Late Night Conversations with Dad
“Can you believe she said that?!”
From the other room, our little one pipes up, “You can’t say that after I’m in bed, Dad!” -
Planning for Events We’ll Skip
“Seriously, do we have to drive for two hours to a potluck with strangers? No thanks!” -
College Shenanigans
“Mom, what’s a keg stand?”
“Oh, it’s like a cake… on a stand, right?”
“And what about a bong?”
“Just a small drum, sweetie… now, who wants ice cream?” -
Parenting Disagreements
While my partner and I generally agree on parenting, there are moments of tension. We strive to keep our discussions private, but I feel bad when they overhear us. Sorry, kiddos; we’ll be more mindful. -
Sharing Secrets
“Promise you won’t tell your dad what I just said? I’ll give you a cookie!” -
Unexpected Sounds
There’s nothing quite like the horror of hearing your mother pass gas—especially for a young boy. -
Laughing at Their Antics
I often find myself chatting with my spouse about the cute or bizarre things our kids do, but I feel guilty when they catch us. “Time for bed, so we can discuss your latest adventures!” -
Mythical Creatures
I try to maintain the magic of childhood beliefs while prepping them for reality. My daughter recently asked if mermaids exist. I said, “Nope!” forgetting her brother was there. His reaction was priceless: “But we saw them at the aquarium!” -
First Impressions After Work
“Ugh, what a day! There’s mess everywhere, and I need a drink!”
Not exactly the warmest welcome home. -
Serious Topics
Explaining concepts like cremation, embalming, and even political figures can be daunting. It creates a real sense of worry for their future.
These are just a handful of the slightly cringe-worthy things my kids have overheard. I can only hope they forget the more awkward moments, like that time when my daughter thought we were fighting during a “wrestling” match. Trust me, honey, just forget that one.
