I accidentally told the checkout person “have a good night, youngin” I feel like a line has been crossed they can’t be uncrossed.

Does Ken Burns wear a wig?

We need to talk about all the popularity of human size dog beds and what it means for us as a people.

I made child listen to Michael Martin Murphy’s 1975 single “Wildfire” before bed last night. In the past, he had complained that I only like “country songs about sad things,” so I guess I showed him.

Researching AI proof careers and having a nervous breakdown. Choreographer comes is a lot. Like, are we going to have a lot more musical theater? Do robots like that?

I do think we need to get to the bottom of whatever alien or worm is living in that Real Housewife woman.

I told my kid I love him. “You say that everyday like it’s new news.”

I didn’t foresee a future where I spent so much time verifying that I’m human.

I guess I’m old because when I see Bad Bunny’s underwear ad, I just think, “his poor mother.”

There’s a single goose at the animal shelter.

Went to new cat cafe. Spouse took a look around room and said, “well, this is as close as I’ll ever get to an opium den,” before stretching out on some fur carpeting.

Gorilla Tag introduced a hoverboard feature.
To make conversation, I told my kid that Tony Hawk is my age. “I didn’t know he was real,” kid said.

Why people acting like the anglerfish seeing the sun was the best thing ever? Something terrible happened to put him there. He was dying. Some of us like it dark.

The heaviness of being human aside: my kid and his friend did want to play a Weird Al song on the way to the dojo.

My dad asked me if I’d “heard about the bear.” I thought he meant the one who steals bird feed in his neighborhood. “Naw, the one you’re always carrying on about.” Readers: he meant the pandas at the zoo in Washington, D.C.

I like many of Will Ferrel’s creative choices, but I don’t get the monopoly commercial.

We let my precocious 11-year-old watch the first season of “Severance,” fast forwarding past the Kier dancers. Worried about the decision but proud he liked it, I guess.

Child asks what burlap meant. I tell him. He said he thought it was when you burp in a not professional manner.

The space museum is kind of a neurodivergent person’s nightmare.

Before I could stop myself, I gave a Big City Barista a mom pat today.

We’ve now successfully answered two questions about using public transportation to other citizens. #hillbilly #sealegs

I put glitter on because it’s New Year’s Day and child says it’s embarrassing.

Spouse told me I’m not allowed to wave at people ten minutes into the wild of our urban adventure.

Then there were all these folks talking about how they’d had dreams recently about being at a barbecue and learning there’d been a nuclear attack on the East Coast. Not going to look at Reddit anymore.

Accidentally opened reddit. Some lady was talking about how she died for six minutes and, in the afterlife, she met these angry gods who made her serve them and tortured her. Kind of bummed me out.

Spouse telling child that in the past, you could buy a shampoo called Gee, your hair smells terrific.

I don’t understand what shape of pants we’re wearing now.
