@kendradlinton I saw you guys while waiting in the merch line this morning! I’m so sorry it didn’t work out for you. I told my husband surely you’d have good luck. ☹️
The best random part about having small kids is how they mispronounce things and it’s so adorable that you not only don’t correct them, you start adopting it yourself.
During Covid, our daughter couldn’t say “hand sanitizer” correctly. Three years later and we all still call it “hanzatizer.”
When my son was two, he had a toy Elmo guitar that he called his “kintar.” My wife and I only stopped pronouncing it like that once he started real kintar lessons and we sounded dumb in front of the teacher.
Our toddler is two and she calls her backpack a “pack pack.” Now the other kids talk about getting their pack packs ready for school every day.
We’re having pasghetti for dinner tonight.
It probably sounds stupid, but it’s little things like this that make parenthood—despite all the challenges—an irreplaceable joy.
I come from a family of doctors & cancer researchers. My district is full of medical professionals. RFK, Jr. is an anti-vax conspiracist. While we hear from him today, here’s the facts on what he did to kids in Samoa & why the Senate must reject him:
He wants to stop the development of new medicines for cancer and Alzheimer’s, which he impugns as pharmaceutical poison. His first week, he promised to give drug development and infectious disease research a “little bit of a break.” For eight years.
The single worst thing about Trump to me will always be how much he's changed people. I've watched friends and relatives become entirely new, worse people in the wake of his political rise. Like it's not merely that he's a terrible guy, it's that he's ruined people.
