Asking for a friend. “A neighbour is trying to sing by trying I mean strangling a cat. They sound very drunk and I think a son who doesn’t live there is joining in. There is building work going in across the road. I’ve hardly slept would it be acceptable to scream STFU?”

An actual conversation with my 5 year old.

A “do pigs make milk”
Me “no, cows make milk”
A “what do pigs make?”
Me 🤔🤔 “pigs make bacon”
A “I don’t like bacon”

5mins later
A “what do crocodiles make?”
Me, speechless although I want to say belts

I’m a terrible person
