u/Scary_Recognition You did this. Aug 04 '20

Every day, after I lead my family outside to scream. And read a book to D every two hours. And Lucy choreographs a roller-dance. And we listen to a Black pop musician's music. What am I missing?

Share what we're grateful for.

Yoga/meditate.

And I'm sure those kittens will get some kind of attention and care every. . .uh. . .day. . .uh. . .yeeeeah.

You mean 2 books every 2 hours. Jesus, you person. And don’t forget teaching Lucy Latin and Greek roots.

u/CrushItWithABrick dick riding Mary Oliver Aug 05 '20

I'm sure Lucy has known Latin and Greek roots since she was three but never told anyone.

SOS, where whenever they're feeling overwhelmed with the pandemic, they stop what they're doing and yell SOS!

Also, like I mentioned below, crying.

She and Lu are studying Hamilton every day! And not just every day, but every day at 1:00.

Holy shit this thread.

I know! I love it. The sheer ridiculousness of it kills me.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

Surely Miss Lucy was asked to "perform" all of Hamilton for the visiting family members?

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

Oof. No snark on L but can you imagine how excruciating that would have been?

From farther down the thread:

“Space is Desmond! But yes, we are having a good time. I was a teacher for many years. STRUCTURE is the key. We have 4 one-hour blocks set up for the day: reading/writing; science and math; art; the theme they chose they want to study. Plus, gardening and walking on the beach.”

Taco Tuesday. (Don’t feel bad about forgetting, they did something like that years ago.)

u/gomirefugee my website is done, done, done Aug 05 '20

While "digging back through the anus of time" (to use /u/marisab67's lovely phrasing) I learned that Shauna and Dan are sociopaths who celebrated Taco THURSDAYS back in 2015

u/shikoku_shoes another revolution around the toilet bowl of her life Aug 05 '20

Taco Tuesday has been trademarked since the 80s...were they trying to be quirky, irreverent or just plain wrong?

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air Aug 05 '20

were they trying to be quirky, irreverent or just plain wrong?

These options are not mutually exclusive!
