my child tends to absorb some kind of vague understanding of what i'm interested in at any given point in time. they are 5 years old and obsessed with music/musicals and just. like. tiny theater kid energy. anyway. this occurred yesterday:
me, husband, and girlfriend are all relaxing in the living room, chatting after dinner when The Child runs into the room.
5yo, in a deep, gravelly voice: I HAVE AN ARMY.
GF: An army? What for?
5yo: I am Alan Zake.
Me, giggling: Alan Zake?
5yo, pauses for a long moment, processing what I've just said. He then strikes a power pose.
I would like to thank every crack writer who has ever contributed to the Clone Command Group Chat fics on archive of our own. I haven’t laughed that hard in YEARS
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
redownloaded instagram and got sucked into reels and it’s truly like an alternate reality happening over there. video of a girl being like “looking back on my cringe 2021 taste….” and it’s a pic of her wearing like. jeans and a top. the top has a checkerboard pattern. she’s like screaming in agony. the comments are all like “omg not the microtrend 😭 i can’t believe i ever wore that” like woah. i think you guys are crazy
