And despite that, I’ve never felt the urge to look up actual power washing content

this is the correct answer

gourd crafts for the first time

I love thrift stores

A mom from James's class showed me a sweet card he'd made for her daughter, but when I asked him about it, he told me he originally made it for a different girl with a similar name. When she didn't want it, he just changed a letter and gave it to the other girl 🙃

I was wearing dark colors and a chunky scarf. I've never been roasted so hard in my life

I tried to dress up for James's class's field trip to the ballet, but when I asked him how I looked, he just said "you look like Gru from the Minions."

the first thing my 6yo said to me this morning was "I've been thinking about prime numbers..."

A Bluesky thread by Musicology Duck: I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place they switched drivers at a rest stop and the new driver is telling everyone that they're the ones on the wrong bus?? he's refusing to talk to anyone while he's driving and is now just driving really fast people are calling the police I think I might end up in Vienna Virginia but I'm ... not sure??? two big guys just went up and said we're going to Union station!! and he said no we're not

This is a WILD thread—that is still ongoing bsky.app/profile/musi...

Yeah, dad was trying to explain luchadors to him, while James just kept yelling “she has a heart tail!!”

it was this one

I left James alone with my dad for like 2 minutes and came back to a heated argument over a pikachu’s gender 🙃

you spelled it wrong

Hey @benfrosh.bsky.social, want to explain to me why James has been “drawing warhammer” all morning?

I think I've been playing too much powerwash simulator around James. I took him to the dentist, where they have a big train set in the waiting room, but instead of playing with the trains, he just kept moving this little toy man around the buildings while making whooshing noises...

I had to ask my 6yo the order of planets in the solar system to make sure I got it right in a game. the worst part is he finished his list with, "and if you're in the old days, Pluto"

I had to take literally a dozen photos before he calmed down enough to look excited instead of deranged

his new favorite game

James got annoyed at me for something and said “you just don’t appreciate art, buddy”

Fs in chat, "HE IS AN EX-MARLEY.", "damn", "RIP Marley but I'm different" etc.

CHARLES DICKENS: Marley was dead, to begin with
TWITCH CHAT:

Hey, why the fuck is my 6yo making me read this for his bedtime story AND WHY IS HE CHEERING IN RECOGNITION WHEN THEY MENTION CANTOR

yeah, I want that iron back!

Here’s another angle that shows off the red part he found the perfect pieces for!

yep, that sure looks like some homework I did 15 years ago

Like, if it’s super irregular, you’d need some kind of complicated equation for the boundary, and then do something with that

Vaguely reminds me of some stuff I did not absorb from multi-variable calculus

we weren’t even discussing physics or anything; all he’d been doing for the past 15 minutes was drawing pikmin-themed math problems while listening to the muppets sing bohemian rhapsody

James just lifted a large pokémon squishmallow over his head, said, “this is potential snorlax!” then dropped it, saying, “and this is kinetic snorlax!”

James: I found some purple coins you missed [in Mario]
me: wow, nice job!
James: that's because I have a brain
me: are you saying I don't?
James: well, your brain is good at different things
