I'm disturbed by the color of the water that I poured off after Elmo's 24-hour Oxi Clean soak but I'm gonna attempt to pull an RFKJr and blame the red dye

People are clutching their pearls over the colorful language in The Life of a Showgirl as if Taylor Swift is new to this. Like I'm sorry did we or did we not have "I laugh because he's so damn funny" in Teardrops on My Guitar???? 😱

"What's it like doing reenacting events with little kids?"

Panicking because your clothes that you made for a pre-babies body are too small now, mostly

"No one is talking about THIS experience," she mutters feverishly, measuring and cutting fabric for a new pair of 1850s split drawers two nights before a living history museum event, after realizing that the pair she made in 2017, 4 sizes ago, no longer fit and one *has* to have unmentionables

I'm using an oxi clean solution now, will report back!

Right???? Why doesn't every electronic toy do this??? There's even a ribbon inside Elmo that can be threaded and tied through a loop on the box so little hands can't easily open the velcro and pull it out.

I borrowed an audiobook of The Princess Bride from Libby and was enjoying Rob Reiner's narration but something didn't feel... quite right? Wait several parts were missing--

It was an abridged version.

No, no. Yes, I know. Not like that.

This was, literally, an ABRIDGED VERSION. 😤

I would expand that to say any eldest daughter (though not eldest child) who's been parentified for the sake of younger siblings 💀

His name isn't actually Ben, it's just the name I use for him online 😂 but I do really like the name!

Overheard from my elder son re: my younger son: "That's my brother Ben. He's two. His favorite word is 'no.'"
