Twitter is a source of many things, not all of them good. It can be angsty at best and a hell-hole of rage on its worst days. But we can't stay mad it, because it's filled with parents just like us, laughing so we don't cry. Welcome to this week's funniest parenting tweets. Take it away, Twitter...

My son saw me putting on concealer under my eyes and said, “why are you doing that?” I said, “It makes me look a bit younger and more awake.” He said, “But inside you’re old and tired?” And I said yep and he said “tricky!” with admiration
