I hate giving students grades for things. There are high school students were not prepared for a college level math course and I feel like I am being mean to children.

My 4yo daughter, looking at a tricycle: "Is this a motorcycle?"
Me: "It's a tricycle."
My daughter, skeptical: "Let's just call it a 'cycle', okay?"
I wonder what this sort of thing will look like when she's a teenager haha

In my mind I often hear Michael Ironside saying "You know what to do!" like he did in Starship Troopers.
E.g. when I see some bread that has mold on it or realize a pen doesn't work anymore.

I drove from northern Washington to southern Oregon and have to drive back in the morning. My body is doing a prank where it's not letting me sleep at all, despite being very interested in sleeping when I checked into my room.

"Is space a Time Machine?" is what my daughter just asked me. I said "no but kind of I guess," thinking of that time dilation stuff I don't understand. She's four I'm sure she'll figure it out.

My daughter is playing with a toy snake on my desk. Every so often it falls and she says, "SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!" and I flash back to my own death in Metal Gear Solid 2

My 6yo tried to describe what you have to do in The Legend of Zelda to his mom but he said "Italian" instead of "medallion"

I think none of the kids at daughter's preschool knew who John Waters is because no one commented on how I made John Waters.

My kid just told me "Don't worry. It isn't your fault. It's the way things are made's fault."

Is there a term for a daydream that's sort of a nightmare? I was letting my mind wander while looking through my albums and I accidentally imagined being stuck at dinner with Billy Corgan and Lars Ulrich and I have to listen to their opinions on everything and I have to stay while they debate.

Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

Today my daughter literally fell to her knees and wept because I said we couldn’t keep dancing.
Am I the villain? It was past bedtime and she was definitely tired. Also 3 years old. But I’m still sort of worried that I’m the villain.

The other day my daughter said “I can’t say…spa…tee” or something close. She sounded and looked pissed off in a way I find incredibly relatable. While looking pissed she said “spa…get..tee. Spaghetti!” Then she celebrated. I am sincerely very proud of her. I'm excited to see who she chooses to be.

What did one cat say to the other cat?
It’s Easter! Can we do an Easter hunt?

I walked in the room to hear my six year old telling my 3 year old “To my standards…pizza is better than quesadilla.”

The internet used to feel like this endless, open thing to explore. Now it feels like sitting in a shitty little box.

My daughter made up a joke:
Why did the teeth jump out of the person’s mouth?
Because they just…jumped out of the mouth and…went out of the…house.

My daughter and I made this art together. The medium is paint on an old lid. The one with glasses is meant to be a self portrait but I don’t really have a perfectly round haircut so it’s off

Here is a joke:
A liberal orders a drink. The bartender says “I want you to die. I am putting poison in your drink.” The liberal says “How about half the poison instead?” The bartender says no and the liberal dies feeling smug because they exposed the bartender’s unwillingness to compromise.

I've been trying to figure out a way to talk to my kid about not panicking in a way that didn't make it seem like I was annoyed that he was upset. I ended up landing on "let's think like a secret agent, what would they do? They'd stay calm...and come up with a plan..." and it worked and I feel good
