Me: I’m so tired I want to die.
4 yr-old: Mom, do Daisy Duck.
Me: *Daisy Duck impression from underneath a pillow*
4 yr-old (laughs hysterically): That’s the best in the world!
Me: I could probably raise 3 or 4 more children.

If a storyline involving @sam_buttrey isn’t in the cards for #OMITB - as a @SteveMartinToGo relative, perhaps?- then I truly don’t understand what the people want. (You will be SO missed, Sam! #jeopardymasters)

Dear good people of @NintendoAmerica (and @ZeldaUniverse peeps and anyone else who loves #Zelda and #BOTW)... My 7 year-old has some gentle suggestions in advance of #botw2.

He says anyone in charge can have these for free.

This was a delightful thread. I really- nerdily- got excited towards the end of the list. WHO'S GONNA WIN?!

The House of Faberge made 52 "Imperial" eggs as Easter gifts for Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II to give to their wives and moms. 46 of these survive. I will rank all 46 Imperial Faberge eggs.

@Raffi_RC Doesn’t the air just feel easier to breathe?! (And not just because of the Paris Climate Accord, either.) ❤️

@POTUS And THERE’S the deep breath out. (She says after the eightieth deep breath out. Is it possible to hyperventilate from relief/joy? Worth it.)

Husband was pulled over by the police on his way home from work. Around 2/2:30 am. They told him to get out of the car from the speaker thing they have. He refused. They walked up on either sides of the car. Flashlight in his face. Neither cop had a mask on. They again...

Whuuuut.

We used Covid-19 shutdown to do projects that would’ve been inconvenient for residents regularly (street paving, park renovations etc). One project was ripping up the 1960s vinyl floor at city hall. We thought we’d find garbage but instead we found the original from 100 yrs ago

@rustylakecom @Steam Re-releasing it was SUCH a gift. Thank you!!

Oh my goodness, I love CPS and their wonderful students...

[CPS - Chicago Public Schools @ChiPubSchools]

Our students have faced a lot of adversity this school year.

We wanted to give them the chance to share their thoughts and experiences with our entire CPS family.

[Keely Flynn @LollygagBlog]

With all of the great @oldtownschool classes make the switch to online instruction, you didn’t think they’d leave their beloved Wiggleworms behind, did you? #Chicago tinies (and #parents), get your wiggle on! (New session May 4th!) https://t.co/KLejGabesJ

@Raffi_RC Oh, that color! (Chicago’s a while away yet from color...)

@KenJennings @TheThomason Frame-worthy.

Have we considered consulting Dr. Dre about coronavirus, seeing as we have apparently gone through all other available doctors

@tonyposnanski Jeopardy. Mostly because it’s soothing to remember a time when not knowing the correct trivia answer was considered clear and present “jeopardy.” (Sigh.)
