My dad, Mark, does it, too, but he's only ever been married to my mother, who was & remains his 1st wife, so it's equally off-kilter & inappropriate, & he also has to explain way more than bask in laughter & approbation of a good joke 😅
I don't like him, but we're alike.

I don’t have a lot of happy childhood memories, but one of my favorite things in the world when I was ~10-12 was traveling around on Saturday mornings to local Toys R Us stores and beating dudes 3-4 times my age in #PokémonTCG.
It always delighted me what sore losers they were, too 😆

You were the EiC??
I wasn’t very political or well-liked, so I only rose to the position I petitioned to create, Blog Editor/Online Editor (I did a bunch of web-only stuff, which wasn’t even that forward-thinking in 2012), and the EiC was pissed I made it onto the editorial board 🤓

Here’s a weird piece of my #personallore:
For reasons that were, & remain, a mystery, I DEMANDED that my parents get me the #JamesBrown Complete Box Set when I was, like, 7 or 8.
I fucking LOVED it!

“I should NOT have eaten all that #chocolate,” is a thing I find myself saying to myself, like, 4-6 times a week 😑
Also, #personallore: my mom used to stare quizzically at me until I’d go, “What?!” every time I ate chocolate, then she’d say, “you like chocolate more than any boy I’ve ever known.” 🏳️⚧️

I've never been invited to a #wedding. Privately, internally, I want so badly to celebrate someone's #marriage with them! And I'm a huge, sentimental romantic who thinks every marriage will make it & I always root for love.

Now, folks seem to know better, but ALL the time when I was a kid, people would ask me:

And I always thought it was the dumbest fucking question I'd ever heard, every time, bc how could you BE either without being the other? 🤔

Chloe thought you were a #BlackCat and so she gave you a (her words) Black Name, and when I adopted you bc she ran off to college without a plan for your care, I didn't feel comfortable explaining that to everyone who met you.
That's why we also call you Hamlet 🤓

I don't want to be pedantic, especially to someone who has quickly become one of our favorites at KC&Cc, but it IS pronounced:
Boh-MAHN-ee.
And it's a proud name. Kay's sister, Chloe (mom!) gave it to me, & it means 'warrior' in Swahili 😤
Kay appended the '-Hamlet' to the end of it

The conditions of one’s birth - country, parents’ wealth and education, language, etc. - are the biggest lottery ticket you never paid for. To be proud of any of it or look down on others’ lot is the pinnacle of delusion.

Two questions:
Why would the term “bleet” be better than “skeet”? It’s the sound a sheep makes
And
How many parties do you get invited to?
