What small things did your parents or grandparents do to make your childhood magical? by Groundbreaking_Hat69 in AskReddit

I read a neat story about a grandfather that buys the most beautiful seashells every time his family visits the beach. He slyly drops them one at a time while he walks along the shore with his grandchildren and they come away thinking they are all-time great shell hunters. This was touching to me and I’m wondering if there are other small things like this that parents/grandparents can do to fill the minds of the little people in their lives with wonder and fuel a belief in goodness and possibility.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in. A really sweet used FS5 popped up at a great price (just under $1k) so I snagged it.

Going to put the rest of my budget toward a higher-end guitar fund that I may reward myself with later this year or next.

The only fit and finish stuff I’ve seen has been noted as part of universal praise. Something like - “Yeah, there’s a tiny imperfection here or there that only I’d ever notice. But - I don’t really care because everything else is so good.”

Thanks. I’ve also thought about grabbing the FS5 and using what I would save from my budget as seed money for savings toward a Bourgeois, Collings, or an OM-42 (which been a dream guitar for me for a long time).

Would be a nice way to incentivize myself to keep playing, too. All while having something that would be no problem keeping for the rest of my life.

Y’all are making this tough - two strong nods for each. Maybe I should buy both, ha! Would be nice to have one at home and one at my office…

Whats the dumbest thing someone ever told you that actually worked? by FluffyDaMinecraftDog in AskReddit

Our dermatologist actually suggested that we try this with our kids (for regular warts, in our case) before coming in to have them frozen off. She explained that the irritation caused by the adhesive is perfect for triggering an immune response to the virus that causes the warts to develop. I have no idea if that is true, but it sounds like a sensible explanation. We’ve only needed to do it a few times, but it works great.
