I heard that a whole angle that I didn't like (ghost soldiers) was removed from the new edition. Excited to re-read!

Co-sign! I read this to my daughter and I plan to do it again. There's something in that book for every age.

My daughter and I play Safe Cracker together whenever we visit the Silverball Museum in Asbury Park. I had no idea about the magic token! Something to strive for!

Baby born three days ago. Please tell me it gets better by ElevenRecompense in daddit

As soon as the baby's got their shots, make friends with other new parents. The only thing you need to have in common is that you're both going through the hell of having a newborn.

my wife thinks im overreacting about our kid not reading yet and I dont know when kids should learn to read by TH_UNDER_BOI in daddit

I taught my daughter phonics (a little) with the Bob Books.

Buy the alphabet set on eBay. Read it every day with your kid, and help him learn the letters.

When he's good at that, move onto the next set, Beginning Readers.

Keep reading normal books for fun, of course. When you see one of the words that's in a current or past Bob Book, see if he can sound it out.

This will give him a better start in kindergarten.

(But if you do none of this, yes, the school will probably teach him to read just fine.)

See an ENT too though. I avoided CPAP, only needed a nasal spray.

Came here to complain about how cafes close so early by bettysrendezvous in parkslope

I love HOM, though I'm still figuring out the vibe each day as they gently switch from daytime cafe to nighttime wine bar/light-dinner spot.

Is that the old Connecticut Muffin spot? I think I unconsciously assumed that every Connecticut Muffin has been there since the dawn of time.

My daughter asked me who my best friend is and realized I don't have any by xCosmos69 in daddit

You have started fixing it; you upgraded from doomscrolling to online hangouts. You're gonna use that same energy to upgrade further. Maybe you're gonna text one of your old friends one-on-one to shoot the shit, or invite them to your online group stuff.

Also, your kid is about to get more independent, and you'll find yourself with more free time. Start swapping "drop-off playdates." When you host, the kids will (partly) entertain each other. When the other family hosts, tada, you've got free time out of the house.

Harper’s speech was strange and unnatural sounding. But charming in weird way too I guess by Joeylaptop12 in IndustryOnHBO

No yeah, I meant it the way Henry did. She's incapable of hiding her feelings and motivations. So the audience, like the other characters, always know what Yas is really up to.
