Married life isn't always bliss. Sure, there's lots of love, but it's supplemented by petty arguments over anything and everything, with some nitpicking in-between. These tweets about the reality of married life show just how much couples can get to each other when it comes to the everyday squabbles. But they also show the love within marriages too, so it's not all bad.

When you spend 40+hours in an office behind a screen, chances are that your coworkers will get on your nerves. Everyone has a bad day, whether it's because of work or stuff going on in your personal life, but societal norms dictate that we have to keep it together in the workplace and not lose our shit. Instead, it has become socially acceptable to become passive-aggressive, which is usually seen best in work emails. These phrases are ones that we can all attest to having used at some point in our careers and show how petty, yet professional you can be while still getting your point across. But here's what they really mean...
'Out of the mouth of babes' is a painful reality for most parents. But one of the best things about kids is their ability to call it as they see it, often leading to innocent but brutally honest comments after making an observation or being asked a question.
@livefromsnacktime is an Instagram account that documents these witticisms, started by NYC based Kindergarten teacher Alyssa Cowit. She believes that "children are honest and curious, and while often perplexed, they're brilliant – and that it's a teacher's job to take what children say seriously." Alyssa started the account — which now boasts 241k followers — "to help adults understand that children are not always acting outrageous to seek attention, but instead thinking out loud, soaking up new information, and solving problems 24/7!"
Check out the hilarious questions and comments made by hers and other teacher's students, who also submit to the account.
Let's just face it, there's a reason we aren't always 100% honest with our kids..
