I’m a big fan of reenactment archaeology. I think there’s a lot to be said for recreating a scenario to better understand decisions made in generations past. Usually there’s an inherent logic to them.

Which is to say, that now that I have a baby of my own, I understand so much better the common cultural practice in which unmarried women wear their hair loose and uncovered, while married women have their hair covered and/or bound back.

I doubt it was just for modesty, oh no. No, my friends, I see now that the reason for this common practice of mothers binding back their hair is because there is nothing, I mean nothing, a baby love more than YANKING EVERY STRAND OF HAIR THAT COMES WITHIN GRABBING DISTANCE OF THEIR STICKY, SWEATY, AND IMPOSSIBLY STRONG LITTLE HANDS.

"I said no."

"Mom!"

"I said no, Yuji."

You tried to hold his hand and keep walking, but he yanked it away. He was screaming and crying in the middle of the grocery store, and you were doing your best to stay patient. He couldn't always get his way. He had to learn to take "no" for an answer.

"I want this!" he shouted even louder, grabbing the chocolate from the shelf.

You let out a sigh as you looked at him.

"You've already had chocolate today. No more, okay?"

You managed to take the chocolate from his hand and put it back on the shelf. Ignoring the fact that he was hitting and screaming, you lifted him into your arms.

"Mom! You're so mean!"

"No. I'm a good mom because I'm thinking about what's best for you."

Crying, he reached his arms toward his father and said, "I don't love Mommy!"

Your heart clenched at his words, but you knew he was only saying it because he was angry.

"Yuji-"

He ignored you, burying himself in his father's arms instead.

"Shh, that's enough whining, brat.'"

As you walked ahead, browsing the aisles, you had no idea Sukuna had quietly slipped the same chocolate into the shopping cart. Sukuna knew he'd be in trouble once you got home, but this time, he couldn't help siding with his son.

And he loved breaking your rules.

When Yuji noticed what his father had done, he excitedly opened his mouth to say something, but Sukuna raised a finger to his lips, silently telling him to keep quiet. The little boy giggled and returned his father's wink, the two of them already sharing a secret.

Sometimes I’m amused at how different my kiddo is from me. Today’s example is that she really likes horses, specifically the scene from Frozen 2 where the water horse is trying to murder Elsa.

Kiddo is 4 years old, and as such there is no punctuation that can adequately convey their dynamic vocal range, and so emojis will have to do.

For those unfamiliar with Frozen 2, Elsa (with her ice powers) attempts to cross the sea, in which lurks Nokk, the water horse. It’s a very thematic and scary scene, but the horse never actually gets named in the movie.

“Elsa’s horse name Posy ☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️” my child explains.

“Posy 😀” my darling murmurs happily as the water horse appears, charging from the inky depths.

“POSEY!😃😃🥳🤩🤩!” Delighted squeals reverberate through my house, as a volume usually only reserved for the Wiggles, while the water horse actively tries to murder what is apparently the second favourite character in this movie.

“Aw, Posy… 😕😞😔” and a resigned sigh as the water horse is frozen and Elsa escapes.

“I told you Posy was good.” 😌
