Say what you want, but folks finda dance different tonight. #JoeBiden #KamalaHarris

She ain’t ‘eem right. She’s lucky it was sweet tea. *Girl singing: These are her confessions...* #ConfessionsOfAKidWonder #LifeWithK

K: Mommy do you know how much I love you? Me: Ooooh. How much? K: My love for you is like a big town...like a building..a circus without the clowns. She out here spittin’ bars. I’ll take it. #ConfessionsOfAKidWonder #LifeWithK

“Mommy, you can borrow my car if you need more room for all your kids...” She got some nerve. #LifeWithK #ConfessionsOfAKidWonder

Me: The bananas in the freezer are for smoothies and ice cream making. K: Ice cream? You think you got the magic touch? Me: Sure do. K: Mommy. You know you’re my cooking assistant right? I’m the one with the magic touch. Me: Girl bye. K: #ConfessionsOfAKidWonder #LifeWithK

Sooooo she asked for a rabbit for Christmas... We went to the adoption agency today. Call me King Triton: What have I done? #ConfessionsofAKidWonder #LifeWithK

K: Mommy why was everyone so upset? Me: T supporters stormed Capitol Hill while Congress was counting the electoral votes. K: I thought we got a new President? Me: We did and they are not happy about it. K: Why can’t he just accept that he lost the privilege?! #LifeWithK
