Put that climbing talent somewhere safe and supervised, book here: https://www.rawkidsgymnastics.co.uk/locations

You said one mild swear word in 2021 and your child has been saving it for the worst possible moment ever since.

Grandma's house. A quiet shop. The school gate. They've been waiting, patiently, like a tiny comedic sniper.

Your child will tell a complete stranger they love them and tell you that you're "not their best friend anymore".

The betrayal arrives daily, usually before breakfast. You made their entire dinner. You are nothing to them. The man at the till is everything.

Your toddler will sprint head first into a wall and laugh, then weep because their banana broke in two.

You haven't truly lived until you've negotiated with a tiny dictator over the colour of a cup.

The blue cup is wrong. The red cup is wrong. The blue cup, now offered again, is suddenly correct and always was. You did not survive this exchange, you merely escaped it.

Channel that ferocious will into something useful, book a trial here: https://www.rawkidsgymnastics.co.uk/locations
