We had objective sections as part of my undergrad literature exams. It was a printed list of concepts, names, quotes, objects, etc. from works we read. We had to identify the work they were from and explain their significance. It's both manual/in-person and hard to do if you don't know the material.

I'm The Disciples.

Tag yourself in the Joy of Cooking excerpts. I'm a privileged Roman snail.

He's a cereal monogamist, though.

My kids were 7 and 3 in April 2020 when we started masking everywhere as a family. Five and a half years later, that's just what we do. They attend school, play sports, go to camp, and live normal lives with masks. Our holidays have been (fortunately) illness free while so many families are sick.

My spouse did this the first time he visited my family for the holidays and they have never, ever, ever let him forget it.

Yes! I turn 45 soon and completed my HPV series this year. My eldest (male) kid got his series during the same period.

I've had post-exertional malaise as part of my Long COVID for 3.5 years and it's only in the past 9 months that I've been able to be active at times without a crash. Celebrating your progress!

The worm-based songs were perfect. No notes.

I was *guffawing* at all the teenage grandkid scenes.
