10 Ways Toddlers Act Like Minions

Apart from a couple colds accompanied by sinus and ear infections, we’ve stayed pretty healthy this winter avoiding the stomach bug and strep that everyone seems to be talking about. That is until I woke up one morning last week to my daughter freaking out because she had thrown up in her bed. The last cold of the season (as I ordered it to be) had taken a sinister turn. Long story short, despite no fever or complaints of a sore throat I took her in to be tested for strep (she was positive). I had heard it was going around, but when I saw the CROWD of people at the doctor’s office I realized just how bad this season’s germs were. As we waited to be called…for 40 minutes…we watched The Minion Movie. And as I watched them talk gibberish, act clumsy, and laugh at silly things I had an epiphany…my children were minions. Here are 10 ways that toddlers act exactly like minions:

1. They speak gibberish. 
2. They lick everything. 
3. It’s not uncommon for them to be pantless. 
4. They laugh at silly things. 
5. They need to learn not to hit. 
6. They have temper tantrums. 
7. They’re clumsy. 
8. They can be annoying. 
9. They’re loud. 
10. They need to be loved.
