As a childfree person, getting my nieces' and nephews' Christmas lists is always so weird. What do you mean this 11 year-old wants Sephora gift cards?? Tan or gray sweater vests for a teenager?? What are all these anime shows?! I am so out of touch 🤣

This kind of thing makes me so sad because it's like, you were right there at the junction of Curiosity and Asking Good Questions and then you took a hard left into Conspiracy Theory instead of Learning Something New. Such a waste.

Yesterday my husband crowed that England batted for about half of what would be considered a good at bat. So tonight I saw him watching the cricket I asked "how much are you guys winning by?"
"We're not..."
"Wait, what? I thought England did really bad?"
"They did. And then we did even worse..."
"We're not..."
