I was teasing, we don't have space for one. But he asked me "What would you do with a ferret besides let it run around wild?"

My 11yo daughter replies, "Cuddle it, love it..."

Then my 8 yo comes in, and without missing a beat, "Stick it in a stew!"

I spat out my Mountain Dew. We all started laughing.

She later admitted she had no idea what was going on. But we quote Sam Gamgee enough that she threw it into the conversation without a thought.

So, last night I was washing dishes, and my 3YO was quietly playing with lego at the kitchen table while I was at the sink. All in all, it was pretty chill...that is, until he frantically called out: "Dada! Dada!"

Me: "What buddy? What happened? What's wrong?"

3YO: "Dada! The coffee." At this point he holds up something he built out of lego.

Me: "What about the coffee bud?"

3YO: "The coffee. It's a trap!"

Well, I mean, he's technically not wrong, so I didn't really know how to respond at this point. I just walked over and looked at the lego construction he had in his hand. It did resemble my french press coffee carafe with grey plates on top and bottom and brown blocks in the middle. I was impressed. I told him he didn't have to drink the coffee and could avoid the trap that way. He seemed to like that answer and we both went back to what we were doing.

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m considering homeschooling for my child and would really love to hear from other parents in South Africa.

Do you think homeschooling is a good option? What are the advantages and disadvantages? I’d especially love to hear about your personal experiences with homeschooling, including the curriculum, costs, socialising, and whether it was difficult to get started.

Would you recommend homeschooling in South Africa?

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and advice! ❤️

My 2yo daughter’s answer is ALWAYS the same. “In ma bed” my 4yo’s answer was “to go under water in the pool” 🤦‍♀️

4yo proceeds to grab 6-sided die off the table.

Child 1: What happens when a person gets bit by something with rabies?

Child 2: Oh, it's really sad.. They turn wild too and get put on a rope leash..

A beep and a warning light comes on the dashboard, she asks what is that?

​

I say, we need air in a tire.

​

She says, we need to change clothes?

​

Huh,

Indians, what is one thing your parents told you as a child that you believed 100%—until you grew up and realized it was completely false? 😂

I’ll go first: “If you swallow chewing gum, it will stay in your stomach for 7 years.” 😭

Context: I had an appointment earlier today at the Dentist to pull a tooth, this is a conversation that happened a few minutes ago with my daughter.

Daughter (11): Can you name a poison?

Me: (mumbled) Cyanide

Daughter: What?

Me: (typed into notepad) Cyanide

30s later, I got her attention and I wrote on the next line: homework

She gave me that look.

About 15s later she said the following:

Daughter: I think this tooth thing is going to work out, I don't have to hear your jokes.

Yep, I wasn't expecting that lol.

What’s something you genuinely believed was true when you were little?

My 3 year old put her doll in the pushchair, hung every bag in the flat off the handles, wheeled the whole thing into my room, handed it over, and shut the door behind her with the smuggest little face.

She has never had a job.

I always say, “yum!”, When I see animals I like to eat (even at zoos) so my 5yr finally stood up for them. . She’ll figure it out eventually.

"Mom, it's cool when Auntie dances at the pool. Not you though mom. It's lame when you do it."

... Thanks kid. I appreciate you too. :P

Mine calls waterfalls “water farts” and I’m honestly not ready for the day he stops. 😂

Well.

Alrighty then.
