My Kid Asked Me Why I Was So Tired

My 6 year old asked me this morning why I look so tired. I told him it's because I'm not sleeping enough. He said 'Why don't you just sleep more?' WELL KID if it were that easy I wouldn't have dark circles the size of basketballs. Wife actually laughed at that one which means I'm winning parenting today.

This is what I have to look forward to. My baby girl's only 3 months old but I'm sure she'll be asking me the hard questions soon enough.

Out of the mouths of babes, right? With three kids I hear this kind of thing constantly. The funny part is knowing it makes perfect sense to them but zero sense to us exhausted parents.

Haha, that's the most logical thing a 6 year old has ever said. My 7yo would probably just shrug and go back to whatever she was doing. Kids say the darndest things when they nail you with actual reason.
