As per usual a tough last day of the week with the kids; we really get on each other's nerves after a full week, and this one has had a holiday with more time at home than usual, so I think I need to do a #3goodthings:
1. Took a small road trip with 7yo autism boy and grandma – saw so many snails and slugs! And a bunch of spring flowers as well
2. 9yo had super easy maths homework and pretended to be a small child so 7yo could 'help' him
3. Got both kids into the shower without much protest
The lead actor in Avatar was so unremarkable that I've mentally replaced him with Chris Pratt. Any time Avatar comes up, I think "Who was even in that? Sigourney Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi, Zoe Saldana and I only remember that because she was better in Star Trek that year...the main dude was a white guy? I'd remember if it was Jake Gyllenhaal or a Hemsworth...Chris Pratt? That sounds right."

Appearently there are people with penises that don't sit down on toilets. I never thought anyone would do that.

I'm especially confused by people saying everyone does it and that it has nothing to do with upbringing, but being the natural thing to do.

Do men really pee standing up when they are at home?

Answer (1 of 19): Men (and boys) generally pee standing up no matter where they are. The only time I can think of that I would pee sitting down is when either someone is sleeping nearby or I'm also taking a poop. So, to answer your question, yes, the legends are true. Men usually pee standing up...

@infernusgoatus Oo, this makes me want to share the Anser × Branta hybrid I saw yesterday!

This is a monster of a song – it perfectly fits my current mood of frustration, but it also feels perfect when I'm on top of the world, my teeth are sharp and everything feels great. I'm very grateful to @helenb for adding it to our common playlist ❤

So my 7yo with autism has a thing for reenacting things he saw on Youtube over and over. The latest fad is yelling "THIS BEE IS GONNA STING ME IN THE BALLS!" over and over again... 😳
What a week, huh?

Somebody just informed me that the scent is called "petrichor".

From #Wikipedia:
Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɪˌkɔːr/)[1] is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock', or πέτρος (pétros) 'stone', and ἰχώρ (ikhṓr), the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology

Day two at home with the 7yo, who has an inexplicable mini-holiday from school. I have a headache, rain is pouring down and I don't know what to cook for lunch.
