At dinner tonight, hijo número uno casually suggests I drive him to school tomorrow so we can pick up a pastry for a final week breakfast thing. I don’t throw the word “hero” around casually, but I *am* currently mixing a yudane for a double batch of cinnamon rolls.
Was it worth the lost sleep and general disruption to my evening to get a huge unironic thank you and hug this morning? Every damn time.

@jimray god DAMN jim

i’ll be right over, please save me eight

@beep Ethan do you think the other sixth graders will appreciate that I matched the flavor profiles of the Mexican canela and vanilla? Or the overnight cold proof to develop the flavor of the dough?
@jimray great question, let me just register for sixth grade real quick before i get back to you
@beep pal they’d eat us alive. The slang alone! Six seven six seven!
@jimray speak for yourself boomer [does a sweet kick flip, ignores the sound his knees just made, moonwalks into the sunset]
@jimray @beep I’m confident they won’t appreciate it, but I’m sure I will. Please save me 5
