I’m quite fortunate that my kids don’t throw up nearly as much as I did as a child – none of them inherited my motion sickness for basically all forms of transport (and I mostly grew out of it).

In Between Years
Work milestones are every 5 years. For adult ages I’ve got things like: 21 (legally drink), 25 (can rent a car), 35 (can be president), and all the decades (like turning 40). But I find those in-between numbers to be less memorable.

Out Of The Darkness
This is just how I roll keeping my streak going of awkward interactions with other parents.

King Kong Who?
Not that going to New York is a guarantee that you’re going to meet King Kong, or the Ninja Turtles, etc.
