I know, I know, everyone out there thinks I’m a paragon of parenting perfection. Thank you, thank you very much. But I have my MomFails just as much as anyone else does, and sometimes I even tell people about them.
There was the time we left Kiddo’s favorite stuffed animal Doggie at home when embarking on a week-long trip to California. There have been numerous occasions when we’ve gone out to dinner, only to find the diaper bag was missing some important equipment. And then… there are the ones I feel compelled to share with the Twitterverse.
Someday I'm going to have to teach my son that, unlike ferries and fishing boats, sailboats actually do not go "HONNNNK!" #headdesk #momfail

Oh dear. Kiddo combined a kids' book title with a phrase he, um, overheard and is now gleefully repeating "chicka chicka bow-wow!" #momfail

Turned on car radio. Kiddo said "This is Pumped Up Kicks!" If I could headdesk while driving I would have. #momfail

Oh well. At least I’m not alone.
