Getting the toddler to say 6 7 while making that accompanying juggling motion is how I got the teen to stop, so this has merit.
The downside is that the toddler is a perpetual sound machine.

Resolved to do a frozen dinner thxgvg to be low key this year but everyone can request that things be home made. So far the requests are:
Stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie, cranberry sauce, duck instead of turkey (that’s been rejected). At this point the only thing left is like the rolls.

This is why the teen was never allowed to have messenger kids, Roblox, minecraft. Basically anything with shared UGC.

Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
