Yes, there are different types and the quality varies within those. A drop biscuit is more similar to a savory scone than the laminated biscuits Jamelle posted. But ... even drop biscuits should (unless old / bad) have a different texture and moisture content than scones.

I started to think "Oh, and 3yos! It's so magical at 3!!!" but then I just kept going... So many years of delight. Christmas with little ones is so wonderful. ... Youngest is a preteen now, and I won't minimize that fun, but it's sure different.

Last year it would have been hard for me to imagine not shopping at Target weekly or more. … Now, as others have said, it’s not possible for me to shop Less, but I’ll give it a go.

My then 3yo, death-staring at the ped who had asked her fav “healthy” food. 6yo hopping up and down, “Tell her you eat broccoli! You Like broccoli!” 3yo, quietly vicious, “Cin.na.mon rolls. … Donuts.” 6yo, whimpering, “Broccoli…”

I think that's totally true, but Mamdani also handled him really well. He didn't bow and scrape *or* try to fight him. He did exactly what he did so well through the campaign -- he stood strong, smiled, stuck to his talking points, refused to get derailed, and was generally charming.
