IO (they/them)π³οΈββ§οΈβ¨οΈMy 6 year old kid: You are beautiful. I will give you diamonds..
*Me thinking WTF?*
6yo: "... a full set of diamond armour. Because you are so beautiful and nice."
*Me thinking ah, okay, now I reckognise my kid again*

β6yo and I built bag one of Lego City 60439 Space Science Lab! Props to Lego for the wheelchair Minifig. Unfortunately bags 2-4 will have to wait for the 6yoβs attention span to recharge.
My 6yo has cracked the code of why Scooby Doo and the gang never get caught or hurt by the bad guy: βtheyβll never get gotten. Theyβre good at dodging. And running.β
My 6yo is trying to sing O-C-T-O-B-E-R to the tune of Hot To Go and it is very amusing as they can neither spell nor sing π
Showed my 6yo "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves".
Later, mom asked what they were watching.
6yo: "Seagulls and Dragons!" π
Andresjogged alongside/behind the #6yo while she biked (at like 5mph), and I reeeally wish I'd worn a mask
A week after that, my wife told me, "I said I wouldn't tell you, but [the #6yo] told me that she keeps switching the labels on the bins. To mess with you."
When I finally lose my marbles, I just want this story in the public record.
Speaking of, I'm supposed to be on my way to Boston right now. But the #6yo threw up at school, so.. yeah. Remember parents: never make plans.
Happily the Amtrak tickets were refundable.

@[email protected] No, but I had moved from Boston a few years earlier and had lots of friends there still.
I'm explaining to the #6yo that she can't just go around randomly calling people; that's not what younger generations DO. That's only for older generations (50+ years old). She needs to message first, at least.
She found this upsetting and just wants to call. So hey, maybe that'll make a comeback after Gen Z?
The #6yo found an eye on her shirt as I was brushing her teeth at bedtime. She stuck it on my forehead. I made a mental note to take it off after she was in bed.
I forgot.
Then I went out to the grocery store like this. No one said anything. Maybe because I was wearing a kf94 mask already (although I wasn't the only one there masking; even one of the checkout people had a kn95 on)? Not a peep from anyone over the course of an hour. That's #NYC for ya.
My wife laughed at me when I got home.
