I am diagramming your sentences in my head.

It’s been a while - I’m due for a social media break. Text me if you need me.

Adult children still need their parents. For example, I’m currently furiously texting my mother (@kllred) with my opinions on a TV adaptation of a book series that we both love, and I need her to tell me that I’m right.

My eight year old is sticking her finger in the fruit dip I made, shooting me a side eye, and muttering “nothing to see here.” #paynoattentiontotheMoyabehindthecurtain

Halfway through the first episode of “Only Murders in the Building” and I immediately see what all the fuss is about. I’m a lifelong fan of @SteveMartinToGo and Martin Short; I don’t know why I’m so #latetotheparty on this. But good grief, this is an absolute treat.

Friends, you can learn from my mistakes: If you’re driving on a narrow and curvy country road, in torrential downpour, with heavy traffic, don’t listen to Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Your life’s movie soundtrack does not have to be that intense!

The O.C. Supertones just came up on shuffle. I still know all the words and I’m having flashbacks, so I guess this is me admitting I went through a ska-rap phase.

Finally got to see @IncubusBand in concert tonight!! I’ve been waiting for this opportunity since 1999, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Bucket list show - ✅

Also loved seeing @Coheed again, nearly 20 years after the last time!

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

Highly recommend revisiting the Best of @bebewinans & @cecewinans. I’ve got it shuffling while I work this morning. You guys, I need you to read this with emphasis on every single word: Every song is so good. @MixtapeTheology

Just paused an old Hallmark movie to figure out where I’d heard the melody progression in the score before. Let my brain go on autopilot to fill in the lyrics and confirmed: It’s identical to a couple of lines in the verses of “I Need You Now” by All Star United.

“Do you want me to put a sad face in my diary? Well, do you?” - Moya, age 7.5, trying to get her way.

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

Piano tuner comes tomorrow and my latest reorganization project made it hard to get to the piano.

Normal people: Clear the path!

Me: Consolidate two bookcases! Put one in the garage! Rearrange the other furniture! Look at all this room for activities!

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

Crazy to think there was a time in my life when I went to the mall on a Saturday on purpose.

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

Watched an old @hallmarkchannel movie today. She had a fence built on the patio of a rental w/o talking to the owners or the other 1/2 of the duplex. 🚩 He agreed to her kid’s idea they keep it a secret from her that they were hanging out. 🚩 This couple is not #goals, ok kids?

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

Hey #NWA people - I’m looking for recommendations for a piano teacher for Moya. I know I have enough musically-inclined friends and/or friends who have gotten lessons for their kids, surely one of you can help me out!

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

In case anyone wondered if my child is anything like me, tonight she pointed out a spelling error in the closed captions. #sevengoingoncopyeditor

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

Apparently my child has reached the age where I accidentally find myself having strong preferences re: people who play Minecraft on YouTube.

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

@PBJToastIsMyJam @nocontextscats I could see Thomas doing that 😂

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

Probably should have put some thought into this before today, but am I really going to have to go buy an antenna to watch the game? There has to be another way.

[Dana Mason @danerkebab]

This just in: My seven-year-old has discovered “Dragostea Din Tei.”

broken teeth
at the end of the day
are more than
deserved
from the equation of
gasping mouthfuls
always chewing never
swallowing and the syllables
that stick in the back of my throat
never to be said again
