My kids were listening to their playlist in the car, when all of a sudden my oldest yells “WAIT PAUSE THE SONG!”

I did, and then she said:

“And down came the good fairy and she said…” (from Little Bunny Foo Foo)

Then there was an awkward pause, but I figured she wanted me to hit play.

“I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT”.

The kids roared with laughter, and a new game was born. Now in between songs or randomly in the middle of songs, we have to pause the music to hear what the silly good fairy is about to say.

I had to document this while it's still fresh..

Occasionally, I like to play this video game on my iPad, using a game controller. Sometimes, I would screen mirror to a TV for a bigger view. I left the iPad charging, while it mirrored to a TV in an upstairs bedroom. My 5 year-old could see the game on the iPad, but I was nowhere to be found. When he found me he says, "Wow! How are you playing this when your iPad is downstairs?" I answer, "I know, right? Technology has come a long way." He replies, "Yeah, all the way upstairs."

Kids are smarter than we think.

Today my toddler walked in the bathroom while I was on the toilet and said "Whatchu peein' Mama?"

Don't know if this counts since they weren't MY kids but today, I had to explain to 2 young girls that them working a shift in the store in exchange for squishies, would probably be breaking every labor law that has ever been written. 😅

I left her dad when she was a few months old.

She wants to have a sibling and in the past year she found out that in order for her to have a sibling, either her dad or I will need to have a kid. And I told her I'm not having another kid until I'm married-- if I get married. And so she is deadset on me getting married now lol.

Tonight, she decided to give me dating advice.

"Mom, marry someone who is nice to you.

And gives kisses.

And hugs.

And loves you."

and TBH- that's pretty solid advice lol. Just a sweet little moment.

My 8 year old daughter has just had her 1st look through my feed here and asked me this question. Do you prefer a door that opens inward or outward and why.

Apologies, i posted this elsewhere and it was removed, thanks to the excellent people who engaged.

please let me know if this isn't the right subreddit to use, I wasn't sure where to go with this.

recently, my kids that I work with have been playing a game on the playground that they call "ruffy dogs". they've made it very clear that it is ruffy, and I have absolutely no idea what this game could have come from. my kids say that it's from some kind of movie or show, but none of them can give me any other information about the media itself, no specifics on if its a movie or a show, where they watch it, anything like that.

there's only four characters in ruffy dogs, from what I've been told, and they have names like Flower and Corn. the only reason I found out that this game was based on some sort of media is because of one of my kids insistence that they were only four characters, so a fifth child couldn't play with them.

if anyone has any idea what they could possibly mean by this, I would appreciate any sort of leads. these kids are all 4, by the way.

Listen to this

My son (10) is doing his vocabulary homework. He has to write the word and the definition from his textbook. And then come up with a synonym for and a sentence using each word.

Me: "I'm not sure. Let's check a thesaurus."

10: "Like a dinosaur?"

I pull out Merriam-Webster and help him look up encounter. He decides to use confront as his synonym.

10: "Is this cheating? This feels like cheating."

Hello parents! ✨️

What are some questions your 4–8-year-old keeps asking lately?

I’m collecting everyday questions that can turn into simple learning activities—things like “Why does rain fall?”, “Why do we have shadows?” and “Why does ice melt?”

Would love to hear the questions your children ask most often. 🙌🏻

My 7 year old son just held up a jar with a bunch of glitter in it. He says mom, God probably put us in a glass jar that just goes around and around forever and we could never see the ending. Stars we can see from earth are probably dead on the other side since light hits differently. Right mom?

I'm a mother of two with a teenager. She constantly repeats phrases and songs, and I am worried that they might be inappropriate for her. Could you please explain where they are from? These are the phrases she repeats, I might get some of these wrong. "Get (a word)" "Earthworm Sally, carrying diseases" in a high pitched voice, "louis gaming cool, the top five reasons why I hate (same/similar word as above)" "it's tv time" She says these phrases accompanied with trumpet music she plays on YouTube. "Jeromah/Jeromah" "hey there, (a name)" "it's me, flowery" "here I come, san Francisco!" (but she replaces the "Cisco" part with "disco") Also, she seems to talk a lot about her favourite character from a show she watches on YouTube. He has a microwave/television for a head, and is named "Mr Puzzle"

I was having a conversation with my 3 year old grandson & asked him which he liked better- lakes or rivers. He replied "lakes". I asked him why & he said "that's just the way the world works"!

I asked my daughter where he might have heard that phrase & she said she started saying it in response to him asking "why" for the 5th time in a row!

Today my son and I were riding back from his doctor appointment & errand running and this conversation ensued ….

Me: child’s name did you miss sissy and daddy?
2y/o: yeah insert name miss them
Me: aww is sissy your best friend??
2y/o: no. Ketchup is my best friend.

And you know what that was a totally relatable statement to be honest.
