MisterBibs posted:I brought my Switch in to work today to let my kids play Super Mario Odyssey, because they've been good. My kids play blocky roads on the tablet occasionally, some Minecraft-looking side scrolled driving game. They've pretty much stopped driving and just compete to make the most nauseating/epilepsy-inducing paint schemes possible. They discovered they could make the individual blocks flash multiple colours.I gave up telling them to play it properly when I realised how old I sounded.

Phone call from my twin nephews, age 8: "Auntie Kiara, Father Christmas came to us in a dream and said that you would buy us new consoles this year. That is true, right?" Sorry, little buddies, you are going to have to share the console your parents are buying you. But I will give you two games to share.

I work on the deli department in a supermarket, which is next to our salad bar. One night a customer asked if we had any more sweetcorn, so I went to grab a new tin since we have a shared chiller. His little girl seemed very excited about this and was talking about how they were going to be the first people to get the new sweetcorn, and she told her dad not to get too tense. It was the most  inducing thing.

I got a call on Sunday. My three year old nephew was like "I saw a triceratops. I saw a dinosaur. I saw a spinosaurus. I'm dinosaur crazy. There's Mommy. I saw indominus rex. I saw a raptor. I'm dinosaur crazy. They have eyes. I see Daddy." After about ten minutes, I hear "After while crocodile" and he hangs up.

I had a paint roller rod in hand and did my best Gandalf impression to my three your old son. As we're getting him ready for bed, he puts his magic markers together end to end, taps them on the ground and says as gruffly as he can, "Don't cross!"

I'm exaggerating a bit here, but that Superman script is more compelling than most of the recent DC movies. I would watch the poo poo out of Superman cutting off someone's dick.

My kiddo Nova has recently been calling me "Real person Dad" and telling is "Paw Patrol is for God" and won't let us watch it together. As far as I know I've always been a real person but maybe she knows something I don't.

Some quotes from the kids at the new years party: - "if we make less noise, can we still wrestle?" (after 2 separate hrs of shooting off bottle rockets & jumping jacks) - "oh wow we have so many bombs, we can shoot for like 5 hours! yay!" *10 secs* - "lets go inside, also when is dessert?" also all grownups got a nickname: "baldy", "silly", "glassy" (glasses), "chubby" (ehh alright this once), "browny" (  ... great opportunity for having that talk i guess)

I was talking to my son tonight and he told me he was happy for the long weekend and I asked if he knew why it was a long weekend and he said "yeah, its martin luther king junior day." I asked him if he knew why mlk jr gets a day to honor him and he said "yeah, he stopped bad things from happening to brown people." "What kind of things?" I asked. He goes "Brown people had to use old rusty stuff and white people had new stuff!" I cannot wait until he moves out of South Carolina...

I don’t know how old your son is, but I don’t think that’s just a South Carolina thing. I think that’s just how they teach the civil rights movement to younger kids who may not be ready to hear about the truly horrific stuff yet. I grew up in Massachusetts and I remember learning about separate water fountains and having to sit in the back of the bus years before I learned about lynchings and the KKK and poo poo.

Trying to read a story to a kindergarten class when, out of nowhere: GIRL: "Hey um...my daddy is from France? And he speaks French? And, um, his mommy is almost dead." All I could think of in the moment was to say, "Oh, well, it happens."
