one of those moments where I realize I've comprehended nothing in the past 15 minutes (again). "Your hairline? What hairline?"
I hate doing this in the middle of this informative conversations, but I take out the iPhone and Google "roasting hairline jokes" like the 44-year-old white dad I am. A huge list of sites pop up, along with about two dozen LeBron James memes, all about his polar hairline.
I look up at the boy, who has hair nothing like LeBron James. "What about your hairline do they roast you about?"
He points to the side of his head, the one place where his hair is cut and trimmed perfectly to match the contour of his ear. "My hairline, dude!"
I don't know what to say except that in a way, I'm glad he's being included.

my 8-y-o son would have, at least three or four times during that conversation, rolled his eyes and made a massive sigh like i was literally the dumbest person alive
