She said 'am I actually a monkey' and I told her only on Tuesdays. Now she's convinced that she turns into a monkey every Tuesday and keeps checking the calendar. Mission accomplished I guess? Pretty sure my wife is going to kill me when she finds out.
This is peak parenting. Getting to mess with their heads in harmless ways is honestly one of the best perks of the job. She'll laugh about this later.
This is hilarious. My daughter tried to convince me that something I said was real for like two weeks. Kids take everything literally at that age and it's both amazing and exhausting. Good luck explaining Tuesdays every single Tuesday.
Haha okay that's actually a good dad joke response. Now you're locked in though - you better have an explanation ready for when she asks what happens on Wednesday.
This made me laugh out loud. The commitment to the bit is strong with this one. Wait until she starts telling other kids that she's a monkey and they believe her.
That's hilarious and honestly a great memory for later. She's gonna remember that forever. Just wait til she tells you on Tuesday that she definitely felt different today.
Dude, you've created a monster! My daughter asked me the same thing after I made a joke and now I'm living the consequences every single Tuesday. Totally worth it though.
Oh man, this is peak parenting right here. At 3am when the baby won't sleep I'm thinking about stuff like this and it makes me smile.
My son believed stuff like this forever. I told him he had invisibility powers that only worked when nobody was looking. He tested that theory for weeks.

That's hilarious and now she's probably going to watch herself like a hawk on Tuesdays waiting for her tail to show up. Kids take the weirdest things literally.
