Welcome to having a toddler: you can no longer store anything sharp or small in the coffee table drawers. #ToddlerLife

Me: *just trying to get through a regular day My Brain:

Ever wonder what it's like to cook breakfast with a poltergeist? Then a toddler might be for you. #toddlers #parenting

Look, I don't miss actually going places. I just miss the freedom to make plans and then cancel them last minute. #introvert #pandemic

@EmpressRandom Big mad. 😬

Oh no, Norman is fuming again with the latest 1-star review! Sorry, the latest "intellectually bankrupt" reviwe.

@FredInTheKnud I do wonder about him periodically. 🤣

In case you were wondering about Norman Boutin, author of Empress Theresa, he's still responding to negative reviews nearly eight years later.

Me: *offers 11 month old a glass of water 11 MO: *drops a cube of cheese in the glass #kids #parenting

I provide my 11 month old with a whole playpen full of toys. He wants to play with the spray bottle full of water. #kids

@penguinrandom I honestly feel so attacked right now.

In case you need this today: finish that book already 👀

I saw an incredibly unfunny meme and got worried I missed the joke. Then I realized it was an advertisement. The joke died before the meme was posted.

@JoeGabelNumba1 It's cute. Until "goodnight nobody". That shit ominous. 👀

@April_E_Jackson Ha ha ha! Young children like routine, don't they? In any case, Goodnight Moon is a really sweet book--and one I am (or used to be) very familiar with.

The most accurate thing about Goodnight Moon is that it takes that little bunny boy a whole hour to go to sleep. #Goodnightmoon #ChildrensBooks

@JoeGabelNumba1 I wouldn't trade a minute of it. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if the kid would let me read him something other than the same four books, though.

@April_E_Jackson Been there.

@JoeGabelNumba1 I think reading it to my son for the 800th time took the magic out. Lol.

@April_E_Jackson Ha ha ha! You've sorta taken the magic out of the book! You're what they call a "realist." 😉
