"5yo "Fine. I'll just ask grandma "

Pop quiz: is this a compost bin after a squirrel got into it? Or what I just found in my 5 year old's lunch bag?

Educators and friends in all professions: looking for advice on the best AI and plagiarism detection software or app. I have zero experience with this. Preparing for my internship and hopefully a job after that....

My 5 year old starts kindergarten in French Immersion in the fall. We were doing some school etiquette prep:
Me "What do you do at school if you need to use the washroom?"
5 year old "Say au secours!!!"
Me "....I was going for 'raise your hand'"

@trudykeil When I was pregnant 6 years ago, people said I should have been on a list pretty well as soon as I got pregnant. It is worse now. Our daycare center very quickly went from recruiting kids to having people who were not pregnant yet wanting to get on the waitlist.

Me trying to explain to my 5 year old what TV was before streaming services, "There were these things called channels and you just had to watch whatever came on"

I want a tuition refund, paid hourly, for all the time I have spent fighting with Word to format a paper according to some picky ass citation requirements. Why have we decided that everyone needs to know MLA, APA and Chicago FLAWLESSLY in their undergrad? What's the point?

My 5 year old's second life plan (he can't draw a hotdog): I'm going to be a doctor then. Do you have to go to university to be a doctor? Then forget it. I'll work at a bank and sell money.

Breakfast life planning with my 5 year old: Do you have to be able to draw a hotdog to work at a hotdog stand?
