The Wonderful and Wacky World of Toddler Logic
Welcome to the arena of toddler logic, where ‘Why?’ isn’t just a question—it’s a state of mind. Remember when the most intense thing you did all day was decide between Netflix shows? Now you're defending your decision to not allow cookies for breakfast and flashing back to your own childhood rebellion—on repeat. And WHOA! Don't we all know, "Because I said so," is yesterday's news?

Navigating Tantrums Like a Diplomat
Ah, tantrums. They're as inevitable as random singing from the shower or your cat's impulse to knock things off the table. But listen, with every diplomatic negotiation, you're actually learning to master the art of patience. So, the next time your mini-you bursts into spontaneous tears because their banana is too banana-y, indulge in a silent chuckle. You’re practically a UN ambassador now, fully equipped with the power of distraction and the patience of a monk.
Tantrum Translation: "My logic is impeccable, Mother, but your banana-peeling skills need improvement."

And through their eyes, you can rediscover the world’s wonder and humor. Stayed up too late binge-watching? You still have superhuman powers. Zombies only wish they could hit your caffeine-fueled energy levels—embrace it, own it, and dance in those tire-tracks on life's joyful plaza.
