Do we get bonus points if it was talking to the nurse to make a doctor's appointment?

    I wear mismatching socks on purpose to see how long (or if) it takes someone to say something.

    Look, we all know the answer to this one; 2 dozen pairs of identically coloured socks. It's not rocket-science ...

    After I started putting one sock inside the other of the pair while folding laundry this problem went away.

    That's why I always buy black socks. They don't look dirty or sweaty and if they have the same height no one can tell the difference. On the bottom have written 2 different brands and no one can tell.

    It's because they love you and want yo to be a success. And pay attention to them.

    Becky Barnicoat has always loved drawing and started creating cartoons when she was young. Becky even did a school project in comic book form about her future career, but her teachers didn’t appreciate it and gave her a low grade. She thinks many people don’t understand that cartoons can be serious art. “I wish I could have shown them Maus so they could see how wrong they were, but I didn’t know it existed back then."

    But never make it a competition - just acknowledge that your friends are tired too. Friends are open about these things.

    I once as a child slept in a bed alone and ended up with my feet on the pillow and my head on the other end of the bed. It was quite distressing because the sheets and blanket were still in place when I woke up.

    Becky gets her inspiration from people and their faces. She enjoys drawing faces and caricatures, especially those that have unique or odd features. She recalls drawing a caricature of one of her teachers who looked a bit like a guinea pig. Even though the teacher wasn’t one of the bad ones, she felt awful when the teacher saw the drawing and was hurt by it. "I love weird faces so much and sometimes I see people on the street and their faces are just bizarre. The odder the shape the better it is."

    I like it, but in my life none of those pieces fit this precisely together :)

    When it comes to her art, Becky mostly draws from her imagination. She finds it fun to create different faces without needing references. She mainly uses pen and ink for her drawings and enjoys experimenting with other mediums like watercolors.

    No offence and no meaning to be rude, but I genuinely don't see the point in all this. It looks to me like a terrible and exhausting job whose aim is to make your kids able to grow up and leave. So basically you have all the headaches and once the headaches are over, your kids leave. Really, what is the point?

    No offense taken. I have 3 adult children who I love, but I completely understand where you are coming from.
