My eldest was climbing up slides before he could walk.

Denver, Colorado. English. I also taught kids ages 0-6 for years so those books probably solidified it as meow.

I’m sorry! That one is next on my list. My pharmacy says they can give it to me if I request it. They just can’t “recommend” it.

Exactly. My son asked “Which one can help prevent cancer? I definitely want that one.”

Did this for my older son this week. Dr started saying “I know the HPV is kind of controversial…” He was a little shocked that we wanted everything he was eligible for this visit. I am also getting all the shots and boosters that I can for myself.

Anna Karenina might work, especially an audiobook in Russian. I’ve used a book in French to put mine to sleep.

My boys are convinced their current never-ending cough comes from eating their boogers. I knew a P.E. teacher who was convinced this was where our next pandemic would come from (circa 2007).

If they get their way, I fear nowhere in the country will be safe. Sure, some states may try their best to protect public schools but that will only go so far.
