all the 9 to 5ers scrolling through tumblr at 7am like we’re reading the morning paper. raising our coffee cups in greeting by reblogging each others posts.
I have genuinely learned so much being friends with a gym bro. You know when zoos put animals of different species together for enrichment? I feel like he and I are in a terrarium together.
Him: we should start a podcast.
My brain: Adorable! This Cheetah’s Unlikely Best Friend is a Labrador Retriever.
@ every parent in the world: yes your kid is special because every child is special but they are not specialer than every other child so please be normal about them
Some parents have done what I can only describe as fandomize their child where they’ve taken the child and altered it in their mind to make a cooler version that fits their specific interests, and now sometimes I have to remind them of the canon material.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a youth theater director and teacher. Every audition season is a personal ordeal.
Giving people whiplash with this one.
ALERT TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS: Youth audition season begins in only a week! I am living in constant fear!
when gerard way sings “the broken, the beaten, and the damned” and when kermit the frog sings “the lovers, the dreamers, and me” they’re talking about the same people btw
My 11-year-old couldn’t decide what flavor of ramen to make, so I told her to flip a coin. Heads for spicy chicken, tails for beef.
Taking my advice, she flipped a penny, and when it landed on tails she said “Wait! Wait! I did it wrong!”
I told her that she did it right, because the real reason for flipping a coin isn’t to let fate decide for you, but because when the coin is in the air, you will suddenly realize what you wanted in the first place.
I’m sure there’s a life lesson there somewhere…
But honestly, I have never known her to pass up spicy chicken.
Update: Yesterday, her brother asked her if she wanted a corn dog and she couldn’t decide, so again I told her to flip a coin. She did so, and without even looking which way it landed, she snatched the penny up and said “I want a corn dog”.
