I have a coat with button-down shoulder straps, I sometimes use them to loop the strap of my handbag.

My cat was scared of mice and spiders. If a spider would walk towards her, she would go slowly backwards while keeping eye-contact with the spider. But she figured out how to open the soft square cat food tins.

I’ve heard stories about people confusing okra with weed.

All the charity/thrift shops in my area only accept certain brands and items that are a maximum of 3 years old. Anything else, even vintage items, get tossed and shredded.

I like how unimpressed he seems.

For a brief second I thought the stun ring was a cock ring. Maybe they could make a 2-in-1 model.

Imagine if they had tried to stop an air force member wearing theirs.

They once opened my dad’s bag because of something and things got a bit weird when they found some women’s underwear my mom had shoved in there last minute. Imagine a 6'4 viking with some size S floral underwear.

Video games taught me a fair chunk of my English vocabulary, school just taught me the basics for using it.

The stamp on the letter reads 24/10/10, so Kubo must have gotten it around that time. Of course it could have been written long before that.

Since I started playing Sims 10+ years ago I seem to have a weird ‘bug’ in Sims 2, 3 and 4 — I’ve never had a burglar show up. I only found out online that they are supposed to be in the game.

I always put my blanket at the bottom of the door to block the light.

Video games taught me how to read and the internet taught me English. If I wanted to be good at a game, I had to be able to read the dialogue boxes. If I wanted/needed information that wasn’t (yet) available in German (often tips or cheat codes for games), I had to read the English version. I still read traditional…

I live in Germany and in 5th grade we got a new student from Canada. Our English teacher hated him. She, a woman in her 60s, felt undermined by an 11-year old.

“There are times when you can read content out loud but not understand what you’re reading.”

My mom’s favourite sweater has perfect Cheshire cat stripes. The best thing? My mom has never seen Alice in Wonderland.

Well, in the Jetsons the mom is 33 and the daughter 16.

They were demolished in 2010.

In Germany that’s just any given day during Feierabend (the time after work).

Wait, how are you all married to my mother?
