Child: Daddy, why do owls stay up at night? Don’t they feel sleepy?
Dad: Because they are nocturnal, sweetheart. That means they sleep during the day

Mom: Time for a nap honey!
Moni: But I’m not sleepy! My eyes are just…blinking very slowly.
Mom: OK baby, no need to sleep. Just lie down and close your eyes for a bit, that’s enough.

Mom stood firm; arms crossed like a chocolate-free gatekeeper. Mom: “No more candy today.”Arya: “But Mommy, I promise I’ll eat my veggies… tomorrow

Ani: Mumma, I don’t wanna go to school today. Plzzzzzz. Mom (checking the clock): We’ve been over with this discussion, sweetheart.

Dad: Who used an entire jar of strawberry jam?! Tina (age 5): Not me! Tina: That’s just… gravity’s fault! Dad: There’s jam on the ceiling.
