do NOT quote me on this but so far—second job work is going well and seems like it might not be as demanding as I was expecting. three kids and none of them are very confident writers but fortunately they have an extremely confident editor & project manager in me lol and I’m doing a better job than usual at quickly herding them towards their long essay topics. pray for me that I can hustle them through this at a reasonable clip (while also still helping them produce good writing!!)

I have two hands. I have machines. First, I walk on the balance beam. First, I walk on it. Clap, clap. I want to pull my hair. I first walk on a big beam. I play ball. Big, big beam.

the baby spotting a tiny stain on his carseat: IT IS BLOOD, MOMMY! I will check it with my light. [shines tiny flashlight on it for a long time] it is a blood. little bit blood. I’m brushing my teeth. I find a bee in there.

Ok, Have you in real life ever seen a bathroom that had its light switch Outside of the bathroom. Not like one of those fancy giant bathrooms where the toilet is in its own little room, but a normal sized bathroom where you could be in there doing your thing and someone Outside could just turn the light off on you?

This is so normal to me

Yeah but it's weird

Maybe? normal though.

Maybe? weird though.

No but I'm pro this being a thing

no and what the fuck why would that be a thing

Button.

In Real life. not in a videogame or movie because I've Only seen it in videogames and a friend has spotted it in a movie.

having a toddler is such a wild ride lol they’re the chattiest, goofiest, snuggliest, most delightful little people on the planet. and also sometimes they take off their pants and climb up on the kitchen table midway through dinner in order to IMMEDIATELY pee all over it and then when you lunge towards them to try to get them OFF THE TABLE they fling their little bodies over the edge and somehow manage to wind up stuck upside down between the table and the kitchen bench shrieking at the top of their lungs. still no pants on. covered in pee.
