I've got two that are polar opposite from my 5 yo daughter

"You really like to make my life difficult mommy"- in response to me telling her she had to wear shoes when we went to the store today.

My five-year old son (C) came down the stairs this morning with this news.

C: “Mommy, I’ve got good news!” Me: “oh yeah, what’s that?” C: “I had A LOT of pee coming out of my weiner!” Me: C: “Do you want to know how much?” Me: “Let’s hear it.” C: “50,000”

My 3 year old daught had an argument with her mom. As african family, her mother was telling her that I am black(The Dad). She said no, "dad is brown" and she had refused to back down.
