You reminded me of that scene in “Three Men and a Baby” when Tom Selleck is reading about a boxing match to the infant. :)

Some people are iffy about receiving anything free that they perceive as “charity” so if his family is like that, a book could be a “prize” he “earns”.

Ouch! I’ve got about 50 years worth of Geos around the house and shudder at the thought of having to give them up.

Aww! I can just picture it. It’s that often overlooked milestone when kids discover that their actions have consequences and if you break something, you should try to mend it.

Poor little fella. Maybe he can have some books to keep at school or in his backpack?

“We would suggest no more books...he hates when we try to read to him...”

15 year old me...wow, she’d be over the moon about the internet and Netflix, would not believe my teeneager was really my kid (looks totes like her dad), excited to see all the new volumes in her favorite series and would be extremely nervous around the husband. (No boyfriend until I was 19).

Country music isn't my thing, but I make an exception for Dolly. She's smart, talented, has a voice like sweet tea and just seems like a genuinely NICE person.

These selfsame people are the ones constantly bleating, "The gays are bad because Sodom and Gomorrah."

That squares with the wealthiest people I’ve met. Old blue-jeans, ratty old pickup, “jus’ plain folks” vibe. But they could buy and sell everyone around them.
I have modest means, so I wear my thrifted jeans and pretend I’m secretly wealthy. :D

I can’t imagine doing that intentionally at that age. I hope everyone makes it through healthily.

It won't help with the hair elsewhere, but consider wearing a hairnet when you cook. It keeps stuff out of your hair and hair out of your stuff! You can get 100 of them for $10-15 on Amazon.

Of course!

It is for me.

Long haired, black and white. He made warbling noises when he got scritches and screeched when the Klingons cats got too close to his house.

We had a guinea pig named Tribble when I was a kid. He knew that the sound of the fridge opening might mean fresh lettuces and when he heard that door open he would let forth a mighty squee...for years, it was impossible to sneak snacks.

I was totally blanking on her name when I was looking for awesome ladies in suits. Thanks!

A girl in a tux? What will they think of next?

Also, why aren’t there per-child limits on so many egg hunts? Many people I know (*cough* in-laws *cough*) just throw the eggs out and let the kids go nuts. Inevitably, there are little kids who maybe find an egg or two and the big kids hog everything. Then comes the wailing and gnashing of teeth and the guilt-trips…

That rabbit looks a bit pervy.
