I love when an author writes a child character but hasn't spent much time around kids. I'm reading a book featuring a baby who's "just starting to talk", doesn't have teeth, BUT has "drawings on the fridge" & when he disappears from his room at night they wonder if he "slipped off" by himself?!?!

Rowan's latest thing when he doesn't want to do something like put on socks or leave the playground is declaring "I can't want to do that."

As we move closer towards the Christmas season, I'm reminded once more that The Family Stone should have ended with Sarah Jessica Parker's character barricading that whole family in the house and setting it ablaze.

It's always so tough when Taylor Swift releases bad music because yes it's not good but most of these people haven't earned the right to dunk on her, they've never even cried listening to All Too Well (10 minute version) (Sad Girl Autumn Version) on repeat.

There is a season 5 episode of Sex and the City where Carrie is having a creative dry spell and proposes writing an article about some guy she dated 6 years ago because she's got no other material. I thought of it as soon as I heard the new Taylor Swift songs. 😬

The Tommy Robinson endorsement thing is funny because Ed Sheeran clearly doesn’t actually give a fuck about either Israel or Palestine, he just wanted to be left alone with his piles of money. And now the fash want to be friends. So much for trying to stay apolitical!

Rowan is so excited for trick or treating but the funny thing is he doesn't even get sweets so he's not excited about that part, he just wants to dress up as a bee and say hello to people. 🥹

These people found a baby goat trapped in a pit. They took him home and cared for him overnite. The next day they tried to find the owner but had no luck. While looking - they found a group of goats with the same white fur. Then this happened. Original post

In 2001, my sister did a great drawing of a dolphin and sent it in to The Den (big Irish kids TV show, if you're not familiar) and they featured it on the show and sent her Den goodies but we weren't watching it that afternoon because 9/11 was happening.

The bus driver was checking student IDs and I joked that I was definitely over 16 and he laughed a bit *too* hard.

The idea of trying to make a fucking Christmas Carol into a "both sides have a point" story is so ridiculous it almost circles back around to being brilliant (but doesn't get there).

Rowan knows when we go into a shop he's not supposed to touch things. We were in the supermarket earlier and there was a woman ahead of us shopping. Rowan pointed at her accusingly and said "she's touching things!"

A question inspired by Love is Blind: which would be a bigger red flag for you? 1. A potential spouse who has never been in a serious relationship (never lived with someone, met parents etc). 2. A potential spouse who has been in multiple serious relationships and has been engaged once before.

I know two people who have lived in the UAE for the last 10 years with maids, nannies etc. and they are coming back to settle in Ireland and I'm imagining how they are going to adjust to life without indentured servants and untaxed income.
