Don’t judge other parents for lying to their kids unless you plan on telling your own child their drawing of a “rocket” looks like a flaming space dildo.

I asked my kids to make birthday cards for my husband. One drew a giant 48 when he’s only turning 43 and the other drew a tombstone-shaped cake that said “R.I.P.” so these should go over well.

Last night, my oldest drew a picture of a sun with a sad face. I asked him why the sun was sad and he said, "Because the moon was going to be here soon and the sun had to leave." It was such a deep thought.

Especially for someone who was eating his boogers as he drew.

— A Bearer Of Dad News🇬🇾 (@HomeWithPeanut) September 17, 2019

Daughter: dada I drew this for you!

Me: aww I love it!

Daughter: you DO love it : )

My 7-year-old drew me this beautiful, detailed picture of a butterfly and gave it to me in front of my 5-year-old. Without missing a beat, my 5-year-old grabs a pen and scribbles on the side of it and says, “It’s from both of us. You’re welcome.”

My 5yo made a drawing in the kitchen and my 9yo wanted to see it but didn’t want to get off the couch so she asked me to take a picture of it and show her.

People say she doesn't look like me, but my genes run strong.

Why use a coloring book when this ENTIRE house can be my canvas?!

My 7 yr old son drew a picture of an old woman.
I asked him who it was & he replied
“She comes into my bedroom to kiss me goodnight”
A chill ran down my spine then I remembered my mum is staying with us & it’s probably her.

My 5 year old came home with this sweet drawing with two stick figures holding a heart. It said THIS IS FOR YOU, and my own heart swelled. My baby drew for me!

Then he took the drawing from me and told me it’s for a girl in his class. I’m eating his dinner tonight.

Hope my kids never find out that I spend all 6 hours of their school day throwing away their art projects from the previous day.

— Ken Jennings (@KenJennings) January 26, 2016

I hold onto my kid’s art projects so that one day, many years from now, they can look at them briefly before tossing them in the garbage.

My kids were fighting over the remote, so I told them no more TV.

So my 6yo drew a TV on an Amazon box and made a remote out of a toilet paper roll.

And now they're fighting over the pretend remote.

Ah, the joys of siblings.

4 Year Old asked for her drawing to be kept with her other art work.
Didn’t want to be a bad parent and throw it in garbage, so I neatly folded it and threw in the recycle bin
