Not since the deliciously wicked Suri’s Burn Book has a blog so completely taken the social media world by storm.
The Honest Toddler is a scathing, brilliant, laugh-out-loud blog where the diabolical musings of a three-year-old toddler (who has the intellect of Einstein and the warmth of Idi Amin) are shared in a completely adult way.
Honest Toddler tweets from @HonestToddler. Here’s a taste…
You don’t need to be a parent to get a kick out of it. And if you are a parent this blog will confirm what you long suspected: we’re on their payroll.
This from Yahoo:
The best part is the posts are designed to be a de facto advice manual for parents to help them better serve their “beautiful, gifted children.”
“Maybe it will help to think about why you decided to become a parent. Most likely you were bored and looking for someone to serve. Now that you have the opportunity to make your life mean something, do your best. Wake up with a smile on your face and say this fourteen times, ‘Broken food is disgusting, when I serve it I look a little ugly,'” writes the little dictator.
Here’s an excerpt from a recent blog post the Honest Toddler wrote about the Super Nanny:
You walk around with that wool cloak looking like the manager of Hogwarts. I’m not scared of you. The day you come into my home expect Armageddon because I’m going to bring it. Nanny, you don’t know my life. You don’t know my situation. Were you at my birth? Are you my midwife? No. So you don’t know what I need.
Your turn now. If you were an Honest Toddler, what would you say?

Ok, I'm paranoid. This is the third time a comment of mine hasn't been published when I've not agreed with the prevailing sentiments of the article and comments.
This time I replied to Lucinda agreeing i don't find the honest toddler that funny. I won't say exactly what I said (and for the life of me can't understand why it wouldn't have followed the rules just like my previous AWOL comments) as it probably won't get up again. The gist (I thought) of my comment was that I wanted to find The Toddler funny but I couldn't and that humour is subjective... I would love to know what went wrong?
Hey Mandy,
We're still getting a little used to our new comments policy, sometimes things get stuck in spam etc.
Let me look into it for you

Hey thanks Lucy, that's all I need to know. I thought it might be a glitch :)
It's all good, I've seen ya Mandy! The other thing that bugs me is the photograph that has been chosen... it is cute, but the kid is about 18 months old, not 3. I think the honest toddler should have been between one and two years old for it to fit - a child that isnt speaking yet, like Look Who's Talking. 3 year olds have a voice already. If they aren't speaking by 3 they have speech/development problems.
Oh I love this. Reminds me of what Miss C said the other night while we were at ikea (tip, when you are in the middle of ikea there are no toilets, and no easy way out. It is a looooong way out)
Miss C: I want to go home
Me: hhhmmmmm yes just looking at a few more things
Miss C: No you are touching things. Stop touching things
Me: hmmmmm (absent mindedly fondling some nice fabric or other)
Miss C: STOP TOUCHING THINGS!!!!!!
Had me laughing all the way to the carpark
