Me: With cardboard? I don't think that would do very well in space.

Child (with utmost disdain): you don't know that's not magic cardboard.

And ya know what, they're right. I didn't check that the cardboard wasn't magic before I doubted its ability to go to space.

But thank goodness he explained it to me, or however would I have known what was happening? /s

I personally find it more palatable when I mentally pronounce "female" like "tamale."

I still have a shelf of the magic school books, and I don't read them but also don't want to put them out into the world. Should we make art from the pages? IDK

I think the consensus baseline is "don't give the POS more money." But I still haven't figured out what to do with previously purchased books that I no longer enjoy. I think you're still okay to enjoy them privately without giving more money or encouraging new readers, but I can't enjoy them.

I feel called out
