It’s 7am. I proceed to enter into a 30 minute long debate with my kid as to why she cannot keep her half eaten chicken bone (from dinner the night before) as a pet.

“But, mommy! I promise to kiss it and take it on all the walks!!”

No, dude. Just no.

…I feel like 70% of parenting is just constantly saying to yourself, “why is this even a thing?”
