I was listening the whole time. The whooooooole time. Which was a really long time. I swear was listening, though! I’m not saying I didn’t run my hand through my hair or rub the bridge of my nose to help focus, but I was totally confident I could pass the “what did I just say?” test with all the flying colors of the wind.

I totally understood, because KIDS. And we laughed our metaphorical asses off when she finally stopped motor-mouthing and said the quote above.

There are just times in parenting when you wind up solely in the company of kids, or alone for a god long while. And though it’s a great parenting move to treat kids like people (small, random, weird people of course), it doesn’t make them your intellectual peers. So, when someone’s spent a long time alone or surrounded by miniature humans, like some castaway babbling frantically to his rescuers, they can talk the ears of any larger human they happen to come into contact with.

I’m always fine with being that larger human, because KIDS.
