  • Garbage Jenga

    Garbage Jenga

    We really felt for the people working at the kid party venue who were waiting to clean the room and had to watch the garbage tower grow more and more unmanageable.

  • You’re Scaring Him

    You’re Scaring Him

    I mean, once you have kids, you’ll wonder why you waited so long! (Even if only because you’ll imagine it would have been easier to handle when you were younger and more energetic in general.)

  • Persuasion 100

    Persuasion 100

    My kids have definitely figured out what kinds of things will motivate me.

  • Forget The Alarm

    Forget The Alarm

    To clarify: that’s not “me” in the comic – that’s not how I (outwardly) wake up. I got to hear this happen one day when one of my kids woke up to the usual school day alarm and decided to try this approach for dealing with it.

  • Party Crashers

    Party Crashers

    Maybe it seems weird to imagine attending a stranger’s birthday party and nobody realizing it, but especially for those younger kid parties: you might not have ever met any of the parents or the other kids. Fun fact: little kids can be hilariously bad at identifying people! Trust but verify.

  • How Old Were They?

    How Old Were They?

    Maybe I should have admonished my kid telling me to shut up, which wouldn’t usually be tolerated, but I (a) did feel bad about interrupting her and (b) was busy trying not to laugh in her face about the whole thing.

  • Stalk Photo

    Stalk Photo

    So imagine you’re at work while your spouse is keeping track of your children when an unknown number texts you a photo of one of your children without a clear location-identifying background or other people in it and no context.

  • Twin Day

    Twin Day

    The connections forming all the time in that little brain…wild.

  • Watch Your Language

    Watch Your Language

    There’s something amusing about kids pointing out a technicality like this while using this insult against a sibling with whom they share the same mother, and in front of said mother. Because there are some arguably larger linguistic/usage concerns I could bring up here.

  • Sorry, Bugs

    Sorry, Bugs

    Fun fact: what I call a “potato bug” is actually a “terrestial crustacean” in the family armadillidae – or maybe armadillidiidae. Or you can just call it a pill bug or roly poly.
