I've confused the same person twice just by parting my hair on the other side so yeah, I get how Clark Kent tricked everyone with his glasses.

I didn’t wear the dress. @mariabamfoo was perfect.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

Is this dress too much for seeing @mariabamfoo tonight? Maybe.
Will I still wear it? Very maybe.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

@pattonoswalt I think I only know this because it shows up in crossword puzzles all the time.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

If Jimmy Carter dies during the @TotalusRankium hiatus, I’m holding Rob responsible.
(But not really. The man is very old.)

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

Big thanks to @titonka for being real about the complex excitement of preparing to have a child.
Almost a year into motherhood, I still feel a lot of this.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

@stu_rush My baby and I both appreciate this.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

Someday my kid will be able to answer me when I ask when he spit up on the floor.
He’ll probably lie, but he’ll at least answer.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

I never imagined myself crying while watching my child use a fork to eat banana but here we are.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

And because I’m a lover of creative couples, I spent the credits waiting to see some kind of shout out to @KarinaLongworth. Worth it.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

#GlassOnion is magnificent and @rianjohnson should be able to make as many of these moves as his brain and body allow.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

I said “Ben, who loves you the most?”
This little punk (who can only say one thing and doesn’t assign meaning to it) said “Dad.”
I really set myself up for disappointment there.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

Remember to read the recipe all the way through before starting to cook, and check with someone more experienced if something doesn’t make sense.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

Still my best work.

@jnswanson Some “early adopter” you are. (But seriously, thank you for demonstrating the good this place can do and teaching me that sometimes strangers on the internet are, in fact, people you can safely meet for coffee in Stratford-upon-Avon.)

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

Also, here are my drafts. These would have been good tweets.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

I mean, if this silly app/website/agora of this millennium is going down, here’s a cute picture of my child eating pasta off his high chair because he could not be bothered to use his hands to send us off.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

I just remembered the time in the early 2000s when a cop pulled into our driveway behind my mom because someone called them thinking we were casing the neighborhood.
We were driving slowly to look at Christmas lights and it was probably 7pm.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

The exhausted amusement with which @DomenicoNPR said “Worm-ston Churchill” will live in my brain for a long time.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

Ben really focuses on Chewie and @MarkHamill on this pillow. I assume it’s because their respective facial hair reminds him of our cats and of Dada.
But maybe he can just tell that they’re cool.

[Hope Swanson Smith @Hope_Swanson]

@yashar I’m a big fan of hard candies, especially those weird strawberry things, but this is not a Halloween candy bowl.
