Watching Jigglypuff make their rounds again during these trying times feels tragically appropriate.

Stay safe, comrades. Do not go gentle into that good night.

Test printed my first two-color screen print! 🤘🔥

#screen printing #technically my second #if we count my first silk screen print when I made a stencil on vinyl with my cricut #and proceeded to align my screens on the floor of my kitchen using only my knees and raw unbridled willpower #I owe so much to my past self for fearlessly going balls to the wall on a quest that was clearly bigger than she was #and now we're here #trying again #not much wiser #but certainly better equipped and a little less fearful of trying #let yourself suck at stuff!#it makes the journey more rewarding #and the story a little funnier sometimes lol #hail skatin

Some well deserved snoozles

Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a “Lego winner” behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for “trophy”, he’d extrapolated a word for “thing you can win”. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, “Mummy? It’s not rubbish. It’s allowed to be a bottle.” - meaning, effectively, “I want this. Don’t throw it away.” But to an adult ear, there’s something quite lovely about “it’s allowed to be a bottle,” as if we’re acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.

Another good post to read for those writing small human characters.

My son was about three when he came to me in the middle of the day and said, “Mommy, there’s a knight behind the bush.” I thought he meant a toy knight or something. So I follow him outside and he goes, “Listen. Do you hear it? It’s night behind the bush.” It was a cricket. A cricket was standing in the little patch of shade under the bush, chirping. So, my son saw this dark area with accompanying nighttime sounds and decided, okay, well, that is a night right there. Their brains are incredible.

My little bean knows she’s two, constantly saying proudly ‘I’m two!’ And the other day she saw this very frail old lady who looked one foot in the grave, pulled a face and said ‘oh shiiiit. She’s three.’ I almost screamed.

I live in Korea and have a lot of international friends, and the same is true with language barriers in adults.

*Looking at a bowl of pears* “Can you please pass me the… apple’s friend?”

Oh my favorite language based one was back when I was still in law school I was talking to this old Japanese man one time and he called me a “lawyer egg” instead of a law student and I still think about that turn of phrase

I’ll never forget a time when I was on the bus and there was this little girl about 3 years old sitting at the front with her dad, when a woman got on the bus with a baby in one of those sling wrap carriers. The little girl noticed and immediately said in the loudest, most excited whisper “Daddy! She has a baby purse!”
