My youngest daughter claims that the “good thing about having a sibling is always having someone to finish the lyrics,” which is sweet, but apparently accuracy is optional and volume is not.

Daughter asked how she did in her middle school swim meet and I told her she did great but looked a little tired in her last event when she stopped me and said, “Yeah, but did I look good? It was picture day.” Guess we can cancel that booking for the 2032 Olympics.

I told my kid if she won’t eat what I pack for lunch, she has to pack it herself. She walks to the cupboard, takes out the same package of snacks she’s been rejecting for months, and puts it in her lunchbox. When I asked why she’d eat it this time, she looked at me like I was the crazy one. I quit
