Poll: What Household Object Has Taken on New Importance

🔥

What random object has become weirdly important in your house lately? Not the expensive thing. Not the thing you carefully researched.

The completely random thing your kid decided was suddenly the center of their universe.

I’ve been spending a fair bit of time with my grandson and I’d say tissue paper is currently high on the list. However, when my kids were younger, it would have been cardboard boxes. I’m convinced kids (and let’s be real, cats) see a cardboard box and immediately think:

“Yes. This has potential.”

What about your house?

Drop your answer because honestly, these comments are usually the best parenting reality check on the internet.
