Nick Cannon is preparing for his twins' terrible twos the best way he can — with a sense of humor. "I got my belt out already! It's ready," he joked to Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 6, at the Stars and Strikes Celebrity Charity Bowling Tournament in Studio City, CA.

Here were a few more choice quips from the 32-year-old actor-singer, whose daughter (Monroe) and son (Moroccan) with wife Mariah Carey turn 2 April 30.

On who's the tougher parent: "Who do you think? Me! I don't play that!"

On when his kids can listen to his music: "When they can go to the club!"

On when they can start dating: "Oh, no, my son can date at, like, 3 if he wants, but my daughter, never."

The singer/actor also divulged his and American Idol judge Carey's TV viewing habits. "Idol. That's about it. [And] Real Husbands of Hollywood," his mock reality show for BET. "We TiVo [Idol]...and we watch it when we can watch it together," Cannon told Us. "My wife is a great critiquer. She's like, next time I'm going to do this, and next time I'll say this. She's critiquing herself as she watches it."
