What are the best phrases you never thought you’d have to say?

@kaylank92 My son would get up onto any elevated surface he could, jump off, and be super bummed out that he couldn't fly.

One day at the park, he got onto a bench, jumped, gravity did it's thing and he landed perfectly on his 2 feet, all to his dismay.

"Dad."
"Yeah bud"
"I can't fly"
"That's a bummer bud. Sorry"
"Stupid birds"
"Yeah. Stupid birds"🤔
 
@kaylank92 I promised myself I’d never say “because I said so!” Hated hearing that as a kid and it was never a good enough reason for me. Cut to: me saying that in every other possible combination of words besides “because I said so!”
 
@kaylank92 For some reason when my kid was very young I got really into taking her Elmo plushie and doing a pretty flawless impression where I’d say “Elmo become cruise missile” and I’d launch it at her.

It turned into all kinds of violent scenarios. “Elmo become death, destroya of worlds,” or “Elmo cause nucleah wintah” or “Elmo do carpet bombing on civilian centah.”

The kid never reacted much but my wife and I found it highly amusing.
