This dad’s tweets about Halloween with his young daughters are brilliant
Comedy writer James Breakwell, also known as @XplodingUnicorn, is a very popular guy over on Twitter, largely due to his hilarious tweets about family life, mostly involving his four young daughters. In a series of recent tweets, James has illustrated some of the challenges brought about by Halloween.
Here are eight of them for you to enjoy.
1.
4-year-old: Can I wear my wizard costume today?
Me: No. You’ll ruin it before Halloween.
4: I'll use magic to fix it.
Checkmate.

4-year-old: How come we only trick-or-treat on Halloween?
Me: People won't give you candy on other days.
4: Have you tried?

Me: I'm heading to the grocery store.
6-year-old: Why? We're about to get Halloween candy.
Me: You need other food, too.
6: Maybe YOU do.

My 2-year-old won’t go down the stairs
She's terrified of the jack-o-lanterns at the bottom
I know what I'm putting around my bed tonight.

I had to make a new rule today:
No killing curses in front of Grandma.
Raising muggles must be so much easier.

I make my kids put their candy one communal bowl.
I don’t care if they share with each other.
I just want it to be easier for me to steal.

And if you thought that it was just Halloween that caused mayhem in the Breakwell household, James also had this to say, “My daughter’s lip is bleeding. None of her sisters know what happened. At least they know the first rule of Fight Club.”
