99°C (37°C). After 20min outdoors...
11yo *sitting on bench*: so so hot. I am never getting up againnnn😫
me: well at least look around you. look at the trees, the blue sky, the pretty hills. watch how the sunlight plays and makes shado--
bug *lands on 11yo's bare leg*
11yo *jumps up, shrieking*: that's it, i am going inside where it's cool and nothing tries to bite me!
me: what happened to never getting up again?
11yo *to me*: You are my creator, and for that I am eternally grateful. You have a tiny speck on your nose, of dust. You have a nose of dust. *cackles*
This has been a brief but wild roller coaster ride.
Me *looking at Tana French's bibliography*: Hmmm...do I have "Witch Elm"?
11yo: Did you just say "I have to chill"

Spouse and I must be doing something right. 😆
My kid is up a tree, reading a book. What a glorious way to spend an unseasonably warm afternoon. 😊❤️

I just had to go into my 11yo's bedroom in order to retrieve my own boots. She is also recently absconded with my Harley Quinn socks.
Her feet are half a size larger than mine and she's still at least three inches shorter than me.
I guess I shall be tall vicariously through her. 😆
However, I would really like to not have to go hunting for my own clothing! Especially if she stretches out my footwear.
I think this garment thievery is probably only going to get worse.
11yo *reading a Gmail meeting invite*
"Is this on Google Meet? Or the kind of meeting where we can smell each other?"
Send help, I PERISH 🤣🤣🤣
When your kid has #DAVE, you will tell her to go to the bathroom and wash her face, and she will interpret this to mean "go to the office and sharpen a pencil."
