Our classroom raises salmon and so there's tank management. I'm looking over the receipts from last year trying to estimate costs and my tired goo brain was trying to figure out why they needed PRIME for the fish tank and did fish need electrolytes like that?
Yeah I need more sleep

Small child has informed me that their teacher has offered up two free stick bugs to any family that wants a pair.
We will apparently be accepting this generosity

I am not getting our older kid a cell phone but for this moment when she and two of her friends are all sending each other dozens of three second voice memos on a group text to each other's mother's phones, I understand the temptation

A field trip mom reported this to me:
Our 2nd grader was being teased by
a couple of kids in her class because someone had a crush on her and they wanted to know if she had a crush back.
Our kid looks at them and declares in Katharine Hepburn
"Sorry boys - I'm single!"
and flounces off.

We think a bear got into the coop and got all the birds last night. Woke up to a shattered door ripped off the frame and a busted up coop and no ducks and chickens.

There should be a service that sends your therapist a list of the songs you listened to since you last talked and the number of times you've played each song.
