This is brilliant. My lovely wife watched The Shining for the first time and afterwards had a lot to say about Wendy's role and all the expectations of her as a wife and mother. This article is such a fun way to explore that theme.

Two little girls stood in the doorway. “Come play,” one of the girls said. “I’m making lunch,” Wendy whispered. “We want you to play,” the girl said. They stared at Wendy. Unblinking. Evil. “Can we have a snack?” they asked in unison. “I’m literally making lunch!”

This morning at 6:58am my son bottle flipped an entire jug of orange juice and it was somewhere around mid flip that he realized the cap was not on.

Texted my husband with my scheme for getting all three of our kids out of school, to the dentist, fed, and off to three different sports by 5:00pm and he responded "Ocean's Five," and honestly yes.

Kids are in disbelief at rumors that one of the schools in town banned ALL memes. They can't say 6-7, 41, OR 21. Cruel and unusual, absolutely egregious.

If you have home plate seats at the World Series and they catch your ass dinking around on your phone back there a big claw game thing should come down and pluck you up and out by the head.

If you're a person I know in real life, it will take about 7 years for me to let my guard down and become friends with you. If you're a person who gets on the elevator with me, we will form an unbreakable bond by the time we reach the 6th floor.

Reasons the woman sitting next to me in the coffee shop hates her son's girlfriend: - "has celiac" - wore a glittery dress to homecoming and got glitter in the car - "looks sexual"

Google: "You have to buy more storage. Your storage is full because of the 200,000 photos you have saved. So you have to buy more." Me: Deletes 199,900 photos. Google: "What. No. That didn't- that didn't help. It's still full."

Last night Matt tried to kiss me, and I pick-and-rolled past him and ran for a pretend layup. Could tell by the look on his face that he's starting to worry I might be right about this, or maybe is thinking about divorcing me.

Went off about how baseball is the hardest sport because I could try the rest of my life to hit a fastball from an MLB pitcher and never do it, but I could definitely score on Lebron one on one, and apparently the man who married me doesn't think I could score on Lebron so now we're fighting.

My daughter leaned in close to my face for what I thought was a kiss, but she was actually just trying to smell my breath to find out what I was eating in case she wanted some.

Teams to take a 3-0 lead in any best-of-seven postseason series have gone on to win the series 40 of 41 times (97.6%), including 31 sweeps The only team to come all the way back after losing Games 1-3 was the 2004 Red Sox, in the ALCS against the Yankees

I did a bit at a comedy show about how the reason I got into comedy is because my dad died when I was a teenager, and then after the show roughly 40% of the other performers came up to me and said "Hey my dad died when I was a teenager too!" which is objectively the funniest punchline to that bit.

I honestly love the youths. Last night our babysitter was leaving at 9:30pm and she said she had to go home and work on her college app that's due October 15th. I said "WAIT THAT'S TODAY" and she said so calmly "Yeah I have until 11:59pm."

Yesterday morning I told @clhubes.bsky.social we were putting Buster down and she immediately DoorDashed us a dozen donuts and it was truly the world's greatest gift. We were so sad but afterward it was like well... should we have a donut? The kids came home from school and cried but then... donut?

My dog died yesterday morning and I can already tell you that not having a dog is so lonely, like I'm expected to just get up and walk to the fridge for a drink and then walk back to the couch BY MYSELF? Nobody's coming with me??

Trying to explain to my 8-year-old gymnast that I can't do chin ups is so embarrassing. She's like "just pull yourself up?" and I'm like "I can't" and she's like "but just do it? Over and over again?"
