This morning my 3yo was mad and told me he wanted a different mama and I said “what kind of mama do you want?” And he said “one who wears a black suit”. I think about the ways I’m failing as a parent a lot but I hadn’t even considered that it’s bc I don’t have a black suit.

My wife was trying to tell me a quick story and after the umpteenth time our kids interrupted her she said, “Nevermind, maybe we can talk again when they’re grown up,” and that about sums up being married with kids.

Today a kindergartener walking in a line told me, “Good job drinking water!” when he saw me drink water. The line kept moving and every kid after him echoed a similar comment.

“It’s healthy to drink water!”
“It’s important to stay high-dated!”

And so on.

My 3.5 year old daughter just looked up while eating a plain white slice of American cheese and said, “I’m glad we live in Brooklyn, daddy, no other city has cheese like this.”

My son has a zombie mask for Halloween but also would like me to paint his face like a zombie so that when he takes off the mask people are like, “whoa an actual zombie.” Oh also my son is afraid of zombies and doesn’t want to look in the mirror or take pictures on Halloween.

3yo: Why do we have a room just for the toilet and the bath?

Me: So people can have privacy when they’re going to the bathroom or taking a shower.

3yo: Why would someone want that?

I think I’m beginning to understand the root of much of our disconnect.
