12 Things Only Parents Of Toddlers Will Understand
Little people take a lot out of a person...
Any parent will tell you that children are a blessing. They’re God’s gift to your life in more ways than any childless person could ever understand. Toddlers in particular have a way of bringing light to any situation. They’ll laugh for any old reason and think their parents are the best thing since Barney The Dinosaur, they make the cutest faces when they suck on their first lemon and try to run away from their own shadows. All in all, toddlers are great fun.
However like all good things in life, it must come to an end. Your little angel will have days when he/she turns into a demon that will destroy anything they get their tiny little hands on. Valuables will become playthings; the dog will turn into a pony and your house will resemble a nursery school after a hurricane.
Despite the ups and downs, you are still convinced that your munchkin is the cutest, most stunning boy or girl the world has ever seen and if any other brat had to hurt them, it’d be on like Donkey Kong. You’d kill for your little monkey, even if they make you want to tear your head out of your skull.

You know the intro tune of every toddler TV show that’s being aired and you’ve even subconsciously chosen your favourite and least favourite ones.
And of course, you wouldn’t dare change the channel – you wouldn’t want the King or Queen to have a tantrum again.
