6yo is just very unhinged today I see. "I wish you were a sight words, but you're not. You're just a human"
She's ready for the end of the school year I see

I'm 36/12 fasting and I'm not sure what this says about me that my mouth keeps longing for oatmeal as I tend towards bed. I always break my fast with oatmeal which has some sugar in it and I guess my body noticed lol

I drove 45mins away to handle some stuff. A Cheesecake Factory was nearby, so me and 6yo had lunch there. The waiter sat some people next to us after we'd ordered. It was a friend who lived far away too. What are the chances?

6yo is certain that stickers that go on cars are not called bumper stickers. So certain that she has declared that she's going to record herself asking various people what it's called and they're going to say car sticker.
Good luck with that kid 🤣

I definitely did not expect to have a discussion about the family you're given and rhe family you choose with 6yo last night. I didn't know she was having since inner turmoil and confusion.
Anyway she has claimed one of my good friends as an auntie lol

the fraction of parents reading to their 0-4 year old kids frequently has apparently fallen by 23 POINTS since 2012 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...
Most parents don’t enjoy reading to their children, survey suggests
Report from Nielsen and HarperCollins shows that parents see reading as a literacy skill, rather than something to encourage their children to love

What I love about Kagi is that when a site makes me super mad, I can just ban it from my search results. I love never seeing spam sites again

6yo had a sleep over and I thought it would be fine, but it turns out that mixing more than 2 parenting styles is a horrible thing to deal with.
I now empathize with teachers even more than I did
