so when i was 7 or 8 iâd âwrite letters to hermione grangerâ and set them out on the piano in the living room every night with my stuffed toy owl and every morning iâd have a letter from hermione back, sitting at the foot of my bed, and hermione and i corresponded like that for months and iâd just like to thank my mom for writing out a âletter from hermioneâ for me every single night
That is the cutest thing Iâve ever read oh my god
so when i was about the same age i got really into both ciphers and james madison (idk donât ask) so i just randomly started writing these letters like i was james madison writing to my own spy ring, using all kinds of ciphers. constantly writing that WE MUST SWITCH CIPHERS THE BRITISH ARE ON TO US. and it wasnât every night because the ciphers kept getting more complex, but it was about one every week for six months and my mother always responded. and she always found the letters, because i took to hiding them in increasingly more obscure locations because spies, obviously.Â
i didnât realize how much work this was until i snuck down late one night for a cookie. and saw my mother bent over my giant book of ciphers and muttering to the dog âis this another code or can she not spell?â (i could not and still can not spell) and i was a bit angry at first but i kept watching and she KEPT AT IT. checking everything in that book against my letter and i never felt so loved. my mom with a full time job sitting up to figure out my silly letters said just because i enjoyed the game.Â
i got her this bio of james madison a few years ago for xmas with a simple number substitution cipher on the inside saying âIn thanks for your dedicated years of service, your daughter and occasional President.â She still has it pride of place on her desk next to the obligatory kid pics
so yeah cute mom story for the day.Â
These are some of the best secret mom stories Iâve ever read, omg.
Peter Freuchen and his second wife Dagmar Freuchen-Gale, in a photo taken by Irving Penn in 1947. Freuchen is a top candidate for the Most Interesting Man in the World. Standing six feet seven inches, Freuchen was an arctic explorer, journalist, author, and anthropologist. He participated in several arctic journeys (including a 1000-mile dogsled trip across Greenland), starred in an Oscar-winning film, wrote more than a dozen books (novels and nonfiction, including his Famous Book of the Eskimos), had a peg leg (he lost his leg to frostbite in 1926; he amputated his gangrenous toes himself), was involved in the Danish resistance against Germany, was imprisoned and sentenced to death by the Nazis before escaping to Sweden, studied to be a doctor at university, his first wife was Inuit and his second was a Danish margarine heiress, became friends with Jean Harlow and Mae West, once escaped from a blizzard shelter by cutting his way out of it with a knife fashioned from his own feces, and, last but certainly not least, won $64,000 on The $64,000 Question.
Just when you start thinking youâve had a Real Life, you read something like this and⌠nope. Not even started.
Start before youâre ready. Just start. #bgsdlist
