Chef Dad
Pretty much everyone has suffered through a night of tossing and turning, but when most people are having a hard time falling asleep, they often try to read, meditate, or do another low-effort, calming activity. Not this dad, though. He decided to a different route and went straight to the kitchen.
He figured he might as well be productive and do something useful with his time so why not make dinner at one in the morning? The only thing we can’t understand is why this kid right here keeps asking questions instead of going downstairs to munch on these lightly fried fish fillets.
Parenting Done Right
Let's face it, not all parents would have reacted like this to their kid getting detention, but we think when this mom came around, she had the best response ever. To be fair, it is absolutely ridiculous to have a teacher request this of their students, what could they possibly learn from this?
Kids, after all, want to push the boundaries when it comes to acceptable behaviour and as a result, this class clown reacted accordingly. Fortunately, their mom knew it too. Besides, how can you ground your kid after they made you and your entire office laugh with such audacity? This kid needs an award!
Throwing Punchlines
Let's face it, conflict is an inevitable part of life so while we are the last people to encourage violence, we totally understand this dad's point of view. Don't get me wrong, one of my favorite story tropes is when the underdog explodes into a righteous rage, but we certainly can't condone violence of any kind.
Giving good advice is the next best thing when it comes to standing up for your child, so while he can't fight his battles for him, he can advise him. So while we appreciate his dad's vigor here, it seems like his dad could use a session or two of anger management.
Spicemom
Very few questions about dinner will turn into a Spice Girls song, which upon reading these lyrics, makes us very nostalgic. Who needs friends when your mom likes the same music as you do? Seriously, I've been trying to get my mom to listen to our music since we were sixteen!
Not everything your mother does you is cool, but your playing along when you sing a Spice Girl song is pretty high up there. Plus, having pizza for dinner is also pretty sweet! Seriously, if you ever want to know how you can bond with your kids, it's through music and food!
Doug a Hole
Ah, autocorrect strikes again and this time it almost ruined Christmas and gave Melissa's mom a mini-heart attack. All Melissa was trying to tell her mom was that she was bringing her friend Doug to Christmas dinner and for some inexplicable reason, autocorrect couldn't handle that and instead sent a completely different text.
We'd like to think that Melissa's mom knew her daughter well enough to realize it was an autocorrect mistake, but it seems she isn't too familiar with the feature and its profound ability to ruin messages! Hopefully, Melissa explained it all to her mother and cleared any confusion before their Christmas dinner.
