We're camping this weekend with friends. 11yo: I think I'd like to go home today, my social batteries are drained and we haven't got a charger strong enough to fix it. The draaaaama. #parenting #camping

Me: Chef Mike is cooking the dinner now. 11yo: Where is Chef Mike? Me: ... in the kitchen where he always is... 11yo: Wait, we have a Chef in the kitchen? Me: ... Chef Mike is the microwave. 11yo: WHAT?! I thought we had a Chef called Mike that sometimes cooked dinner! 😂

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

The thing about cats is everyone thinks their cat is the best and most pretty one, and they are correct.

Today, I realised my bookshelves are too small and also have not been organised correctly (I've been lazy putting them back where they should go. My bad.) I also realised that this time last year I bought ACOTAR. I now have over 50 books - all read. I have a serious problem. #Romantascy #Books

🔵HUMANS hear up to 20,000 Hz 🔵DOGS hear up to 45,000 Hz 🔵CATS hear up to 64,000-85,000 Hz So, the next time your cat ignores you, just know... it's 100% intentional.

It's been a heartbreaking few weeks in our house with 3 family deaths. This little lady has barely left my side. She keeps pressing her little head against my heart, as if she can remove the sadness I'm holding inside it. We don't deserve cats. #cats #CatSky #CatsofBlueSky

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn't produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement. --Louise Jensen Duffy

My 11yo has decided to play D&D in his free session at school. He's written a really cool opening, a few encounters, thought about story progression - the works. All in all, about 3 hours worth of content. He has 20 minutes this afternoon to both introduce his friends to D&D AND play the game. 🤦‍♀️

I'd be the worst game streamer ever. I can't stand talking while I play, I hum along to the background music, occasionally go "oh that's not good," or "ah bugger this," mimic the character voices after they say something funny and I spend more time collecting resources than you probably should.
