ive never proofread a single thing ive written in my life as soon the words are outside my brain i no longer recognize them as mine and i want nothing more to do with them
Also we have been very conscious about not saying “you’re okay” and “it’s okay” to Penny when she’s having a toddler melt down cause like, she’s not. This is the biggest worst thing to happen in her little life to her at the time of a melt down. So we (both husband and I, and we’ve train grandparents as well) to always say “I know, I know, I know, so many emotions in such a tiny maam. We’re here, we got you”
Long story short as penny as developed language the way she self soothes is hugging herself and saying “I know I know I know I know” over and over again.
Have to get our hands wiped off? “I know I know I know”
Have to get out of the tub? “I know I know I knooow”
She knows a lot apparently. 😂
Everyone in this house (which at the moment consists of 4 adults and 1 small raccoon child) whenever even mildly inconvenienced will just immediately start siren calling “I know I know I know I know!” We have quickly adapt to know this means that another adult should come help.
Dad can’t get the coffee machine to work? “I know I know I know”
Grandpa can’t figure out what the App Store is? “I know I know I know”
We must be very confusing to the neighbors
family friendly version of “how is everyone coping with the horrors?”
milk is neat because its the only drink i can think of where you desperately want it cold and yet it would be unthinkable to put ice cubes in. a delicate limbo. a yuri of abscence. this post is nothing but you can look at it if youd like
absolutely love reading such a well-written story and falling a bit in love with the author based solely on the way they write. like baby the way you italicize words makes my heartbeat quicken.
I really wish I’d had this kind of unrestricted access to unabridged audiobooks when I was in high school. There’s so much classic literature that I eventually came to love but that I absolutely hated the first time through because of the context I’d been made to read it in.
Reminder to the kids that Librivox is free, legal, and fun!
Yes! Usually, Libby is my go-to and LibriVox is my fallback. Libby has commercial audiobooks available through an app but with wait times and a limited selection; LibriVox has shit you never even imagined with no limits but it’s all volunteer-produced and you gotta put it on your phone by candlelight.
LibriVox also has a youtube channel! You can put it on autoplay and listen to leaves of grass followed by shitty 1890s mysteries!
