Adventures in parenting: Just pulled a dried apricot the size of two pieces of candy corn out of H's nose with a pair of tweezers after unsuccessfully trying to blow it out CPR-style. #andthatswhywedonteatlyingdown On April 25, 2016 at 08:30PM

Are bananas healthy or junk food?

H: Are bananas healthy or junk food?
M: What do you think?
H: Healthy... unless you choke.

Can you pretend to eat me?

As we pass a frowning teenager at her bus stop

I saw a person who doesn't like mornings!

Passing by some planters of various shapes outside daycare: M: Look, H! Are those the flowers you were trying to show me yesterday? H: Yes. M: Isn't it cool how one is a circle and the other is a square? H: Um, no, mom. That's a rectangle.

First of many...

H: Why?
M: Because that's the rule.
H: Why?
M: Because Mommy and Daddy made it the rule.
H: Why?
M: Because we're the parents and it's our job to keep you safe.
H: I want new parents.
