@BestBuyCanHelp @BestBuyCanada Should I expect a better result than the back and forth I’ve had with [email protected]? I’ll DM you the inquiry number I was assigned and you can take it from there. I’m not starting another endless email thread where I get constantly thanked for patience I don’t have.

Don’t ever buy anything from @BestBuyCanada with your credit card online. Apparently they can just change the price after the transaction completes and then put you through hell to get the refund, and still not give it to you. They literally stole hundreds of dollars from me.

Wife: “What did Daddy feed you for breakfast this morning?”

4yo: “Porn Cops”

… [uncomfortable pause]…

Wife: “Don’t you mean Corn Pops?”

4yo: “That’s what I said… Porn Cops! I love Porn Cops”

Me: “Me too son… me too”

[Ben Kelly @benkellycodes]

Despite many attempts to correct him, my 4yo calls his dominant hand his “fooder”.

Honestly, I’m on board now.

You know you’re old when you find yourself singing along to an absolute bangin’ tune by Phil Collins playing in Carter’s while you’re shopping for your kid’s clothes.

Tiernan has adjusted surprisingly well to #homeschooling JK. He looks like he’s teaching the class! @StJohnTCDSB #wfh

[Ben Kelly @benkellycodes]

Michael Collins move over... this is my new favourite revolutionary...

During this time of protest, I know we could all use an uplifting story. So I want to tell you about El Negro Matapacos, the heroic Chilean protest dog who hated the police.

Why is it that whenever I’m getting my 3 year old ready for bed, right after he takes a piss, he feels the need to touch my face?

Tonight his hand was wet.

It was wet, people...

WET!...

TOUCHING MY FACE!!!!

Remember when I tweeted this in mid-March?

3 weeks? That hasn’t aged well...

Who cares about toilet paper? I’m more worried about getting a comfortable chair and second monitor that won’t take up too much room in my bedroom while I hide from my kids for the next 3 weeks. #COVID19 #coronavirus #COVID19toronto #wfh #workingfromhome #panicbuying

I just walked behind my 10 year old son who’s sitting at the kitchen table with his headphones on while working on a document for school.

He’s just zooming in and out on it.

Zoom in.
Zoom out.
Zoom in.
Zoom out.

I’ve never related to him more than I do in this moment.

@rawvirk I guess if I had enough rolls of toilet paper I could fashion a comfortable chair?
