Today’s parenting brought to you by caffeine, the public library, and the miraculous intercession of St Joseph.

4YO: knock knock

Me: who’s there?

4YO: basket!

Me: basket who?

4YO: basket you glad I didn’t say bear??

(Hilarity ensues)

🐻 🧺🤷🏻‍♀️

[Leah Perez @lmtperez]

Update: attempted to teach 4YO the banana/orange knock knock joke. She now has infinite varieties. For example,

4YO: knock knock

Me: who’s there?

4YO: bear!

Me: bear who?

4YO: knock knock

Me: who’s there?

4YO: bear!

Etc.

@SusanBReynolds1 My 4.5 YO is right there with her.

Her: knock knock

Me: who’s there?

Her: a tree!

Me: a tree who?

Her: A LAMP!

🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂

And also, it’s a bookstore... How is this not a thing??

[Katie Prejean McGrady @KatiePMcGrady]

But like, why isn’t there a coffee shop that turns into a bar after 3 p.m. and I can go there, sit at a booth, write, and have a beer, just like I would with coffee at 9 a.m...

Praying for everyone involved, especially for the late Mr Fuller. Regardless of how things happened, it is a very sad situation.

One of my favorite things that I’ve learned from St Ignatius is to assume good will; until you know otherwise, assume people mean well and are trying to do good. Internet culture isn’t super conducive to this, but Christians should strive for it. https://t.co/uEz1dROlrC

In this case, having known Father DuPont when we were both in school, I am not at all surprised by his explanation. I hope I will be as charitable in my assumptions when I don’t know the person on the other side of the story.

@Dadinista To be fair, a lot of people do talk about how Obama made conservatives crazy, they (we?) just don’t happen to be the same people talking about how trump has made liberals crazy... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Things my kids prayed for before bed tonight:

- that dad doesn’t eat all the desert while they’re sleeping

- that mom can finish reading her library book (Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel) before we move next week.

This is pretty much all you need to know about our family 😂

Reading #Chesterton’s Heretics and just learned (among other things) that hippogriffs were not invented by @jk_rowling

Any else notice how “Gender neutral” often actually means “for men/ masculine”?

This harms women because we’re considering what’s male = norm.

#complementarity y’all. It’s a catholic thing, and it means men and women are #equally human.

Overheard: If immigrants really become “public charges” and freeloaders, why does ICE always raid workplaces?

[Leah Perez @lmtperez]

This thread is so beautiful ❤️

Preach 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[Leah Perez @lmtperez]

To be clear, I’ve got no issue with respectful criticism, but I’m all set with the mudslinging...

[Leah Perez @lmtperez]

My first day back on twitter since Mardi Gras, and apparently the pope is a heretic...
