TST, she/her, elderly and unpleasant, eight foot vertical leap. If you're looking for incredibly long, rambling posts about whatever catches my interest, boy oh boy are you in luck. If I don't answer your ask, it's almost certainly because I didn't notice it, and then too much time passed and I started feeling guilty and decided I would get to it soon, and then I didn't.

dude i’m in the weeds here. how did my parents make me do anything. what is he doing with a whole bottle of soap in a day? why do I possibly think this will work to stop “woo hell yeah SOAP SOAP SOAP SOAP SOAP” hours?

it won’t. i know it. the boy craves soap. We’ve gone through roughly a gallon this month.

i just never even contemplated that this would be the parenting hill i repeatedly die on

if you’re wondering how this shook out, he read it indignantly exactly once, removed the labels, insisted that it was not and could not be him and had we considered his sister (who invariably does use one. ladybug of soap) or perhaps me and his dad were doing it, then huffed off. But…. i mean, there IS still soap in the bottle today so maybe a win???

however, the universe requires balance, so it should come as no surprise that when we took the kids up to bed, 5 year old was like “and now time to put on my lotion for the dry skin I allegedly have!” and i glanced away for one second while she was using the pump bottle and when i looked back she was just like

as someone who caused the same problem for my mom (constantly wasted soap to an insane degree) it was because I was mixing soaps to make "potions".... crazy to see the same problem in the wild. I literally remember being annoyed that my mom wouldn't let me use like half a bottle of shampoo to make a potion lmao

i purposely refused to read him george’s marvelous medicine because

i too was a potioneer

would bar soap solve you "child uses so much soap" problem? extremely endearing problem to have I fear. child craves the soap,,,,

you know, I very briefly considered this. And then I considered the odds of a seven year old and a five year old returning the soap to, for example, a soap dish instead of a random wet puddle on the counter. I considered how frequently my ADHD ass would have the motivation at the end of a workday to clean the melted and adhered bar soap off the bathroom counter.

…I elected to go with begging via label maker.

me, explaining everything I’ve learned from Tiktok about the Descendents movies (which I have never seen) and their upcoming sequel Descendents 5: Wicked Wonderland to my loving partner:

“Okay so this part is sung by the Smee twins. Smee fucks in this one. Baby. Baby. SMEE FUCKS IN THIS ONE.”

That’s right folks. Squeaky and Squirmy Smee.

this is what the people wanted. The smee twins. Squeaky and Squirmy Smee, mother unknown, the conception of whom could have been nothing but an eldritch ritual

I can't believe this entore site is not talking about Widow's Bay. Nautical folk horror, it's stephen king it's midnight mass it's also somehow an office comedy. Stephen Root is there. What more could you want?

20 episodes per season with lots of episodes focused on side characters' shenanigans.

Widow's Bay 1.05 What To Expect On Your Trip

lol I wanted to make the kids something special for dessert tonight while using up our many strawberries that will rot.

I’ma digress for a moment to talk about the berries problem. See for those of us with 50% custody of 2 kids under 10, we can never buy the correct amount of berries, ever. They will either turn to mush because you have purchased a quart based on last week’s consumption only to discover that they HATE those berries now, actually, and furthermore have ALWAYS hated those berries… or you can buy a pint and then when you run out on day 2 it was a critical error because all they want is their ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BERRIES…which are of course the same ones they hate in the other scenario.

Berry digression over, I was a little extra and chopped up and mixed in fresh strawberries with some decent vanilla ice cream, then got more extra and went for sprinkles and whipped cream and strawberry syrup and sliced strawberry garnish.

Anyway, I just handed them over and they both very seriously said “THANK YOU CHEF.” and i will be riding this high all night.
