In this house we believe in hands-on learning. Today I learned that if you secretly film your kid singing, he will lay hands on you. Most father-son violence in an ABC song since the Jackson 5.

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. 🧨

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.”

It’s a pity “Grampa’s Treadmill” isn’t an Olympic sport, because my kid would be number one with a butt-flip. (Obviously this presumes some kind of “Toddler Olympics,” which I think we can all agree is coming to America within a decade, whether or not we beat back fascism.)
Teaching my kid method acting by lying about when he’s on tape. He’s either gonna be a phenomenal actor or a guy who spends the next 40 years having flop-sweat nightmares he can’t quite explain.
At first, we thought it was adorable that he made his momma a crown out of blocks because he sees her as a queen. Only later did we realize it was less a “royal coronation” and more of a “Taekwondo sparring helmet” situation.
I think it’s hard to argue that if you say “what up dog” and a dog immediately gets up, you’re not doing something right. Right?
It’s a cool biological adaptation that just as boys get old enough to stop absolutely coating their faces in food every meal, they begin to grow facial hair. Like somehow evolution just knows that male faces are genetically gross when directly exposed to the elements.
The key to toddler meditation? No expectations.* *Arguably also the key to adult meditation.
Childhood developmental specialists: Is it a good or bad sign that my toddler developed “knife permanence” first?
Gonna get Toddles a starter job as one of those night elves that fixes shoes. I figure since it’s magic it kind of sits outside the whole “child labor law” system, and his bedtime already lives in the land of myth, so 🤷♂️🧝

But if food becomes scarce, they do something extraordinary: they come together to form a much larger organism. They totally merge protoplasm, becoming a multinucleated cell called a plasmodium, which rapidly goes from microscopic to MACROSCOPIC (up to 5 sq meters!). This becomes a fruiting body.
