Sebastian is my seven-year old and he says some of the funniest things–we have no idea where he gets his material since his mother and I are rather boring, serious people.
Sebastian’s birthday was back in August, and his mother and brother were both out of town. So, the morning of, the conversation went something like this:
Me: “What do you want for your birthday dinner?”
Seba: “I dunno.”
Me: “Well, would you rather go out for dinner?”
Seba: “OK”
A few minutes later…
Seba: “How about we just have leftovers and play poker all night?”
So we did. I’m not sure that was my best parenting ever.
Seba left alone with a selfie stick:

I let him get up early and then crushed him at the end….

Perfect parenting skills, although from what I understood the idea of playing poker all night came from Sebastian. He gets extra points, and his Dad should work a little harder on his parenting skills…. HA! 😉

Ha! Once I told my wife that we stayed up late playing cards, she did not question my parenting as much as my sanity!

Well it helped that his leftovers were the couple of slices of pizza from the night before!

Every single time I ask the kid what he wants for dinner, he says “Pizza”.

With my poker face on: that’s a matter of opinion. I’m sure it’s a birthday he’ll remember for ever. Great Dad (i.e. good parent…)

Thanks Katerina! There is no real “parenting guide”, so I am always worried I am doing the wrong thing!
