One of my regular Trader Joe’s did a remodel and changed the layout of the store. Thank you for respecting my privacy during this time.

Living near a park with two kids and dog is great, except for the part it takes us 10 minutes to walk there and three business days to get back.

8yo: Pretend I’m a bunny and you’re adopting me from the shelter. Me: Aw! Sweet bunny. Look, her name is Truffle! 8yo: That is not a girl name. Name me a food that’s a girl name.

8yo: I don’t like those lunchboxes you picked out. Except that one. Me: Ok, you can be in charge of cleaning that one whenever you need a lunchbox. 8yo: Wait. Actually, they’re all good! —— Amazing how that happened.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

This is a fun time as parents to a toddler acquiring language: Clock doesn’t have an “l” Cup has a “ck” instead of a “p” Fork doesn’t have an “r”

Me at preschool drop off: Just so you know, we hung up a new clock at home and 1yo is very intent on repeating the word. Teacher: Ok…? Me: But her version doesn’t have the “l” in it yet. Figured you’d want the heads up as she might walk around shouting it all day.

Saw a bunch of people in the theater lobby dressed in robes and carrying light sabers. I’m a little embarrassed because I didn’t realize we were all dressing up for The Sheep Detectives.

Nothing quite prepares you for the moment a two year old approaches you and clearly says, “the music is not playing because the phone is having trouble connecting with the speaker.”

Fresh goldfish crackers lovingly packed in my toddler’s pristine bento box for school: Untouched. Stale goldfish crackers she finds shoved into her car seat after three weeks: Wow! Mama! See! Snack! *immediately shoves into her face*

Flight crew: Ladies and gentlemen, we’re now making our final descent. Please stow tray tables and return seatbacks to their upright positions. Remember, in the event of an emergency landing, do not bring any personal belongings with you. —— We’re all just gonna be chill about that last sentence? 😳

I’m convinced people who make “quick kid hairstyles for when you’re running late” content are the same people who suggest I can have dinner on the table in 15 minutes when the recipe involves finely dicing at least three kinds of vegetables.

Inexplicable parenting math: Packing one kid lunch take five minutes. Packing two kid lunches takes twenty. Packing two kid lunches and a parent lunch takes an infinite amount of time. Do not attempt.

“You just received 5+ messages from your friend. Summarize with AI?” Yeah! Because the last thing I want to do with my time is hear thoughts, hopes, dreams, jokes, and struggles from people I like. What makes relationships meaningful is how quickly I can process them.
