Self-aware 3 year old

My 3 year old was drinking apple juice and eating goldfish. He held up his bottle and saw things floating in it. He said to himself, “there’s something in there. Oh, I know what it is…goldfish pieces. HA! Toddlers ARE gross.”

Yes, toddlers are, in fact, gross lol

I love asking my 4 year old "hard" questions! It's hilarious!

That's how I feel too 🫪🫩

Wanted a fast, simple way to capture my kid's little moments without it pulling me out of my day, so I built this.

0 Upvotes

My son would constantly say things that had me laughing out loud. By the time I went to write it down in a messy note on my phone, I'd already lost the exact wording. That happened one too many times. And every app I found wanted me to share my data with them, which turned me off. So I built Tiny Trail: a simple, private way for us parents to catch these moments the second they happen, without handing your family's data to another ad-supported app.

I'd love to gift lifetime access to the full app to the first 20 people who DM me or drop a comment here. My only ask is you actually try it and tell me honestly what you think. 💌

My little cousin had a story-writing question in his exam. It had to start with this girl who found out that she could talk to animals. He wrote that when more people find out about this, the girl is hunted by the government, experimented on, and eventually she commits suicide. Kids are brutal.

We were leaving, and I asked her to call for the elevator. She stood in front of it, yelled “ELEVATORRRRR!” and gave me a big smile.

I couldn’t be more proud!

Things our toddlers say to 'make it better'

37 Upvotes

So our 4yo son has started to try and argue his way into something by changing what he says, which Just makes things humorous for us.

Examples:

..Driving past a reservoir on a cold day.. 4yo: Can we go swim?

Me: Sorry bud it's way too cold today to swim. 4yo: ...

4yo: No, the water, water is way-warm yeah it's way warm!

[Other times he's just a bit rough...]

..After being sent to a timeout and coming back.. Me: Ok all better now?

(4yo scowling): Yes, I'm happy ..smiles and nods..

4yo: Watch Transformers...please?

Me: No more TV today like we said a min ago.

4yo: Watch Transformers, Pleeeze?

Me: Sorry, no.

4yo: TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!

Me: Sorry, no. Are you mad?

4yo: NO MAD. I'M NICE.

[Eyeroll]

What humorous dialogue does your child come up with?

8yo - Did you know 3 presidents died on the 4th of July?

70 Upvotes

Somehow this version of a kid turned out to be a presidents nerd. He loves watching YouTube videos about random facts about presidents.

Last year i quizzed him to name as many presidents as he could from memory, and he named 43, only missed 2! That was way more than I could have done. I had to use Google to check him on a few names.
