Oh, if only there was some magical book out there that cracked the “kid” code of all the goofy stuff they constantly do that makes you scratch your head. I’ve compiled a list of the Top Ten things I wish they WOULD put in those parenting books:
- Why, after you spend your time washing, drying, folding, and separating into appropriate piles, why it always ends up on the floor/bed/chair/end table/desk… (That is, if they take it upstairs to begin with)
- Why are computers so fascinating to little ones? And why, oh why, must they bash on them (and other important items) like a drum?
- Why adding one little body into your big king-sized bed suddenly means no room for anyone to sleep?
- Why children have a fascination with stashing things instead of putting them away. Evidence here:
- Why is wearing food a “thing?”
- How do children have pinpoint laser-like accuracy to zero in on dad’s junk?
- Why paper isn’t an acceptable item to write on?
- Why, if it isn’t staring them in their faces, can’t they look for something themselves? Case and point – the Rotten Meat Van™ incident:
- Why are kids allergic to taking off their clothes appropriately?
- And last, but certainly not least..Why can’t they fall asleep somewhere normal. Like, in a bed?!
What would YOU add to this list? I can’t wait to hear it!
Despite their crazy stuff, I love it all. Every last second, including this one that seems just like yesterday. 
(And that your children will likely and simultaneously explode your heart from love and make you a lunatic.)
