My kids react to the news that we're going to the dentist not with fear or trepidation but with downright glee
Just got 日本語上手'd by a bunch of elementary kids :/ kinda ticks me off to be honest...
I don't think I'll ever stop first parsing シティ as "shitty" instead of "city"
It smells SO GOOD in the chocolate factory. Man I could live in here. It's like being in a giant hot chocolate
When I was a kid: Yay! Summer! Outside all the time yay! Now:
The kids will talk between themselves in English but the moment someone else joins in their game, they immediately code switch to Japanese, it's almost funny
We bought a Switch 2 before the price hike, but kept it secret until 8 started summer vacation. He's now been told that he'll get to play with it once his summer homework is done. He now attempts to do homework every waking second lol
8 has been gradually switching from 僕 to 俺 which is kinda 😭
Watching Paw Patrol: WOULD Y'ALL STOP CALLING EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR DUMB SHIT
8 today did "American janken" which is news to me and also apparently just reverse janken (rock beats paper, scissors beats rock, paper beats scissors). I asked him why it's specifically "American" and not just "backwards" or whatever and he just kinda shrugged at me
There's something oddly surreal yet comforting about seeing a complete stranger post on a great x however grandparent's memorial. We will never know each other, but we are connected in this one moment and through this one person who gave us both life.
For years my dad has told the story of how his grandad and grandmom had an ongoing feud about who came from the better family, and how pissed she was when he found out he was French aristocracy, to the point where she threw his genealogy research into the fire after he died.
Nothing like looking at an old script and realizing I've been misspelling a series-critical term for the past few years. oTL
Fuuuuuuuuuuu I forgot my dentist appointment yesterday daaaaaaaammmmmmmmmiittttttttt
Thanks to Canadian @shiventaneja.bsky.social for developing these instructions. The CR Box has a high clean air delivery rate for particles in the size ranges of wildfire smoke & should remove a large amount of heavier organic gas-phase components. All at a fraction of cost of other air cleaners.

I still have bookmarks back from high school that I can't be arsed to get rid of so sometimes when searching for something I get blindsided by the browser recommending smutty Inu-Yasha fanfic
Guys? Guys! The bowling pins are in the OTHER DIRECTION
Talking to 8 this morning about old (to him) technology Me: You know Gran's first phone only made phone calls. 8: No messages? Me: Nope. 8: No bar code reader?
Going to start a new thread to journal some of the batshit things 3 has done
Watching something with a toku vet and he's acting all dramatic and noble and I'm like, you can't fool me, I know you, you're a total weirdo
What's the protocol when yuruchara go somewhere requiring protective equipment? Does the person inside have to wear a hard hat as well or is the giant one on the character's head good enough? What about life vests?
A rather successful PGO day yesterday with a hundo Mewtwo! Unfortunately also found out that sometime within the past few weeks 3 must have used my master ball on some ザコ without my realizing :/
8.5 mile bike ride there and back in the rain to get the stupid backpack at the dentist's. Had to take a shower immediately after arriving home because I was dripping with sweat. Caught a lot of Dunsparce though so ✌️
Minor crisis this morning as 8 did not want to bring his old Anpanman (childish, uncool) water bottle to school, but it seemed he would have no choice since he forgot his Pokemon (mature, suave) water bottle at the dentist on Tuesday.
Construction down the street lets off intermittent drill noises that reverberate in such a way that they come through my window sounding like the fucking war horns of Sauron. If I were a medieval peasant this would definitely trigger some PTSD
