<whispers_in_poet> The syllable count in haiku is a myth… </end_poet_whispers>

But your haiku are great! 😊

Level of parental exhaustion: through the roof

Joke’s on us. Multiple children made it to county. Two more weeks of winter…I mean swim season.

From the parent still at the swim meet…truuuuuuuuuuuth! 😂

That is so sweet! I’m glad I’m not the only one whose child adopted a squash! 😂 It was wonderful to find a story that so paralleled our own. As soon as I closed the book my little one opened it and said, “Now read it again!”

(…and we have a couple pumpkin plants sprouting in our garden!) 🌱

Not sure how I’ll read the whole thing out loud, but we will power through. 😂 I’m sure there’s a beautiful ending.

Wait…you had a “TAYLOR!” moment, too?

Hate to break it to you but *that* is a painting…

That was dreamed up by the 7 y.o. himself.
