That's not bad, I was thinking about something more like this though:

My 9 YO requested the Brazilian steakhouse for her birthday dinner today. Halfway through dinner she proclaimed “I’m a monster. I love lamb.”

 

When my daughter was younger, she called meat "super hero food". My vegetarian wife was not amused.

 

Last night my 14 year old son got up off the couch walking off disgusted and said, “fuckin make a tackle” as Brockermeyer got trucked by Daniels in route to a rushing TD.

Love that kid.

Having a conversation with my wife in the kitchen last night and she mentions we are out of big batteries.  
I ask her are you talking about C's or D's.
From the living room, the 9 yr old boy yells out  "Deez Nuts!"

I went and gave him a high five.

This one may be super tame compared to most of yall’s spawn but my almost 5yo boy was playing with his toy doctor kit and I was telling him the names of things

Me-Stethoscope, Scalpel, Tweezers, Blood Pressure Cuff…

Boy-”No!”

Me-Yes, that’s a Blood Pressure Cuff

Boy-”No, it’s a cheese pocket” 

At pick up today, I asked my 9YO daughter to point out her friend’s dad. She pointed to a crowd and said “He has the punchable face.”

100% chance she got that phrase from her mom.

I'm trying really hard... but I got nothing on a cheese pocket.

LB: Alright

We are playing 911/police officer.

 

4yr old daughter:  “Officer dadda, someone stole my backpack with my stuffies in it!”

Me: “ Oh no, don’t worry Ill help. What did the bad guy look like?”

daughter:  “He was brown with a hat”

Me: “………..uhhhh……brown…how?”

daughter: “He had a brown hat!!”

Me: “(oh, thank God) No worries! Officer Dadda is on the case!”

Too late... She's gonna frame the browns.

9 YO at dinner: “Mom is acting like a lil fucker.”

Me: “we don’t talk like that regardless of how your mom talks.”

9 YO looking confused and then slowly: “I said Lord Farquaad.”

I don’t know if I believe her.

That would have gotten me punched in the face at 9.

Kind of hard to do anything when their mom drops about 50 “fucks” directly at the kids each day.

My 6 year old just said “Daddy isn’t that funny, an ad inside an ad!”  to that direct tv/Wonder Woman/Serena Williams ad. I just said sure son, sure.

Drove my 15 YO and a couple of her friends to the Domain.

On the way one said “it’s like that book about the kids on the island that turn into cannibals.”

Other kid “I think it was called Gilligan’s Island.”

Norm?

Stopped at sonic, 5yo says she wants a cheeseburger, then says, “if they don’t put cheese on it, I’m gonna call them fers (she has learned she can’t says fuck)”

When playing Dr. my daughter calls the patients “customers” 

Also, for some reason my 4yo daughter is under the impression that one day her mom and I will grow smaller and become babies like she was and she will care for us. I have no idea who told her that but it’s been pretty hard to convince her the world works otherwise

Well, aside from the getting younger and smaller...if she's a good girl she more than likely will be taking care of you.

Visiting family in Arizona and hiking through the mountains with them the other day when my youngest sister stumbles and scrapes her knee. It’s not bad just needs to be washed and have a little rubbing alcohol put on it. As we’re bandaging her she says “well at least this is better than psoriasis.”

Doomlet gave himself a tattoo yesterday - "eat your blood" with a scary face. 

He then offered me a tattoo, so of course, I accepted, if for no other reason than to discover whatever other fucked up things he might come up with. 

"give me your poop" and "poop your pants"

Today I learned that the Titanic sank because someone woke up a mummy. 

Also, Doomlet told me the other day that he's going to carry a dinner fork with him on Halloween next year to defend himself from zombies.

He should also take a pumpkin knife. You know, just in case the demon gourd comes to life.

4yo Daughter: “ok daddy, you need to call me on the phone and tell me there is a bad guy and you need supergirl to help you and if she didn’t hurry the bad guy will get away and you are scared. Ok? Ok, call me now dadda.”

Me: “ring, ring, ring”

Daughter: “hello?”

Me: “help supergirl we need you, there is a bad guy and I am scared, please help!”

Daughter: “No, I’m busy” *click* and walks out of the room.

Mrs. Doom's parents brought their Boston Terrier over to our house for Christmas dinner. 

At one point later on in the evening when all of the adults were just kind of sitting around in a stupor, Doomlet casually sauntered up to me and whispered in my ear, "I was just looking at the dog's butthole. Don't tell Mom."

Fascinating, the boy has already chosen a career path. Say hello to Dr. Doomlet, future proctologist!

Interesting boy you're raising there, Doom.  Interesting indeed.

Not going to have to tell mom anything, the pink eye will give him away.

Me: “it’s been quite in there for a while, what are you up to?”

4yo Daughter: (nervously) “Dad! Hi! I just had my new makeup kit I got for Christmas and was……..doing nothing…”

We have in-floor heating registers in our house. 

Doomlet has begun squatting over them whenever he needs to fart in order to spread the good tidings throughout the room. 

Also, he got a blank journal for Christmas. Here's the table of contents for the book he's writing.

My 6 YO took ski lessons for 2 days, and on the 3 day was fearless on the mountain...

6 YO: Daddy, I'll see you at the bottom.

(When I finally catch up)

6 YO: Daddy, what took you so long? Was it because of your knee? It doesn't matter because I'm now the best skier in the family.

 

My 6 YO again...

Mom: Daddy's going to stay with you until you fall asleep.

Boy: I don't want him because he snores really loud. And he drools. Last time he drooled into my ear, and it was like a swimming pool. Then it washed the earwax into my brain.

My daughter breaks containment and runs to our bedroom to jump on our bed. It’s brand new so it’s been a bit of a battle between us. 
 

twin 4 yo sister while sitting on the couch with me:  “Go Abby! Go! Go!!”

*looks at me, pauses, smiles*

”dammit”

 

suddenly, I’m the one in trouble.

Didn't want to start a new thread but. 

My oldest has a one year old. In mid 20's - The three of them are going through the normal mid 20's with a kid problems. Not enough money. Not enough time.

Been going back and forth about paying off her truck for her. Part of me is like - yeah that would really help them. Other part of me is like "let them grow up. They're doing a hell of alot better than I was at that age. don't interfere with it"

I took the afternoon off with just me and the 2.5 yo girl. She smashed her finger and was crying and asked me to kiss it better. Afterwards she was all smiles and laughs. I wish it always stayed this easy....

Doomlet is allowed to play games on Mrs. Doom's old phone for two 15 minute periods per day. We're fairly involved in making sure that he only plays games that have a bunch of downloads (i.e., let others be the early adopters in case of malware, etc.), that don't have in-app purchases, aren't violent in nature, and don't have in-game communication between players. 

He just showed her some level achievement or whatever that he was proud of, and then the game cycled to the high score board, at which point she was alarmed to see that one player in the game was called "Fat Cat Poop In A Jar" and worried that maybe this game wasn't appropriate for him. 

... 

As I'm sure that regular readers of this thread have already anticipated, Doomlet's screen name in that game is none other than Fat Cat Poop In A Jar.
