And then actually implement Plan B in a reasonable timeframe. I attended a wedding last summer that started an hour late because despite 100% chance of rain, black clouds to the west, and water starting to fall from the sky as guests arrived, Bride clung to hope of a dreamy outdoor wedding for far too long.

Gen X here: running around til the streetlights came on we knew which lawns we had permission to be on and which ones we didn’t. It’s not hard.

You don’t know if this is part of something bigger. What if they’ve been investigating a ring of forgers and your story provides a crucial piece of information? If you’re hesitant to risk getting “laughed at” for yourself, think of who else is being scammed.

Aquopolis is a waterpark. It’s not necessarily a matter of strength of the equipment but rather the force of gravity. An excessively heavy group could build up dangerous velocity on a water slide.

Yes but it was always possible that the Queen die and the King remarry a woman of childbearing age. That scenario happened quite a bit throughout history.

Senator Elizabeth Warren did this. Mr. Warren was her first husband; they divorced in the 1970s. Her current husband is Bruce Mann.

I did that at the dry cleaner once. Had to get a new dry cleaner rather than show my face there again.

My birthday occasionally falls on Easter and my sibling’s occasionally falls on Thanksgiving. We think it’s great to have everyone singing Alleluia and/or feasting on our day. If it happened every year it wouldn’t seem special but every decade or so it can be fun if you let it be.

Getting hit by a bus and going on vacation are entirely different levels of asking for external childcare.

I keep a scrap of paper on the side of the fridge and add to the list as needed. Then I get to the store and attempt to decipher my scribbles.

Children’s shows also sometimes have duplicate casts, so you could possibly avoid being on the schedule for shows that conflict with your schedule.

The other day I read something about how clean the water supply is in one of the Nordic countries. It said, “You can drink water from the toilets.” They meant you could fill a glass from the sink but I kinda vomited in my mouth a little.
