My husband: I'm 40 now. It turns out all the good ideas happened when I was 27. Everything since is a mistake
Me: what about our kids? 🤨

this is boggling.
Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

My son and I were walking through the mall when he spotted an elderly man eating takeout in a vibrating chair.

Parenting tweens is WILD. Today my 12yo made homemade butterfingers that tasted awesome.
Yesterday I discovered he hadn't washed his hair in a week because "we're out of shampoo." (Spoiler alert: we are not.)

"People sometimes present the Nazis as a horror because they were uniquely evil and headed a uniquely oppressive and totalizing regime. But often the most chilling thing about Nazi Germany is that it really wasn’t a fantasy movie dystopia populated by supervillains. The Nazis were just people."

THIS FLEW UNDER THE RADAR
Members of the German neo-Nazi political group AfD plan to attend Trump’s inauguration.
They’ve actively been engaging with U.S. conservatives & trying to capitalize on Trump’s momentum. Keep an eye on this, especially in light of Elon’s newly discovered support of AfD.

My family gathered around the Bluetooth speaker to hear my story live on The Moth Radio hour.
Afterwards I asked my kids, “did anything about that story surprise you?”
My 12yo: “yeah. That other people think you're funny.”
