This thing has a sign on it that forbids kids from climbing it. Needless to say every kid in the neighborhood has climbed it at least twice.

Argh!
The toddler’s new nap strategy: refuse to nap two days in a row, or make up for the lost sleep at night, and instead pass the hell out on the third day at nap time and sleep for as long as mom will let him. If he was rational, he’d just take shorter naps every day. Unfortunately for me, he is a toddler and therefore about as far from rational as it is possible for a human being to get. Rational human beings know that naps are awesome.

Thanks to Time Warner’s eternal suckitude my internet has barely worked the past few days. When I just tried to refresh my dash all I got was a giant gif of David Tennant.
Somehow this seems like an accurate enough representation of Tumblr as a whole.
Also, fuck Time Warner.

I have no idea what movie this is, but I actually saw someone do this once in the city, on 6th Avenue.
Also, Paul Rudd is still pretty hot after all these years.

I’m pretty impressed by the driver who managed to parallel park this thing on a busy avenue.
Not so impressed by the hot pink Hummer-ness.

Yet another thing I don’t want to know.
Why the toddler just turned off the Sesame Street I put on for him and put on Jimmy Kimmel instead. I mean sure, I can see being bored of Sesame Street, but late night tv? Ugh.

Oh my God, I’ve lived a very simple life! You can say, Oh yes, at thirteen this happened to me and at fourteen … But those are facts. But the facts can obscure the truth, what it really felt like. Every human being has paid the earth to grow up. Most people don’t grow up. It’s too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That’s the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, they have the nerve to have children, but they don’t grow up. Not really. They get older. But to grow up costs the earth, the earth. It means you take responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy. It’s serious business. And you find out what it costs us to love and to lose, to dare and to fail. And maybe even more, to succeed. What it costs, in truth. Not superficial costs—anybody can have that—I mean in truth. That’s what I write. What it really is like. I’m just telling a very simple story.

Unauthorized use of a snot-sucker.
Removing toddler’s dinner from toddler’s nasal passages where he purposely inserted it and tried to shove it up as far as he could get it.
Seriously kid, WHAT THE HELL.
Complaining about many things, since 1983.
