A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Last night my family and I sat down with a gift that TO's going to be giving it to a friend for her birthday. It's a fun game called Pun Intended. The way it works is this- there are flashcards with an image on one side. This image is meant to represent a phrase or... Continue Reading →
TO, who usually looks at venomous creatures and reptiles with cartoon hearts in his eyes, just bellowed for me from one end of the house. This time, it was because a SINGLE.TINY.LITTLE. SPARROW was sitting on the floor, in the middle of our dining room. The sparrow flitted from the floor to the dining table... Continue Reading →
The family was playing Pictionary before dinner last night. TO decided to choose the Super Hard mode for generating the challenges. I mention this beforehand so there will be moderately less judging about why I gave the answer I did. TO was furiously drawing scenes of battle etc on the board and I in my... Continue Reading →
Last night I'd asked TO to do one of his usual chores and he did; while holding firmly onto the tv remote. And I, being a person to *never* let a snarky quip pass me by, told him that once he grew up and if he had kids, would have to eventually put the remote... Continue Reading →
Red took us all out to play pickleball last evening and as always kept coaxing me to play something rather than have my nose buried in a book or my Kindle. And I, as always, was lethal on the court. Mercilessly swinging the racket like it was a sword and the ball like an enemy... Continue Reading →
Everyone grows up with the lingo of their generation; usually ingrained in their youth. It's a mix of slangs, colloquialism and often, as is typical with kids, some amount of neologisms as well. TO and I have been spending quite a bit of time together in the last two months since his summer break started.... Continue Reading →
I had completely forgotten what it was like to take a 5-year-old swimming. But, as it is with all things related to kids, it all comes back to you with a bang! TO has always been fairly independent when it comes to things he likes to do. He shucked his floaties quickly and was frolicking... Continue Reading →
The car mats have got pretty dirty and I wanted to wash them out before we stepped out next. It's a simple task actually...use a hand shower or a forceful spray to get the initial layer of dirt and dust off, sprinkle a bit of detergent on the mats, let them soak for a few... Continue Reading →
One of Red's cousins will be visiting us soon and I was telling TO about him. He'll be meeting a brand new set of cousins and an aunt he's not seen before so I was trying to give him some background while we set out for errands this morning. This uncle of his is a... Continue Reading →
TO is learning about genetics and most things associated with them. I'm ashamed to say that barring being familiar with terms, I can't recollect the definition without looking it up and most times I look them up with a keywords "for dummies" because they have the easiest definitions to understand. Unless I understand them properly,... Continue Reading →
