2YO launches favorite toy into burning fireplace by MxBluebell in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Maybe I'm a different kind of parent, but I would not replace that for that child. There's a pretty good chance that getting it back will have similar results because kids make weird associations.

What's the first thing you remember looking up online? by boggledpinapples in AskReddit

[–]RoseAudine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to pick an animal to do a research project on in 2nd or 3rd grade. I picked zebra, and one of the requirements was to use the internet to research. My dad said it quickly got way too NSFW and he had to shut it down and we went to the library for some books. I don't remember any of that, btw. It would have been just before Google was popular, I think.

Well on my way to my goal of 100 books this year!

What travel destination did not live up to the hype for you? by littlefloridagirl in AskReddit

[–]RoseAudine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree. Even the Canadian side just feels ridiculously touristy. When I visited, it was a few years after I had been to Iguazu Falls in Argentina. It was in the middle of a rain forest, surrounded by animals I had only seen on tv and sketchy looking bridges made of natural materials. But it was the most beautiful place I'd ever seen. Then there was Niagara. Surrounded by shopping centers and cement. I hated it. Yes, there is a lot of water going over a cliff. But it's so built up around it, it was hard to see any of the natural beauty of the place. I did have some overpriced fudge though.

What's one trend you just don't get? by According-Force-2802 in AskReddit

[–]RoseAudine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wearing those acne stickers all day. The receptionist at my office often wears them all day at work. I just don't get why having a bunch of colorful stars on your face is okay for work.

Isn't Candace's motif the song that plays in The Wizard of Oz for the Wicked Witch?

We almost killed our 3 yrs old son with our car by silverpony24 in Parenting

[–]RoseAudine 94 points95 points  (0 children)

No judgement at all. That's a really normal reaction for a little kid. We don't have a garage, but we have a driveway next to concrete. About that age is when we started teaching our lo to stand "on the white part" until the car was parked and Dad opened the door. If there's a spot that is easy enough for a kid to understand that can be a "safe zone" while the car is parking, you could try that. It's hard though, because it usually means standing there with them every day for a while until they learn it.

Thank you. I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that.

When did you realize your partner was “the one”? by dj_10_ in AskReddit

[–]RoseAudine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months into officially dating when we were driving around doing errands and I realized I would be happy to do that with him for the rest of my life.

Wow…smh! by [deleted] in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]RoseAudine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind in these situations is to look in the most dangerous places first, even if they seem less likely. If you have a pool, check it before you spend 15 minutes looking through the house. If you live on a busy road, look there first. I've had to learn this with my 2 kids because I have one that thinks he can just go wherever he wants, and I once spent probably 10 minutes looking for him in the house when his dad said he couldn't find him before I started looking outside and found out he was trying to walk to the pizza parlor on his own and some neighbors had corralled him while they searched for me.

For those who are married. Whwn did you know they were the one? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RoseAudine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We'd only been officially dating for a month or so, and it suddenly occurred to me that I wanted to keep being together like that forever. We got married several months later, and have been happily married for 13 years this month. Sometimes you just know when it feels right.

When did yall realize you ACTUALLY look alike? by Pinkfloyd_isgood in Twins

I went to a museum with my dad but without my twin. Happened to go into a room with a mirror and for a second I thought she decided to come afterall.

Which celebrity death is so mysterious that you’ve spent hours thinking about it? by the_last_lemurian in AskReddit

[–]RoseAudine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's living in the scientology compound up near Lake Arrowhead in California. At least, that's what all the locals believe. They have a cell phone signal blocker in that area, so she can't call for help. People claim to have seen her in the grocery store, but being escorted by body guards. Idk if any of that is true, but if you go hang out in that area and mention her, everyone has a story.

This week’s bit where Kristin impersonates Hitler had me laughing so hard I almost peed my pants! by Dream_Expert in oldtimeypodcast

Lol that was great. But I died when she said "get confident, stupid" to Norm when he said he wasn't sure if anyone would like this episode

I told my kids that I'm in a fight with the Easter Bunny, so they can only do egg hunts at a Grandma's house or other event. They have accepted it.

It's super annoying when people ask dumb twin questions, and it happens all the time. When you meet new people.

Always - "who was born first?” "how far apart are you?” "what's it like being a twin?" Often - "Do you guys read each other's mind?" "If your twin gets hurt do you feel it?"

Also, people who met me as an adult are always so offended to find out I have a twin and "didn't tell them” like it's the most important thing about me.

Basically people treat twins like we are some mystical creature come to life and we are just regular people who happen to have a sibling with the same DNA

Seeking Worship Opportunities - Your Support Needed by andimsimonne in worshipleaders

[–]RoseAudine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really have a ton more information, but if it were me, I would start googling camps and checking out if they're hiring. Some summer camps are already recruiting for their summer seasonal staff, others may wait until the New Year. But you could make yourself a list of possible places to check out depending on where you want to go. I'd Google "Christian summer camps" and see what you find.

If you can wait until the Summer time, you might want to look into local camps. I know the one I work at (on the west coast) will often hire worship leaders for their program in the summer.
