Has anyone pointed out the fact that the beloved children's book "The Monster at the End of this Book" is straight up Grover gaslighting toddlers? Can't wait to see what other children's books are like this.

Butter boards are an abomination. I said what I said.
Gonna use this platform to track the little wins, maybe? Little win: one twin asleep in a crib!

TIL that an mmm bop is a unit of time, apparently?! for the first time, noticed the lyrics that go: "in an mmm bop you're gone, in an mmm bop you're not there"
Remember back in 2020 when the government casually confirmed aliens are probably real and we’ve definitely seen UFOs and we’d already been through so much that the collective public reaction was “damn that’s crazy… Anyway.”

So a person gives birth to twins and if their sperm donor happens to also be a second parent, his job is to PHOTOCOPY THE BREASTFEEDING CHART 🤦

Without fail, pretty much as soon as I plunk myself on the couch at the end of the day, Twin B decides it is time for kicking! I have to guess that it is connected to my body's position (legs outstretched in front of me), but anyway, I am in awe at the regularity of the event
