My niece 8 days after being run over by my (still not really acknowledging her fault) mom on Thanksgiving. This year has finally shown me a glimpse of why Super Villains go crazy and try to destroy the world. Fuck 2017.
@reedsandstrings Thanks. She’s 2 and so little and it’s just...awful.
This holiday fucking sucks. My niece was run over on Thanksgiving. Now my least favorite holiday.

It’s not that I don’t want to learn how to pronounce things correctly but if my 8yo interrupts me reading a dinosaur name one more time for a minor difference I might have to sell him to the next paleontologist I see.
I’m not a ‘stuff’ person. I don’t collect anything. But the 5yo has recently become obsessed with Hello Kitty and I’m suddenly back to being that kid in the late 80’s begging at the Sanrio store, except this time...I have a credit card.
Told my kids to stay out of the pumpkin pie while it cooled. Instead they scraped the top layer off the entire pie hoping I wouldn’t notice. I noticed.
@magpie my kids don’t even have wonky toes but this is going to be my new nightmare.
Captivated a group of 12yo boys talking about Horror movies. Don’t want to overstate my coolness but I have the same taste in movies as 12yo boys so...
@kevinhearne ETA on this? Because it looks awesome.
There comes a point where you would willing pay for movie tickets for all your friends just so you can then force them to talk for hours about movies they only marginally care about. You WILL discuss whether a different costume design is sexist between two movies. “I didn’t really notice the change” is no excuse!
Super happy to be the Science Friend so everyone can expect doctorate level knowledge of All Things Science. What kind of tree is that? I have no idea. I took one Botany class 17 years ago. I also cannot answer advanced physics questions about oceans on other planet’s moons. But if you want fat scraped off a cadaver or to talk ad nauseam about mammal sexual dimorphism I’m your gal. Note: no one does want that.
@jason New plan: dress dogs up as humans. Have them sit at the table. Lead the conversation with deep questions like “Who’s a good boy?”
Note: this also means you get to have brisket instead of turkey to avoid bird bones. Thanksgiving just got awesome.
After the kids falls asleep and before the husband gets home is a 90 min window spent sleeping, doing homework, or non-kid chilling. Let’s pretend I’m adult enough that sleeping or homework are what I usually pick.
@magpie I know! I don’t even exercise, just good genes, I guess. A little worried I should have marked this NSFW but I didn’t see any No Nipple or Tentacle rules. Hope no one’s offended.
@jason Just venting? Or want to come to Florida? Not joking. Bring pie.
4yo’s recent ink pad portrait of me. Don’t want to brag but, even after two kids, my lower abdomen tentacles still really do look that good.
