My child graduated from college with a degree in psychology. 😃
My almost 4 year old daughter has a joke that she's been repeating OVER AND OVER the past week and she thinks it's so funny she cracks up laughing before she can even get it all out, and it's so cute and dumb that it's actually hilarious and I don't know how it came to be except that it's something from a Tinker Bell movie she likes that she changed.
She'll say: "Two fairies born of the same laugh... 😁😁😁 OCKATATO AND OCKATATO!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪"
Yeah, that book is brutal. I never read it to my kids, didn’t dig the message of “give of yourself, even unto your eventual death, because you like someone - whether or not they seem to appreciate you!” I do like Uncle Shelby’s ABZ Book though!
My kids made plans with their friends, left the house for a while, and let me get in some alone time for playing retro remakes on the PS5.
The funny thing is that I've read it to him several times in the past. He just finally understood it well enough to do a double take and think "wait a minute, that seems like a terrible thing to do!"
Can't wait until my son is old enough that I can say "go hang out with your friends for a few hours" without being irresponsible.
It’s wild watching their brains develop in real-time like that! Then, before you know it they’ll be out running around town and you’ll be missing them and want them home again! :)
