My 3 year old told the doctor that she liked eating her vegetables.

My toddler screamed "HELP!" at 2am like she was being attacked because her blanket was tangled, so don't talk to me about your problems.

The 3yo insisted on helping me put all the laundry away. It's only taken us 6 hours & 10 minutes & apparently pants go in the fridge now.

Fun fact: If you take the fluffy pad off a Swiffer, it becomes a pitchfork for a toddler to attack you with.

You could make dinner for a toddler, or you could just cut out the middle man & throw away a plate of food and squirt ketchup on the dog.

3-year-old: *pouts*
Me: Is something wrong with your lunch?
3: It's too wet.
Me: It's soup.

Growing up I used to be afraid of the dark but now I am afraid of hearing my toddler wake up in the middle of the night.

Just discovered why my dishes weren't getting clean... Caught my toddler pressing cancel mid-wash.

A toddler can do more in one unsupervised minute than most people can do all day.
