I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Emeline gets the book off her bookshelf, opens it to that page and just SQUEALS.

Sandra Boynton is the QUEEN SUPREME of baby books. I simply adore her.

When they get a little older, you'll have to add Walter, the Farting Dog to their repetoire.

The nephew made my mom read it 4 times in sucession one night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

haven't you -- pretty firmly established right here in this thread that science reporting is crap these days?

No, I've not ever done such a thing. I'm mainly skeptical about the ones that tout the everyday as bright and new and all scientifically complex. There's a lot of science reporting that doesn't bother me at all.

There might be a hivemind agreement on that fact, but it's not one I share.
