Surrounded by greyhounds at a cafe this morning and bub couldn't stop pointing and shouting "Dog! Dog!". Then out of nowhere came a chihuahua. He pointed at it and shouted "Cat!"

My baby was crying-I needed hand sanitizer-Too sleep deprived to remember what you call it:
Do you have um what's that called.. The alcohol?
Waiter:Oh of course let me bring you the..
He comes back with a menu which confused the heck outta me until he pointed to the alcohol list

It's 3am. Husband please stop breathing so loudly. I can't hear baby breathing.
Ok it's 5am. Husband please hold your breath or get me an amplifier for the baby.

Yes, we add to the mental load someone carries invisibly when we say "can you remind me later?". Technology can remind us.

Best thing about husbands asking wives where things are when it's right in front of them is that...we don't have to hide the chocolate. (Then again I'm always losing my phone🤷‍♀️guess we're even)

[Elisa Xu @helloelisax]

Last week me: Why would I buy food from a furniture store?
This week me: Can we please go to IKEA? I need their chocolate and meatballs.

Gen X/boomer discovering FB marketplace for the first time: Ok I'll get to that once I get to the end of this page

Anyone else feels like they're in December already?

[Elisa Xu @helloelisax]

Finding food on Deliveroo is dangerous. I was hungry to begin with... now I'm starving, with a hole in my pocket and incoming leftovers for the week

[Elisa Xu @helloelisax]

Husband did a COVID lockdown DIY haircut. Thankfully the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is... 3 weeks.

[Elisa Xu @helloelisax]

@drpotter I would love to see this limited edition toilet paper. Am I allowed to use it to make it even more limited? 🤭

[Elisa Xu @helloelisax]

Me: you have a very nice, calming voice
Smiling Husband: Do I?
Me: Ya it puts people to sleep

The nurse didn't understand why my grandpa insisted on the curtains being drawn around his bed when she brought his food in. He was the only Chinese in the hospital room, the other 3 were Malay, fasting for Ramadan. He wanted to be respectful, and I have so much to learn from him

[Elisa Xu @helloelisax]

Changing bedsheets with a tired brain -
"These aren't shitted feet! Where are the shitted feet?"

[Elisa Xu @helloelisax]

Me: you're not listening to me
Husband: I'm sorry?
Me: I said...you're not listening to me
Husband: that's why I said I'm sorry
