Random reason to be up in the middle of the night:
Kiddo is upset the Gabby’s Dollhouse movie is over because she’s missing her new fav movie. Conversation somehow morphed into if there’s going to be a phones movie & if phones can move in real life & how can they cut the red wire w no hands 🤣

Interrupting 🐮/Chicken/Goat variations no longer getting the full belly laughs response kiddo is looking for. Decides to vary the joke by returning to the Interrupting 🐮 version but this time, she sings! 🎶 Moo, moo, MOO, moo, Moo! 🎶

Parents make sure your kids are caught up on their vaccine schedules. Politicians & the wealthy will ensure their kids are vaccinated because they know vaccines work. If any outbreaks occur they will be the first to flee to countries with high vax rates or shut themselves up in high security estates

All developed countries have rigorous vaccination requirements & most have better health outcomes than ours. So obv not the vaccines that are making Americans sick. Could it be our lack of universal healthcare? You’d think rfk jr would be curious about exploring that possible link, but he’s a quack
