1. these gourds.
{for lending a little fall magic.}
2. this cream.
{because of a change in the weather.}
3. this bib.
{for being so easy to wash.}
4. these breakfast remains.
{but mostly for warm butter on hot bagels.}
5. this mustachioed ghost.
{courtesy of two kids who believe they’ve never made anything sillier.}
other things:
no one is coming to the rescue.
parents have never, ever raised children in isolated nuclear units.
for at least that brief window, “we get to be peaceful.”

Here’s my question: where is Medusa’s vulva?
a great mystery!
That mustachioed ghost is the most wonderful thing I’ve seen lately, it made me so so happy! I vote him as the blogs mascot!
I was coming here to say the same thing! That mustachioed ghost is so silly and so great. Kids are the best.
Yes, yes, a million times yes to that NYT article about parenting! As an anthropologist, there is so much about modern parenting that is just plain bizarre, even without a pandemic. Screw the capitalist system that makes being a parent a “problem” to be “accommodated.” I’m not sure what a perfect alternative would look like but we can surely do better than we are now.
