Not actually a chickadee, but I am small and loud and like food.

(Also I'm aware my profile bird isn't a chickadee.)
My 4 year old absolutely schools us in UNO. Like one or more adults has UNO and he has 6 cards, then BAM, he pulls out the Cinderella victory.

Found my old copy of this when I went home to visit family. Rereading before the series finale of #StrangerThings.

Remember, kids: press play on Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" at exactly 11:56:20 on New Year's Eve to get that iconic drum fill when the ball drops.

Went to visit my parents and found my old baby doll, which my creative self named Yellow Baby.

Thankfully not named for questionable reasons, but because of its yellow dress.

Nothing like sitting outside, drinking a Tom Collins, eating sausage balls, and playing with a stomp-powered rocket while wearing shorts and a t-shirt on *checks notes* Christmas Day.

There needs to be a Christmas movie where someone from a magical Christmas wonderland town up north moves south and is shocked that it's 65 degrees on Christmas and everyone's just sitting outside drinking cold beer while eating their weight in sausage balls.

I'll never forget that I found out the truth about Santa when I was 6ish because my brother's present had a Radio Shack sticker on it, and Santa doesn't need to go there because he has a workshop.

And other Millennial tales.

Kid: Mom, what kind of bird is this?

Me: A long-tailed meadowlark.

Kid: Dad! Come see the long male tailbird!

I need a remake of "The Phony King of England" from Robin Hood, but regarding the current administration.

There should be more movie adaptations of classic novels that are narrated by Gonzo with color commentary by Rizzo the Rat.

I'm always amused at the people on House Hunters International that choose the too-small, over budget, city center place instead of the affordable, large, suburban place, all so they can go to local shops and restaurants.

WITH WHAT MONEY, BRENDA. YOU DON'T WORK AND YOUR HUSBAND'S IN GRAD SCHOOL.

Dinosaur Train is just a spinoff of Doctor Who.

Change my mind.

We buy the Costco-sized box of Welch's fruit snacks all the time, as my kiddo (and my husband and I, tbh) love them. You get 10 fruit snacks per pack.

Yesterday I decided to be festive and buy a box of holiday-themed fruit snacks. You only get 7 fruit snacks per pack.

Buncha bullshit.

My kid: I watched Superman. He saves people.
Me: Oh? How does he do that?
My kid: He grabs people, throws them down, and they died.

I have questions.
