What’s the best way to cope with raising four young daughters? Well, if you’re a father with a great sense of humor (and some absolutely adorable offspring), you share your hilarious interactions on Twitter, of course.
That’s at least what comedy writer James Breakwell has done. And it’s working out for him because his Twitter handle, XplodingUnicorn (we’re already sold on the name alone) is taking off.
Among the endless tidbits Breakwell posts to his 314,000 followers are cute conversations with his kids, where they discuss everything from romance to politics to families to pop culture criticism – all tinged with their glorious prepubescent attitudes.
3-year-old daughter: A boy at daycare said he likes me.
Me: Do you like him back?
3: He colors outside the lines. He needs to grow up.

My toddler pointed at a Cheerio she dropped in church and said, "Come back."
I'm raising a Jedi.

One of the best parts about the tweets is that it’s obvious he’s not only a great father who adores his little girls, but that his daughters are actually really perceptive and intelligent. Like when he got out-logic-ed by his 5-year-old:
Me: You forgot to brush your teeth. They're going to fall out.
5-year-old: That's the point.
That tooth fairy story backfired.

His matter-of-fact conversations and examples of perfect kid logic make light of even some of the more frustrating moments of parenthood, like trying to stop a fight:
[kids screaming]
Me: What's going on?
3-year-old: She's drawing with my favorite color!
Me: What's your favorite color?
3: All of them.

He documents lots of different interactions on his page, from strangers to TSA agents to his (also hilarious sounding) wife. While they’ll all make you LOL for sure, the kid ones have that extra ingredient of loving adorableness that makes him really stand out.
Me: I feel like doing something fun.
5-year-old: You can't.
Me: Why not?
5: Grownups don't have fun. Grownups have babies.
