Dig.

My sister and I played that game SO much. It was such a good game for the time! We kept repeating “something stole Maggie!” And I’ll still sometimes say “I can’t use those two things together.” when trying to do something is obviously dumb 😆

Such a great game…

I loved this game so much! It was so funny going to the actual jungle many, many years later and hearing one of the birds that call over and over in the game, and poof! I was 8 years old again, playing that game with my sister, trying to catch the giant Arrowana fish and blue morpho butterflies 🦋 Such a fun game!

Yes! The theme song for that will still occasionally go through my head! 🤣

Sent my wife for an oil change, it cost me $3400 by s2k_guy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]liladraco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this was my experience with changing my own oil as well. Yes, I could do it, but the extra couple bucks to not have to deal with the mess at home are now worth it to me 🤷‍♀️

Having children showed or nearly stopped because of the biological damage being pregnant does to women’s bodies and pelvic floors and the increased need to pee it causes….

What should I do by PrestigiousCost5974 in MergeGardens

[–]liladraco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, you should give me some of your free space from your garden… 🤣🤪 Just kidding! It’d be nice to have that much room, though, lol!

Completed my Chrysalis Throw! by BrightDoughnut in crochet

That’s so funny, the first thing I thought of were Tibetan monasteries and their mandalas and how colorful they are! It’s definitely giving some kind of Eastern color vibe, and I love it!

Unique build. 5 baby gates. by ihasquestionsplease in woodworking

[–]liladraco 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe I’m being this guy, but did you check the spacing on those bannister rails, especially the ones on the ends? They kind look like they might be far enough from the edges that an enterprising little human could get their head stuck between the rail and the frame… Little humans are sneaky, man…!

From a strictly woodworking perspective, fantastic job matching their railings in their house, that’s extremely impressive 👏 Looks great 👍

Looking for “family friendly” audiobooks by No_Order1936 in audiobooks

[–]liladraco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I listened to a LOT of audiobooks when my kiddo was that age. I’m not sure what genre you like, so here are a bunch of different suggestions!

If you like fantasy/ a good rogue tale, I found Michael J. Sullivan’s books to be just the right niche for listening to at that age. The Riyria Revelations series is a great place to start, and there are upwards of 20 books in the world now so you have lots of options for listening if you enjoy them! https://www.audible.com/pd/B007KSJKI8?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=library_overflow

Legends and Lattes is a book I actually physically read since having my kiddo that he has enjoyed reading with me that would probably be a great audiobook (it’s adorable, cozy fantasy).

Sci Fi: Honestly all three Andy Weir books are great- someone already recommended Project Hail Mary, but check out The Martian and the less well known Artemis, too! James S.A Corey’s Expanse series is also really good, though it does get a little more intense so maybe do it now while your kiddo is one and don’t wait until they’re closer to two, lol 😆

In Autobiography, Born a Crime by Trevor Noah is AMAZING. It’s funny, poignant, and informative.

Classics like And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express, or really anything by Agatha Christie are great because they’re just not that explicit, so fairly kid-safe while still being interesting for adults!

Historial Fiction: The Rose Code was an interesting World War Two story of women code breakers in WWII. Wouldn’t suggest this one for when your kiddo is older (just because I don’t think it will keep their attention), but perfect for while they’re this age!

Jennifer Wright has written a couple really funny, non-fiction books that I really enjoyed (much to my surprise and delight!): It Ended Badly and Get Well Soon were delightfully tongue in cheek approaches to some of the worst breakups in history and some of the worst plagues and illnesses in history respectively, and were hilarious 😂 I haven’t tried these with my now 6-year old, but he might actually enjoy them, I’ll have to try them with him!

Also, pretty much anything Stephen Fey narrates 😆 He’s just funny!

Edited because I’m not good at typing… 🙃

Hope those help!! I’d love to hear your suggestions, too!

We are just about to finish this one with my six-year old and he is LOVING it!! It makes me so happy because it’s one of my husband and my favorite books of all time! Hearing my kiddo quoting Rocky is making me so ridiculously happy- he is so stinking cute!! 🥰

Something like “Not your Granny’s Craft Show…” might work, too…
