I wonder what regrettable science we're indulging in now.
When EM and I split up there was a very strong bias among family therapists that 50/50 shared physical custody was bad for young children. (Emmett was 2 at the time.) That they needed one house as a primary home, and they advocated something like an 80/20 split. But I had a strong sense that this particular vogue in psychotherapy was just that - another passing trend. Fortunately EM agreed with me and we bucked the experts we consulted and Emmett's better for it, I know.
Oof. I was just going to do the laundry but it started raining. I think I'll start the scalloped potatoes instead.

You mean other than chocolate-chip pancakes and sausage on a stick?
We have the most amazing landlord ever. As a wedding gift she just waived our January rent.

Skin care. Hoo-boy, skin care. The amount of ridiculous "science" that is being sold to people in the quest of a youthful appearance is kind of staggering.
ND, that is a fantastic gift.
It's crazy generous. She waived it on both houses.
Dylan is poking the eyes of his toy giraffe so they turn inside out and then showing us and saying "He's crying!"
The rational response to this is to ignore him and continue fucking around on the internet, right?
ND, that is amazing. That'll help with the wedding expenses. Very sweet!
You should cover both houses in icicle lights as a "thank you"? Seriously, that's amazing.
That's excellent news, ND!
Scalloped potatoes gratin are in the oven. It only took a pint of heavy cream and half a block of gruyere to submerse the spuds in creamy goodness. Plus also onions, garlic, shallots and fresh thyme.
Can regrettable science argue that this is good for me?
Of note: Fresh thyme smells so good. Also, it's oddly satisfying to slice potatoes paper thin.

Right! Not only rational but the appropriate response. Besides he's displaying empathy. It's a learning experience.
