Noone:
My brain: is it im-pet-us or imp-eh-tus? Have I been saying it wrong all these years? Im-pet-us? Imp-eh-tus?

*Looks it up* Imp-eh-tus. Cool. I was right.

30 seconds later...
My brain: Wait. Why do impetus and impotence sound the same?

My 15 yo is watching her first football game ever and she's HILARIOUS. She gets so upset/excited about every play. "Momma! Momma! He almost intercepted the ball! Did you see it?!" He was nowhere near intercepting the ball & I'm literally right here. πŸ˜†

At any moment when I'm in a public place I'm about 30 seconds away from shouting out "has anyone else been to the cottage recently?!" And when I get to something like 25-29 seconds my brain goes "DONT DO IT" and the countdown starts over. πŸ“š

Went and saw @anagasteyer.bsky.social at SPACE a couple of weeks ago. One of my favorite annual traditions. She said no one names their kids Floyd anymore. I'm not having any more kids, but I did name the newest member of the family Floyd thanks to her. Say hi to Floyd:

Just watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation for the first time. I don't usually like movies where the main character keeps having crappy things happen to them, but it's Chevy Chase so I'm kind of ok with it
