I've been drawing comics about life as a dad since my son was born three years ago. I use it as a visual journal (that I ultimately want to gift to my kid!), where I try to capture a moment a day.

When I started this journey of parenthood, I had no idea what I was doing. And after three years, I still sort of have no idea what I'm doing... but I do know parenting is as tough as it is rewarding.

So if you're parent, kudos to you! And if you're not a parent, well then tell your mom or dad kudos to them! There are my favorite moments of toddler logic at its finest. Enjoy!

If you're interested, here you can find my 30 Comics Of Why I Think Parenthood Is Not For The Faint Of Heart and 10 Moments When I Realized My Toddler Owns My Life here on Bored Panda.

That is fair enough. The kid is learning to generalize from one situation to another.

My son went through a hillarious stage when we were teaching him how to give our dog a treat. He shouted everything in the same stern tone, like: BARKY! SIT! PAW! OTHER PAW! GOOD GIRL! EAT YOUR TREAT NOW! It took us a while to get him to understand how dogs react to different tones and volumes of speech. In the meantime, the dog would look at me during this as if to say "your puppy is shouting the good words, I don't get it", but she was happy with the treats!

toddlers... yell? and you have to raise your voice when you give a dog a command so they know that it’s directed at them? and this comic is displaying positive reinforcement, which is really, really good for animals.

    My dog does this also. I'll be reading a book and he'll drop a ball at my feet (we play a lot of fetch outside) and when I finally give him my attention he takes the ball and starts playing a game where he hides the ball under his bed the "finds it" and repeats the while process. But he keeps looking over at me to make sure I'm paying attention. Lol. He's really like a toddler in many ways.

    My little brother saw a black baby for the first time on tv (when he was like 3, now he's 6) and he asked what happened to the baby to make it change colours. He also opened the door while my mum was on the toilet once and saw her naked, then asked what happened to her penis (that's not the word he used but I can't remember what he called it); he thought it fell off

    At our house the rule was, whatever color bowl/cup is on top is the one you get, so they all have a turn. And I made sure that clean ones went on the bottom so that it was always a true rotation. It eliminated one source of petty complaints, at least. And I was soooo glad when my kids outgrew the "tattletale" phase!

    I've got a friend who is parents to three children and she takes a photo of every piece of art etc and prints it off and puts the photos in each child's individual art photo album. I think that's a great idea, they have a lovely folder in chronological order to keep forever and no one is upset when things have to be thrown etc

    If you listen, or before they can speak watch carefully, you will realize how much self-awareness many children have, although it hardly is comparable to the self-awareness of an adult (particularly before they realize that they are not "child's name" but "I").

    That's my middle kid, she'd start looking sad, and I'd ask her -Hey, what's wrong -Mom, I have a problem -What seems to be the problem? -I don't knoooooow (and then a whole lot crying).

    Very young human brains are amazing, they learn so much so fast. If an adult had to learn to walk, dress, speak not just a new language but the entire concept of language......

    Ouch. Stuff like that is why I'm not comfortable around kids. They will blurt out literally whatever's on their mind.

    I have a nephew about the same age, his little brother is only 7 months so no use talking to him much. But the first time the 6 year old ran up to me two days in a row, unsolicited, and said "you're my best friend!", that took away all the times he'd been mean!

    My boyfriend works all the time and I spend more time at home with his son. When his big was 5, we were getting ready to take him to the park so we can have some family tie together. Daddy: Are you ready to pay with daddy? Brat: No, I want to play with Aires. Daddy: Whatever. I felt so bad he hurt his dads feelings but it was funny lol

    It builds their vocabulary and helps them keep from having anxiety about you up and leaving them. And the answer to EVERYTHING asked a child is, "NO!"

    Doubt it. She's just letting him know what's going to happen, and "Do you want me to pee my pants?" was a joke. The kid's trying to get some control over his world (for heaven's sake, he's in a stroller), it's not "catering" to have a conversation about what's happening.

    I never ask my kids to go to the bathroom, I TELL them we are making a pit stop, and we are all going to try and use the restroom so we don't get five minutes down the road and they start whining they have to pee. It is non negotiable.

    Isn't this what parents tell their kids when they have to go?
