Opal just came up to me and said “which one do I like better? This pen with the pink furry ball and a unicorn attached to it…or this boring pink pen”At least that time I knew the right answer.

told the 8yo and his friend that they could play roblox on their ipads but only if neither of them used the words 'epic' or 'balls' and they freaked out because they knew such a thing was impossible

I introduced my 5 year old daughter to BRODYQUEST the other day. as I expected she absolutely loved it and wanted to watch it a dozen times in a row. over Christmas I saw her explaining the "plot" of the video to one of her cousins
this morning before I dropped her off for school she looked at me and said "Dad, is Adrian Brody real?"

I mean, Anthrax had riffs for days, were righteous, relatable, and wore fun shorts. Not to turn this into a debate in the kids' section, but if I were to swap out a big four member, I'd boot Slayer for Testament.

When mine was really into metal like six months ago, he loved metallica (he said he is going to get a metallica forearm tattoo some day), liked slayer but thought they were maybe too scary / serious, and hated joey belladonna and dave mustaine's vocals.
Now he just wants to listen to people rap about naruto on youtube

Opal's finally really into reading, and asking all the time "what's that mean" after reading things. The other day she says "There's a sign in our classroom that says Not Ice". Wife and I were very confused and spent minutes asking, is there usually ice? Are you sure that's what it said? Why would it say that.
Finally it hit me and I said "are you sure it doesn't say Notice:" and she says "NO, it says NOT ICE. N. O. T. I. C. E., not ice"
So I ask her if there's a space between the T and the I and says no.

Facebook memories resurrected this peach for me today, from when N was four and a half:
Popped in Sainsbury's to get some bits for tea."Why is daddy buying so many things? He said we just needed pizza and a pepper and now he has bread and all sorts of other things. He is such a dick."

Opal (age 6) came home today and decided to write some song lyrics. Says it’s not done yet. Yes we’ve been listening to the Ramones. Yes we are very proud.
text reads:
"I wana wana wana do it now!But I can't I wana wanawana dot now!!!!
But I can't yeahYeah I can't I just can'tI want to eat all the candy but I can't yeah yeah
I just want to play all the"
It ends there. She's still working on it.

third line should read "do it now"

ok this is annoyingly pvmic* i guess but as a kid i disliked that this guy was creating a monster on a slab and the eerie sight was when it came alive -- why was he building it if not to come alive!?
*also it belongs on the "according to me *i* said the darndest things as a kid" thread -- except i don't think i ever voiced this complaint till now
― mark s, Wednesday, 7 June 2023 10:16 (ten months ago) link
The eeriness is in that the monster, which the scientist previously thought to be under his control, rose of its own accord in order to engage in a dance craze.
