  • May Be A Jerk

    May Be A Jerk

    There’s a full cast of engaging jerks, including the other droid: “my attitude needs no translation”-D2, and friends like “yes, a straight answer would kill me” Kenobi and “nothing that’s going wrong is my fault!” Solo.

  • Just Introverted

    Just Introverted

    It hit me that I might be more introverted than average when other moms would commiserate about how much they missed being able to get out of the house and see other people after giving birth to their kids, but… wasn’t that part of the charm of maternity leave?

  • The Gist

    The Gist

    Context will tell us if the F-bombs were likely used in a “heck-yeah!” or a “what-the-heck?” sort of way.

    Early Days

    Let’s say we’re still early in some ways and no longer early in other ways and we can all just get along.

  • One Of Us

    One Of Us

    Somewhat ironically, he was going to make a joke about me being the one to screw up more, but the real-life situation during the delivery forced a change in plan.

  • Who’s On First?

    Who’s On First?

    Yes, my kids actually did this.

  • Take One For The Team

    Take One For The Team

    If there is one team with all the tasks that really suck, obviously no one wants to be on that team.

  • Do You Trust Them?

    Do You Trust Them?

    Sometimes it’s still better to have a human in the loop. One with a stake. And context.

  • Ground Candy

    Ground Candy

    Technically, all the candy was picked up off the ground – just most of it was in protective egg containers and not directly on the dirt.

  • Right In The 90s

    Right In The 90s

    On the plus side, other people who actually lived through the 90s thought it was a good costume.
