Learning how to tease someone gently, so that no one feels like the butt of a mean joke and everyone is willing to laugh, is a skill that takes time – and one that most of us learn from watching our parents.
Then comes the day when we turn those skills around on our parents, and I’ve got to think that’s it’s a day filled with a mixture of pride and annoyance.
You know, like most days of parenting.
These 10 kids have reached that hilarious milestone, so I hope their parents are celebrating!
10. Bless.
I cannot stop laughing at this, possibly forever.
9. Honestly this is a solid strategy.
I might try it out later today.
8. Don’t go crazy!!
Oh my goodness this is amazing.
7. She’s got her glass of wine and everything.
A very realistic artist rendering I would guess.
6. She’s better at math than spelling.
But she’s great at making you laugh.
My daughters math test today made me realize we may need to focus a little more on spelling. #birdfamily #mommyprobs pic.twitter.com/sLDkINmoUJ

Don’t try to shortchange her.

I don’t even know what to say about this one. Ha!

3. You can read the explanation if you want.
But it’s honestly funnier if you don’t.
2. She has weaponized her toys.
They might have a supervillain on their hands.
Me: "Why are these Legos all over the floor?!"
5: "To keep everyone else away; it's my computer turn."
BRILLIANT. pic.twitter.com/d198v0U8FX

1. It’s probably true.
Kid has not trouble with self-esteem!
I honestly can’t wait until my kids are old enough to tease and have them get it.
