My 7yo: Can I hold the baby like that one scene from The Lion King?
This reminds me of when “we” carved pumpkins, I say to my kids as they watch me make Christmas cookies.

I got a rotisserie chicken to make my twins try chicken and broccoli pasta, but they saw me pulling it apart, and yelled "I a little shark feed me fishies!" so I've been hand feeding "fishies" to my "sharks" and I couldn't have created a more apt metaphor for parenting toddlers.

Me: that’s...good but you really shouldn’t say that to anyone.
3yo: except bad drivers?
Me: that’s right except bad drivers.

Me: YOU TRY COMING UP WITH NEW IDEAS FOR A GODDAMN MONTH—I mean, um, it's because those spots are filled with Christmas magic, my darlings!
ME: [frantically trying to put a life vest on my 4yo while our ship sinks]
