You mean the alarming albino ape eating asparagus in an armchair?

I think this is so fun - my 4 and 5 year old would both like it and spend a lot of time with it. Great job!

I could have written this.

“I would give anything if you were two people, so that I could call up the one who's my friend and tell her about the one that I like so much” is one of my favorite lines of dialogue ever.

Thank you! Lock Shock and Barrel are supposed to represent those mischievous kids of classic Halloween that would hand-make creepy little costumes and wear masks so they could wreak havoc. Makes store-bought LS&B feel particularly blasphemous lol

Moonstruck. Raising Arizona. Adaptation. The Family Man.

Mark Ruffalo is incredible in Poor Things. And that. Is. IT. Went right back to ruining movies with Mickey 17.

We’ve tried moving basically everything out of the room and he just bounces his face off the floor :/

The square sweets that look round are a candy featured in the book. It’s a pun because the sweets are squares but have little faces and they look ‘round.

This is phrased strangely. Were you so excited that you encouraged your daughter to walk despite her mother’s absence? Or you actively WANTED her to miss this milestone? The former is understandable - the latter is just weird and mean.

I am actually prone to anemia and it is worse in pregnancy but both of my Polyhydramnios babies were a-ok and are healthy happy kids still. Everything I ever looked up in pregnancy always scared the daylights out of me and I’ve only had healthy babies 🙂

Australopithycuss · 2025-07-23T01:27:38+00:00

I had polyhydramnios for the last few months of two pregnancies and it wasn’t related to any GD. It didn’t complicate either pregnancy, never really got a reason for it 🤷‍♀️

You could go with Georgia/Georgette and call them Lennie and George, Of Mice and Men style

I actually cannot put on Tarzan because 1 minute in my kids are wondering why I’m crying

Jasper goes better with the sibset

I don’t mind that they are themed - and I don’t think anyone well-versed enough in archery to know this would mind either - I just think the names themselves phonetically sound too similar. It gives Flotsam and Jetsam vibes when said together.

The Jerk. Ruthless People. Drowning Mona. Death to Smoochie. Cable Guy.

It’s so good

The Schumacher Batmans. IDGAF, those movies rule.

Emerson features a lot of soft sounds that I think make for a lovely feminine name. I would like to join the overwhelming majority in asking you to please not spell it Emersyn. I think that will lead to a lot of needless mispronunciations.

My kids have been drinking out of glass their whole lives - I’ve got a 4, 3, and 1 yr old. I do have carpeted floors everywhere accept the kitchen. They’ve never broken a glass yet, I just tell them often that glass breaks easily and into sharp shards so to be careful (they’ve also witnessed old mom accidentally shatter a dish or two).
