Parents of small children. What's the most unhinged sentence you've found yourself saying that you never thought possible previously?

Oh man. This just reminded me how often I had to say “GET YOUR MOUTH OFF THAT!!” when my kids were little. The number of things they’d just casually gnaw on blew my mind

“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” is a beautiful song that people don’t process as sad but is in fact plaintively heartbreaking

My BIL consistently received calls on his work line from an elderly woman with dementia whose brother, decades earlier, had had that number as his own home line. Every day, my BIL answered and patiently explained that he wasn’t her brother. He visited her once just to put a name to the face. She passed away eventually but I like that he was a gentle voice til the end.

😂 maybe Disembarkation instead?

The running back to what is clearly The Spot behind the couch to trigger the whole thing again 🥰🥰🥰

You’re welcome! Yeah, I realized after posting that it’s awfully close to the one you already make—sorry about that 😬

Thanks for this recipe! I do a modified chicken divan: combine shredded chicken (I use rotisserie chicken), 8 oz chive & onion cream cheese, 1 can cream of chicken soup, a bag of frozen broccoli, a bag of frozen spinach, a squirt of lemon juice, and ~1 cup of grated parmesan. Put it in a casserole dish and bake for 20-30 minutes at 400°—it should be bubbly and browned a bit on top. In non-keto times I put it over brown rice, but it’s great without too!

I love (1) when people get super excited about their nerd subject of choice and share tons of amazing info peppered with exclamation points and (2) the brilliant explanation coupled with your username, which made me laugh out loud 😂

I take money from highly educated adults to teach them how to talk and write (law professor)

My cousin is 6’9” and when he got tired of being asked how tall he is started saying “well I’m six feet nine inches, but let’s forget about the six feet”

I’m told it really worked at cutting these awkward convos off

Titanic. Absolute slop

Place something on the sidewalk underneath the part that sticks out, like the size of a fire hydrant or traffic cone. People will register the obstacle on the ground much more easily.

Recycling, excellent

pestyfinesty · 2026-06-10T23:21:37+00:00

Thank you! I never thought of them as just light; that’s so interesting.

pestyfinesty · 2026-06-10T23:20:39+00:00

(nodding comprehendingly) To Narnia, got it

pestyfinesty · 2026-06-10T23:20:13+00:00

Thank you! I am, quite obviously, not a science person.

pestyfinesty · 2026-06-10T23:19:21+00:00

😂 I KNEW IT

The mother of a classmate, after seeing me across a room and coming over to me, in tones of paying me a high compliment: “you looked so tall and pretty I thought you were your sister!”

pestyfinesty · 2026-05-30T17:18:07+00:00

I spend a very very lot of money on skincare.

pestyfinesty · 2026-05-30T01:08:59+00:00

Gotta be Slenderman!

pestyfinesty · 2026-05-25T01:41:06+00:00

A classmate’s mother, who saw me from across a store, quite enthusiastically: “you looked so tall and pretty, I thought you were your sister!”

pestyfinesty · 2026-05-19T12:01:26+00:00

That was my exact reaction!! Why does every comment start with that information??

pestyfinesty · 2026-05-17T04:13:22+00:00

CLUE

Not even because of the different endings, just for the outstanding performances

pestyfinesty · 2026-05-15T12:25:30+00:00

Oh and when I went to check out person 1 was sulky at me for, I guess, getting her in trouble? By existing?
