I’ve had the best one: put your kid in the back seat going over a bumpy road on the way to something you don’t want. Ours are trained to barf into little baggies we kept in the backseat. But man it was great showing up with a bagful of kid car chunks and them looking exhausted to get out of it.

I think you meant Be Best. 

Hi sir! So many reasons to give a condensed list. Either mobile access, dear/hard-of-hearing readers, parents who try to have a moment between kid caretaking (handup). It may be idiotic to you but it’s... ummm.. idiotic NOT to have a basic transcript. Best segue I could do.

If I'm allowed to be mildly pretentious, if I have buckets of time, I use a bouquet garnis while simmering. An amazing time. 

Don’t forget, one of the biggest impacts Microsoft had is cross-plaform play. Because of their market position, they had to play nice. This has opened the door to so many more gaming opportunities, from Rocket League to Fortnite and beyond. I appreciate that anyone can play with me on many titles. I hope it’s a trend…

It gets easier, I promise! My kids are 9 and 7 now, and you learn. I recall one time when my older one and I were grocery shopping with my father and I noticed his diaper was smelling off. I took him to the bathroom and laid him on the changing table. Suddenly, this greenish-brown swirl starts spiraling out of his…

Wife and I have a joint account for groceries, rent, etc. Otherwise, we have separate accounts from our joint. We each do different things with our money (she's the saver, I take care of most kids activities, weekend adventures, short trips and the like) so it all balances out. What matters is that we don't keep…

Used the tool, and something was stuck on my screen! I had a really smug Samsung logo in the lower right corner of my LG C9. Thankfully, it disappeared when I closed the video.

Sweet potatoes + mushroom bouillon + duck fat = best sweet potatoes you will ever consume.

I want to make a snarky remark about the last sentence of the third paragraph, but both respect Claire too much and don't want to get banned. 

“Social media and cyberbullying go hand in -hand, which is leading to increased depression and anxiety among teens”

As the younger brother who was bullied for years, I finally decided I’d had enough and cut my toxic brother from my life. I haven’t spoken to him in over three years. I mourned the idea of having a brother (I was 36 when I gave up on the relationship), but at least I haven’t been hurt since.

I adore both my kids - now at least. However, I had HUGE new father depression with my first kid and didn’t know what to do, or how to handle it. If I could go back, I would tell my younger self that it was okay to be scared, that he would turn out to be amazing. My second son has been a handful, diagnosed with ADHD…

“Grilling season may be coming to a close”

Snake, where are you? Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! 

Counterpoint: shaker parm is sawdust and salt. I’ve tried to incorporate it into the pantry, but every time I try, I end up gagging on it. I’m sorry, Claire, but this is one irreconcilable difference I won’t be able to get past.

I'm Canadian, and I go through two bags a week. 

SO wrong about Reese. I worked in an ice cream shop for two years in college, and the best thing I learned there was freezing Reese cups. Instead of coating my mouth and making me thirsty, they actually became crystalline and refreshing. Amazing in the summer.

The only flaw in your argument is that, once you decide which board game to play, the board game says you have to drive for an hour to get a new set of dice because your old dice suddenly morphed into blobs of poop and are no longer usable because the board game arbitrarily said so. 

I can’t burp by choice. I’ll burp involuntarily, like, 20 times in a year. But being able to just rip one at will? Never figured that one out. And as a father of two young boys, this would have been such a valuable time-waster!
