Parents know that kids have too much energy to make their lives boring. Your child might get upset because their gloves don’t fit on their feet, or they might take all the money from your wallet and cut it up like a salad. And as the saying goes, “If we don’t laugh, we cry.” So we might as well laugh about it.

2. “The fastest thing in the world. Opening this hand will have you questioning your own strength. ”
