The kid was my niece!

[Mike Leslie @MikeLeslieWFAA]

This was awesome. As CeeDee Lamb ran off the field, he heard a kid shouting his name and asking for his gloves.

CeeDee did him one better, stopping to take off his cleats and give them to the kid. And he made sure the kid got them, jumping up to hand them off time & again.

@heybonanos @NYMag This is probably a silly question, but what is this address for the resume?

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

The immediate rage I feel when have to look for pjs for my space-obsessed daughter under “boys.”

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@conz Definitely go to Argentina if you can’t get a closer appointment. Better to be assured it’s benign ASAP than to find out too late it wasn’t. I’m not a fan of being alarmist, but have also had loved ones (that are all fine now!) have to endure too much.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@conz Considering I had to pull my kid out of her Cinderella dance recital after she saw the Disney movie, I do not recommend. The Disney villains really do a number. Then again she loves The Nightmare Before Christmas, so what do I know?

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

Shoutout to NYU Langone who somehow have neither of my daughter's parents listed as her proxy, even though she's been there multiple times. Just a 4-year-old's medical record floating in outer space with no one able to access it. Healthcare!

Update to the Ben saga. There’s a little boy that drowned in the river across the street from our house a year or two before we moved here. Just found out his name was Ben. Not the most uncommon name, but still…

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

My only child has been walking around talking about her imaginary brother, Ben. “Ben helped me make this tent.” “Ben and I are going to school.” “Ben is standing right over there.” Getting a little creepy over here.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

Today I have been informed that my kid’s imaginary brother, Ben, landed in the hospital because he ate a nut and got “sick.” She’s having a full conversation with him right now. 👀

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@conz You kept the dress! Love it.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@MajesticDelphin I hate this. You're the best, Masen!

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

8:40am, still recovering from a massive respiratory disease, and almost lost a lung in the car during last-day-of-school drop off. It's not worth going outside today, folks!

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@nuriapuntonet @S_Evangelina Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, for sure! It was my daughter's favorite spot. She loved the Pompidou and the playgrounds in the Marais as well. And she's still VERY proud of herself for climbing the Arc de Triomphe "all by myself."

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@S_Evangelina We were in the Pompidou at one point and my 3-year-old wanted a snack. Obvs you can't eat near the art. A security guard took her by the hand, kicked a bunch of adults out of a nearby seating area so she could have a nice view while she ate, and then gave her extra snacks.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@S_Evangelina Wait until you see how they treat you AFTER you have the kid. The French are obsessed with small children. Spent two weeks in Paris in March (after going multiple times alone over the years) and was like OMG is my daughter a celebrity? Just giving her free stuff at every turn.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

Iconic bathroom.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@FredaMoon One of my favorite LA 36 Hours was the one from 2015 that went micro and focused on Koreatown. It was honestly the perfect 36 Hours in LA and actually made me like the city for the first time ever. https://t.co/cSpf3CRGzD

Our household has entered meltdown mode.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@EsmeMazzeo I have dyscalculia, which might be what you're looking for? It often comes with an increased talent for verbal skills/languages. People with dyscalculia often end up in writing-centric fields.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

@JakeSwearingen There's something deeply existential about this.

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

Just had to pull my daughter from her ballet recital because they’re doing Cinderella and there’s nothing about any version of the show/movie/story that doesn’t terrify her. The more I think about it, I’m pretty sure she’s right!

[Fritzie Andrade @JournalistFritz]

“Is it allergies or am I sick?” If you’re wondering and can, maybe get it checked out. Found out that my “allergies” the last few weeks were allergies + a bacterial infection that was steadily getting worse until I was barely breathing. Glad we got that sorted!
