My 5 year old came up to me with a smile and said, "I have something cool to tell you" and I said "Yeah?" He said, "If no one's there, and you toot, you don't have to say excuse me" and then skipped off because this realization has apparently brought him great joy

My daughter just realized that the mom in “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” was kissing her husband and not the actual Santa. She 100% thought it was a song about holiday adultery. She is 14 years old.

My daughter is colouring at the kitchen table and asks me to turn the light on. I turn on the light and she laughs this evil little laugh and I think in that moment she realized that she enjoys costing us money. That or I just graduated from snack bitch to general house bitch.
