Well I will agree with you in principle, and stick to showers at home. The most enjoyable bath of my life was when I was about 8 months pregnant and we took a weekend at a very swanky hotel, our room had such a big closet our toddler set up the foldout bed in it as her own room. The bathtub was enormous, the hot water constant, the suds delightful, and I floated blissfully free of gravity. And yes, being able to just drain and rinse and refill so the toddler could swim in it, and know someone else would clean it for pay was a big part of the enjoyment.

Brilliant. Now help me figure out how to relax in the tub without thinking about how I’m going to have to clean the tub when I get out

Twist my arm. Okay fine we’ll build a fort and eat noodles with chocolate sauce in it.

I think it’s cool you don’t hide behind children (pretending you’re just humoring the kids when really you just love building forts).

Looks like Cohen The Barbarian of the Terry Pratchett Discworld series.

In a profession where you don’t live long unless you’re very, very good… He’s very, very old.

Might wanna clip your nails

That rack is ridiculous, one kid or dog runs by and the entire load is on the floor.

Lucky you! Some of us have more laundry than square footage. For instance my spouse gets bed-bathed, so it’s a lot of washcloths and towels. And when we had babies and little kids it was much more. Plus more need for running space. In moist climates there’s also a mold issue.

Ah, so you were privileged to live alone without kids who make more laundry and need space to run and play without pulling down the wet laundry. Glad it worked out for you. I’ll use the dryer in the building laundry room my rent pays to maintain, thanks

As in the image, the parents are right there, kids on their laps in the rubble. And for wee toddlers, it’s not that anyone expects them to read all or any of the words in the dialogue. It’s making the initial connection between the spoken (or sung) words and those groups of letters on the screen. A little further along it’s associating the sounds of the letters rather than just their names.

And then they’ll start to recognize the basic sight words, even when they’re not phonetic. Similar to reading a book along with a preschooler and having them do all the "the"s as you point to them.

There are people in Gaza who speak English and want their kids to learn it. Also, subtitles or closed captions is a good first step in teaching toddlers to read.

Maybe toddlers whose home is rubble need a little mental escape into a Ms. Rachel video. Mr Rogers would be better, but it’s not like they can go to a nice park.

Oh please. He’s already blurting out everything he knows onlate-night Xitter and Truthiness. And he refuses briefings, so that’s not much anyway. Just send him up with nobody but his panderers, so any spies will only hear his shitty stories about himself. Eventually they’ll get so sick of it they’ll shoot him down. Oh, well!

Which is why we should let him use it exactly as it is. Just don’t tell him anything while he’s on it, in case of espionage. He won’t notice because he doesn’t listen anyway. And let nobody else on it except his most loyal supporters. And of course Ellen Musk. So if it goes down, no loss to the nation.

The nominee he should have blocked is already in place, Qatar lobbyist Pam Bondi.

In the best way!

Reading the whole statement, I think he’s saying all those things are problems, especially the Pam Bondi connection, but he’s more offended that it was built with profits off our war dead. If he didn’t care at all about the rest he wouldn’t mention them. He’s just adding a Conservative argument against it.

And some of that Viagra is probably used in sexual assault.

Well it’s probably impractical on a motorcycle

Maybe you haven’t tried a long skirt/dress yet. Swooshy, full control of your exposure level, fresh air wafting underneath, long tall silhouette, give it a try!
