hey nerds (affectionate) - how are we teaching kids to type these days?
I learned appx. bazillion years ago on Mavis Beacon, but I'm confident that two decades of development has given us something better.
My kid this morning: "If something went faster than the speed of light, would it escape its shadow?"
Me, still getting my first dose of caffeine:

How do you get your daughter to stop using a full roll of toilet paper every day? #parenting
I guess it's better than not using any

My 2-year-old daughter has decided her baby doll is learning to talk. And hearing a two-year-old pitch her voice up to do a baby voice is super cute.

And finally, new data from Nameberry says people in red states are giving their kids the classic Jewish name Cohen (sometimes with the spelling Kohen). Our @CultureDesk featured this Forward story by Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox, who are trying to figure out why. Theories include that people are naming their children after the directing duo the Coen brothers, or that it’s a co-opting by Christians of Jewish traditions. Says Benyamin: “I think it’s clever to give pets human names. We have chickens and each one is named after an NPR broadcaster. We have Terry Gross, Yuki Noguchi, Nina Totenberg and so on. We’re actually on our third Melissa Block. The first two, alas, are in chicken heaven now.” Mira replies: “And they all, of course, have your last name.” Benyamin: “Yes, yes. We call them the Co-Hens. I wonder what Nameberry would think of that.”

The insistence of schools and doctors that parenting is a women’s task is driving me mad!
Just this week I've had to fight with
The school when they insisted talking to my OH about picking up the kid who was sick, despite having told them dozens of times that I should be the main emergency contact.
The GP when I requested an appointment for our newborn, and gave them my phone number to call, yet they call my wife rather than myself. My apparently my wife told them to hang up and dial my number, but they never did, so I had to call them several hours later to chase this up.
The health visitors who insisted they cannot talk to me (baby's dad!) due to GDPR.
This is all insane! Is it so unthinkable to you all that dad's are involved in their kids' upbringing?!
My three year old is a huge fan of natural disaster movies. Either I’m raising a future scientist or a new super villain. The jury is still out.
One of my kid's math games from school is an RPG complete with imitation Final Fantasy VII fight music. I'm impressed lol.

The name Kohen (or Cohen) is skyrocketing in popularity, but only in red states, while Mira is all over blue states. What's driving the popularity of these traditionally Jewish names? Forward's Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox have thoughts. Mira: "Does Cohen mean anything else, besides being a priest?" Benyamin: "Sure, it means, 'Hi, I’m a Jew.'"
