  • In Between Years

    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.

  • No Frosting

    No Frosting

    In all seriousness, the harder hits were my homemade meals and all the niche alternative foods we had for my kid with food allergies. It is luckily close to the time of year that I tend to start restocking my cake stash, anyway.

  • Probably Too Young

    Probably Too Young

    Junkos made a nest in our (overgrown) lawn right on the ground. Unfortunately, of 3 eggs, none have survived to adulthood, so maybe it wasn’t a great location, and now we’ve had to talk about mortality rates.

    Won’t Stop Groovin’

    Looking it up, Shake It Off was released over 10 years ago in 2014, and the song I played for her was released in 2004. It’s not as though I was playing music from the 1970s.

    This is why you have to be careful about making a reward match the thing you actually want.

  • Out Of The Darkness

    Out Of The Darkness

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

  • King Kong Who?

    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.

  • Troll Fluff

    Basically verbatim kid logic, here.

  • Still Kicking

    Still Kicking

    I’m not sure that I’ve ever been mad at my spouse for something they’ve done in a dream, but I have been confused at least once.
