24 Of The Best Tweets From Parents That Perfectly Sum Up Life With A 5-Year-Old
We've scoured parent twitter looking for the best tweets from parents of kids of all ages. And some of these stories are downright ridiculous. Here's the highlights of life with a 5-year-old, as tweeted by the parents themselves.
1. Clever
My son came downstairs with a box of toys from his room. "Maybe we can donate these to kids that don't have toys," he said. For a 5 year old, he's pretty generous. "Then maybe we can go to Target after & I can fill the box with new toys." For a 5 year old, he's pretty ingenious.

My 5 year old asked me if elephants were extinct. I said of course not, we saw them recently at the zoo. "I know," he said, "but that was weeks ago. Maybe they went extinct while we slept? Have you seen one today?" I had not seen one today. I conceded. This was my 6 AM.

I’ll admit, it’s an angle I hadn’t considered.
