Teaching my toddler the word “doppelgänger” in case his brother is born with a cat allergy and he needs a non-ableist way to say “stop copying me.”

Don’t tell his mom, but I’m secretly training my kid to be the Coyote who actually takes out his Road Runner. ACME discipline. Real-world physics. Maybe no TNT. 🧨

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. In some cases, in the rare and demanding role of ‘Mama Who Must Sing With Me With the Kitty.’ An unconventional play, to be sure, and not one of Shakespeare’s best, which perhaps explains its omission from the canon.

Things got pretty sentimental telling my son he’s going to be a big brother. But there are practical concerns too. Lotta logistics. Double the car seats. Double the daycare. And a preternaturally verbal witness to silence if we ever want to successfully convince the new one he’s adopted.

Just thinking about how funny it would’ve been if, right after saying “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff,” Carl Sagan had ripped a massive fart.

The key to toddler meditation? No expectations.* *Arguably also the key to adult meditation.

Trying to give my kid the old college head start by teaching him all the essential ping pong ball tricks for rush week. (I assume—Oberlin didn’t have frats, so I just had to pledge a vegan book club. Now I suck at ping pong and enter a trauma fugue around lentils.)

Watch out! Born swinger coming through. (And back. And then through again. It’s honestly kinda hard to make a dramatic entrance when you’re a born swinger.)

It’s time to admit that a small but apparently non-trivial part of my child’s cognitive development will be determined by the fact that sometime in the early ’90s I happened to watch Benny and Joon on VHS.

Toddler won’t nap because he’s hopped up on horse (please don’t quote this without the video).

Wait for it... 😂

🤼Kotozakura looked like he was going to pull this one out but slips a little and Gonoyama slaps him down. Really thought this was Koto's chance to break the 8-7 streak he's been on since I started watching. Looks like I was right but not how I thought. At 2-7 his ozeki run may be over. Gonoyama 7-2.

Attended the No Kings Rally at the Greenburgh Town Hall here in NY. I think there were between 200 and 300 people there, which was pretty good considering that it was only organized and advertised within the last 2 weeks.
