Slight variations (dog's collar, I support my kids weird collections), but based on this list, I'd say I'm a successful 40-something.
Out of curiosity what weird things do your kids collect?
I have 2 kids. But between the two, we collect: Fans, scary jack-in-the-boxes, sprinklers, inflatables, and pencil sharpeners.
I'd fuck with a scary jack in the box collection that sounds neat as hell
You and your kids are cool.
He's 9 by the way. The line between cool mom and terrible parent is thin here. 😉
I do my best to walk that line, as well!
No such thing as a weird kids collection.
Whatever a kid is excited about is fuckin awesome man!
edit: as long as something isn't being unalived to add to the collection obvs
You mean killed?
Yes?
That's right. I made mine weird by keeping it into my adulthood. I regret nothing, except for a different weird collection that I believed I had grown out of.
