The Picard ManeuverRecognizing when you're living in your best years
Dagwood222A lot of people have overlooked great things because they were waiting for something better to come along.
DasusHow dare you know my life better than I
I dare all!
BeatTakeshiHi Daryl
That’s a terrible ‘dad joke.’ Surely you can’t be serious.
Terrible means great in the land of the dad
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Airplane 1980-Surely you can't be serious
I Cast FistI’m not serious, I eat cereals
Did you know that white people have had a huge impact on European history?
Airplane 1980-Surely you can't be serious
ShaggySnacksI am serious and don’t call me Shirely.
It took 19 hours for someone to come up with the proper response.
We live in an ocean of ignorant heathers.
{i was going to write ‘heathens’ but I like the typo better]
Be careful of insulting the Heathers. They are one the most powerful cliques on Lemmy.
mad_asshatterSome of my (our) favourite moments are the time we’re the most lost.
Unplanned.
SeraphThe only time that exists is the present. Enjoy it!
Don't live in the past or the future, they existed and they will exist, but they don't exist. Only the present does.
He doesn't talk back to her? That's awkward. "Remember when dad would take me for ice cream and not say anything to me while he messes with the radio?"
I dont know what age the kid is, but i know lots of kids that just love talking like a never ending waterfall.
Shes probably telling him every single detail of what happened during ballet class like it is a shakespeare play. And if you love your kids then you wanna hear that.
KoboldCoterieAlmost definitely this. “…and I went over to the teacher and asked if we could dance to Let It Snow, but Becky said she didn’t like that song, so but then Jenny came over and said she did, so the teacher asked everyone who liked it to raise their hands and almost everyone did so she put it on and we got to dance to it! Oh, and then, Becky even got excited about it part way through and I think she likes it now, too, so the teacher said we can listen to it again next week! But Tanya’s mom came to pick her up early because she had to go to the dentist, so she missed the best part, and then…”
This is exactly what i had in mind. Thank you for adding to my comment :)
Dr. WeskerLittle girls often like to talk. A lot. Kids in general at specific ages have a lot to say. Listening skills as an adult in this situation are important. You want them to feel comfortable just jabbering at you.
Aren't you supposed to be modeling conversational conventions so they don't annoy other people with incessant chatter? Some people never seem to be quiet ever and probably needed to learn to let other people be involved in their one-sided monologues.
No, you demonstrate love and unconditional acceptance and support. Today they’re babbling on about something that happened at ballet, tomorrow they trust you enough to talk about their relationships and teachers and the bully at school.
Kids have enough time in their day to learn social convention - they also just need a safe environment to unpack everything with their parents.
It’s not just kids, most adults would talk this much too, and probably feel a lot better for it, if they hadn’t had it knocked out of them and had someone they trust to talk to.
XanthraxHaving an engineer for a father, yes. It always ended in “Car Talk”.
“DON’T DRIVE LIKE MY BROTHA”
Kids are an entrance or exit passage in an ancient Roman amphitheatre or theatre?
Yes. They let a lot of things out. That’s why it’s called that.
It means ""to spew forth. "
Aactually, it doesn’t, but good of you to actually open the link and have a butcher’s. “Vomere” means “to spew forth”. “Vomitorium” is “vomere” + -“orium”, meaning “place of.”
It’s in your link.
Yes, it is in the link, I know.
The Latin word vomitorium, plural vomitoria, derives from the verb vomō, vomere, “to spew forth”
Derives from vomere, “to spew forth”
Quit spewing all over this thread. No one cares.
You replying implies a certain level of caring. Positive or negative, doesn’t matter.
Clearly some people were bothered. (👁 ͜ʖ👁)
When someone says “no one cares” it usually means you’re just being annoying.
Oh no, really? I had absolutely no idea. Good of you to care enough about the thread to post that reply.
No one cares dude. Go bother a plant or something.
I already feel like I’m talking to one. See if you didn’t care about this thread on some level, you simply wouldn’t reply. Caring need not be positive. As long as you reply, you care, one war or the other. <3
Wonderful. No one cares.
Lying won’t change the facts, little brother.
You care. :)
Actually some people do care. I care. I quite like these sorts of threads. Please don’t presume to speak for everyone.
Oh fuck off
Why don’t you?
Hard to accept being wrong, so you have to disagree out of principle?
is “bother a plant” the new touch grass?
yes, they go in and come out of the same place
But if they are the passage, then you’d be entering and exiting children, and that just sounds… wrong.
mihntIt’s choir and a local sub shop for my me and my daughter.
Also, our constant argument about who is better, Alastor or Vox.
Whoever she says is better, is better.
Trust me on this one, the ROI is unmatched.
Too late. T-shirts already ordered.
When will it fit her?
My mom and I don’t have a lot in common, and I think part of it is she sometimes worries she didn’t spend enough time with me as a kid because she worked so much. Her taking me to music lessons and then hot cocoa afterwards are some of my coziest memories with her.
I spent my childhood sitting in the back of a car whilst my mum and her best mate would moan about men every night, or following them around to see if they were in the pub getting pissed so she could go and throw drinks at him.
One day we came home as we were being burgled, probably my people my step dad knew.
I would have taken ballet and ice cream, even as a dude.
My ancestors had a phrase that has become the popularized saying “today is a good day to die”
Hokahey
Crazyhorse being the badass he was, would yell it when charging into battle.
It’s not really meant as “time to die” but more of I am ready! I am brave. I am strong. I love my family and they love me. If today is the day, so be it. I am ready for judgement!
This dad is practicing what it means.
That’s awesome. Sounds like your lineage is Klingon.
The Lakota were the badasses that forced the US Army to surrender. The Dakota areas would be a much different place if they had the numbers to stop people from using the Oregon Trail.
So the Klingons using that phrase has always been a lovely thing
if they had the numbers to stop people from using the Oregon Trail.
They should’ve tried more dysentery. Worked on me.
Also, small rivers that need fording.
I do this with my daughter while waiting for her therapy appointment. We sit in the park across the street and eat a happy meal while chatting. I don’t know if it’s the therapy or the time together but she’s so much more balanced since we started this I’m good paying for the therapy even if it’s our conversations that are making that difference.
It’s one of the highlights of my week, and I’m about to leave the office to go grab her for it.
I’m pretty sure both are helping. Good on you. Keep it up.
This is absolutely beautiful and it’s making me cry. Therapy is so important and so is time with you, just enjoying each other’s company, being relaxed. Precious moments.
This kind of thing is seriously the best that life gets. Being able to recognize those moments and appreciate them is one of the best skills somebody can obtain. Mindfulness meditation and stoic philosophy have helped me immensely in being able to appreciate these types of situations for the real value that they have.
As a father of a toddler, I try to appreciate every day and not take these types of moments for granted.
I’m very mindful of the fact that this time I’m living in right now is the period of my life that I’ll revisit in my memories on repeat when I’m an old man.
grrgyleWhat wise réalisation, wow… I hope it bears much nostalgic fruit for you to enjoy in your golden years.
I’ve been eating my past a bit too much lately. Got to remember to do like you, and make something for the future to eat too
Those nights are definitely a good thing!
