Aldi is releasing both a monster jam and a Pokémon advent calendar. Guess what each kid is really into right now? Find me standing in line waiting for Aldi to open next Wednesday, peak middle age shit

Also also my children will not stop talking about a trunk that had a skeleton sitting on a toilet and you had to reach into the toilet to get your candy. That one left a profound impression on them.

Also say what you will about southerners being fake nice, but I (knock on wood) have never had a problem with anyone giving my autistic kid a hard time for forgetting to say trick or treat or for having to be prompted to say thank you

I love that millennial parents still have whimsy. I saw so many families tonight where the parent clearly let the kid pick what they wanted to be and then the parent matched them. Also I am biased because Leo is pikachu and I’m Ash. Damian is a monster truck and Jairo is a driver.

I made the kids lunch and Leo whined that he didn’t want to eat lunch at home, he wanted to go to a restaurant.

This is the monster I created by taking them out every weekend 🫠

left wing intellectuals on having kids: wow look at all these little joys, i am gonna make a special scrap book of why the family matters...omg is this conservativism?

right wing intellectuals on having kids: look we have to start getting teens pregnant if we're gonna outbreed all the undesireables

Me when I see a trunk or treat advertised for any other day: Oh yay maybe we should take the kids

Me when I see a trunk or treat advertised for the 31st: FUCK YOU YOU’RE THE REASON HALLOWEEN IS DYINGGGGGG

STOP HAVING TRUNK OR TREATS ON THE 31ST AND GO TO YOUR FUCKING NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE AND SHAKE THEM DOWN FOR CANDY

Cherry airheads still taste vaguely like plastic and/or lipstick. Good.

“I’m excited for the trick or treating vibes and the nostalgic joy, not for the candy itself,” said me, eating an airhead and a KitKat from this last week’s trunk or treat stash.

Wow not even one like… this might be the first time I’ve ever had a truly unpopular opinion

Aladdin (2019) is a really fun movie and I’m tired of pretending like it isn’t.

No one cares but my toddler finally pooped in the toilet and it is a momentous occasion in this house

Definitely thought spirit week was tomorrow and not next week so almost accidentally got ready to send my kid to school in pajamas when it is not pajama day.

I’m so irritated by trunk or treats being advertised as a “safe” Halloween. This is why there’s no community anymore. I’m not against them and do take my kids to them in the week leading up to Halloween, but the 31st is for proper trick or treating
