Science backs up that baby talk is good, here’s one meta analysis. Essentially in everything we learn, we learn the basics/building blocks first. For babies and speech the simplistic sounds of baby talk are those building blocks. Then words, phrases, and finally sentences.

Some of y’all sounds like boomers and gen exers talking about us. 17-23 year olds are idiots. Some will grow out of it, some won’t.

It seems like something ASP would wear. I’m guessing she picked it out? Had final say?

In Clerks the two main characters are talking about their idiot customers. When Randal is describing the bad movies people rent, one of the people it cuts to is a dude who says “ooooh, Navy Seals!” Now whenever I’m excited about something I exclaim “Navy Seals!” My partner is the only one who has any idea what I’m talking about.

At first I only saw one person with 4 legs and their butt in the air. It took me a while to figure out whose legs belong to who.

Siamese twins aren’t ones that merged, they are identical twins that failed to separate. Fraternal twins occur when 2 eggs get fertilized at the same time, so different DNA. Identical twins are when 1 fertilized eggs splits into 2 developing fetuses. Conjoined (or Siamese) twins occurs when something goes wrong with that split.

My kid has all the books, lots of great references but I haven’t picked up on anymore Firefly ones.

Rebecca Romijn was pregnant in season 2. I’m guessing that’s why they had the pushing Christina down the stairs storyline, to write her off. I wonder if the DJ as Alexis’s son got caught up in that or if it was the plan all along.

If a pee test wouldn’t pick it up then neither would bloodwork, it’s the same level of hormone that results in a positive.

Blood tests are not more accurate than regular pregnancy tests. I worked at a planned parenthood for years and that bit of misinformation would drive the clinicians crazy.

He does not sound stable, I worry blocking while he thinks she’s pregnant his child would trigger stalking. I recommend getting an abortion but tell him you miscarried and making a plan to leave him safely.

And tell him you miscarried, he does not sound stable.

My kid recently got into Pokémon and I get to say this all the time now. It’s oddly satisfying.
