heads up if you’re gen x and you wear a middle part you’re going to look more like your boomer mom than your millennial kid

@Dale_Meyer @TheSpaceGal She does, and I’m excited for your little one to have smart, inspiring role models too! She’ll grow up knowing she can do and be anything. Good job, dad.

Anyone else around here mad crushing on @TheSpaceGal? I haven’t let my fiver watch anything but #emilyswonderlab for like seven straight days and I think the hubs is getting suspicious. #smartgirlsrule

@grassrootsyaya @EmmyStar79 He looks exactly like our beasts — they're Norwegian Forest cats! Cousins or something like that to a Maine Coon. So now sweet shelter kitty Murphy can feel proud of his roots. ;).

At what age do children start responding with “okay” instead of “I knowwwwwwww” to literally everything that you know they don’t know.

Think I'm finally ready to own this: I only put candy around the house (currently, red and pink V-Day M&Ms and candy hearts) because I know my 11yo won't be able to resist sneaking it, then I have an excuse to gather it all up and "keep it safe" in my office. With me. Alone.

This exceptional light, @TheAmandaGorman, makes everything a little less scary. Even kids.

Can we talk about the mutant variation invading our households today in the form of "poor man's LEGOs" because that shit is way more dangerous than even the original, which I would not have thought possible before I came up against this off-brand pirate ship.

There are days — and I’m talking full 24-hour cycles — where I’m pretty sure I do nothing but the dishes of my children.

Kids are the best? Worst? Thank god mine can’t spell yet.

Whenever any well-meaning person says, "It goes by so fast" invite them over to listen to your child talk about Minecraft.

What do you think kids would think if they ever realized just how little of what they say actually hits a mark? My fiver has been jabbering incessantly for sixtyleventeen hours straight and all I’ve heard is something about the floor being lava.

So good.
