Day 3837

 Ahem. Re-orgs are not meant to be like tornadoes. Stop fuffing and start hiring. Me, specifically.

Day 3836

Uncertainty and access to the internet are a dangerous combo for a curious person.

Day 3835

 “I wasn’t yelling! I was just making my voice louder!”

Day 3834

 At what point do you just give up and admit that your living room is now permanently carpeted in playmobil?

Day 3833

 Discussing citizenship with the three year old, as one does. “Is it a big process?”

Day 3831

 We got verbal and written warnings today. The question is - what happens when we get a third strike?

Day 3830

Do please go on. I’d love to hear more about the adventures of Ar-Doo-Dee-Tow.

Day 3829

 Hello, Six!

You know it was a good choice when it gets opened before the Lego.

Day 3827

 Kids make dams; adults make a clear path for the water to flow.

Still so, so satisfying.

Day 3826

 The shortest list our boy will ever make: cakes he doesn’t like.

Day 3825

 It must be a good book if it sends you to Wikipedia to look up politicians who were assassinated the year you were born.

Day 3824

Banana: drawing slips of paper from a hat to choose the hills she will die on today.

Day 3823

The hardest questions the kids ask are not the ones I expected them to be.

Day 3822

 Relishing the one and only time I get to eat zebra pie…

Day 3821

 I wonder how people felt when refrigerators were new and were introduced into homes… and then eventually broke down. How long did it take people to trust these devices with their previous perishables? How did it feel when they had to go back to the root cellar?

Day 3820

Is your refrigerator running?


Then you better catch it!


Is a lame joke, but still better than a refrigerator that just stands there and fans itself.

Day 3819

 We’re trying that trick where you keep kids up late the night they lose sleep for DST, and then waking up and shovelling snow.

What could go wrong?

Day 3816

 One hundred thumbs up for cabbage?!?!

I mean, I love cabbage and all, but one hundred thumbs up for cabbage?!?!?!

Day 3815

 Only our boy could manage to spill water into his ear while trying to drink it in bed and then get so mad that his pillowcase was wet that he refuses to use pillows at all.

I wonder how old he will be when we have to explain the expression ‘cutting off your nose to spite your face’.

Day 3814

 Your mission, which you will obviously accept, is to set up the bear doing something cute at daycare. No, not that identical bear, that bear is sick and has to stay home.

Sunday, March 5, 2023

Day 3813

 I didn’t know until today that there was such a thing as having a face for slo-mo, but holy hell does our goblin ever have a face for slo-mo.

Day 3811

 Thanks for the awkward Cinderella kiss, my little weirdo.
