And if I'm seeing correctly, the ears aren't even holes, just extra bits of plastic to get caught on everything.

On the other hand I have in my time screwed up chocolate cornflake cakes. Oh, and one time I made a tray of 12 muffins that came out as a tray-sized slab of cake with 12 damp wells.

The Vagina Museum investigated the reliability of ChatGPT for pregnancy advice. It wasn't great. bsky.app/profile/vagi...

"you are always very welcome to make yourself a sandwich," is definitely a key phrase here with my 10yo.

Yes, but, you see, he has all the money.

Yeah, that's no form of "reclining" that I recognise - it looks like what my husband and I end up doing when our kid has claimed the centre spot of our bed and then developed 30 extra elbows and knees to expand his territory.

That is quite a charitable interpretation, yes.

I'm confused - it was you in hospital, calling Rev. Stepmum for emotional support for you, how does your mom even feature in that conversation? I'm sorry you didn't get support from her.

I'll be honest, I have no idea 🤣

I also suspect it'll get interesting as their child develops the ability to assert a preference, eg I want a daddy bedtime, I only like sandwiches the way mummy does them, and best of all, why can't we XYZ like [other caregiver]?

Dude, you don't need to call me out like this!

True. I think there's often a big gap between the actual risk and the perceived risk, too.

We are not trusted to decide whether our kids are too sick to go to school, or to have a household policy about social media use. We are threatened with legalese and fines, which is scarier than the physical risk. Damn right we have fears.

The erosion of parental authority plays a part, too. How many times have you heard parents talking about their childhood freedoms, and then expressing fear that if they let their kids do the same, "social services would be breaking down my door," or similar? (1/2)

Are we talking about bacon slicers here?

A while back there was a Thing about confusing self-driving vehicles by making a circle of salt around them, and that went firmly in the "I don't even care if it's true or not; headcanon accepted," category.

I mean, sometimes he does a great job as a kind of human snowplough in crowded shopping malls, happy for him to lead then...

I wonder if she got confused about the use of "assignation" as a euphemism for an affair?

Which is fine. Anger, upset, all valid. Thematically though... Alternate universes, gift details to fans, the undesirability of immortality/eternity, these are all very well established elements. (I didn't want Granny Weatherwax to die, either.)

Even the original book had a nod to it, the first editions of Biggles in the resurrected bookshop and so on. The reader can take whatever tickles their fancy and run off with it, giggling.
