When Your Child’s Honesty Comes in Haiku Form

Last night, our 7-year-old surprised us with a haiku she wrote for her school project. The last line? "Mom annoys me sometimes." We couldn’t help but laugh at her honesty and creativity. Parenting is full of these moments—when your child’s candid thoughts catch you off guard and remind you that they’re always watching, always feeling. It’s a little humbling, but also heartwarming to see her express herself so openly. We talked about how everyone in the family can get on each other’s nerves sometimes, and that it’s okay to share those feelings. Have your kids ever shared something unexpectedly honest?
