Growing up, we had a frosted-glass front door, which meant I could sorta see my dog, but he couldn't see that I could see him... but he could hear me. He would wait for me at the front door, and as I approached he'd get all excited and run up and down the stairs in excitement. And as I opened the front door, he'd plop on his side and pretend he was sound asleep to play it cool.

I so admire all men who do this with their daughters. Or sons if they so choose.

It happened to my son. Thankfully he was too young to really notice. Plus we were at an arcade so he was happy to get the extra tokens. I, however, was pissed since I had to pay 13$/kid BEFORE the party. 10 kids had rsvp'd. So ~200$ total for my son and his little sister to hang out at the arcade.

Oh I was so terrified during my dissertation defense I mixed up HMG the hormone you give women to induce ovulation with HCG the hormone you make when pregnant. I'm still embarrassed, but I passed lol

I like to think about this tweet whenever dublin bus doesn't show up. Unfortunately it's more often than I'd like. Maybe the buses sleep I'm a lot!

Many years ago I was laying out fabric and a dress pattern on the floor. Our Blue Heeler was at the door, and I was on the other side of the room. Rather than running across the fabric and tissue paper, she walked carefully around the edge to get to me. No damage at all.

I took my oldest to his first haunted corn maze when he was 10. Turned out to be too scary for him. So I was loudly talking "it's almost over, I'm sorry it's too scary buddy"...all the corn actors came out of the stalks and just let us walk through without jumping out. Bless those teens.

During my one year of college, part of my commute was a roughly 20 minute walk to the train station at 5:30 in the morning. I always had to leave five minutes or so earlier than strictly necessary because there was a Basset along the way who would wake up the neighborhood if I didn't stop and cuddle for a few minutes. I rarely walked home the same way, but one evening I did, the dog rushed out to greet me, and the man who was in the yard asked if I was the one who got Edgar so excited in the mornings. All he could see from his bedroom window was the dog accepting/giving love at the fence.

I love the way Mamma is all neat and dignified and sweetly holding her baby even in sleep, and the teenagers are sprawled with open mouths.

Haha. My 7 year old said "Daddy is the tooth fairy", and my teenager said "no, he's too cheap, the tooth fairy must be real". So, thanks?

That's sweet. My daughter (7) asked me why the Nazis were bad at bedtime... :-O I said there's plenty of time to learn about that in history classes and at synagogue. For now, it's sleepytime.

My son (2) asked me once where the night had gone, and I said "It's daytime here now, so the night is on the other side of the Earth" and he replied "Phew, that was a close one!"

It's also usually just something ridiculously simply like "she's nagging me" "she keeps asking me to do stuff", as if household chores and child-rearing is the sole responsibility of the wife.

Last year I reconnected with my best friend from primary school. He moved abroad when we were about to start middle school. At that time email was the only internet connection most people had in my country (~2005-2010) but only our parents had email accounts so we exchanged emails through their accounts. But the connection eventually fell off. I always thought of him, never forget his birthday date, and unsuccessfully tried finding him on social media for years. Then last year another friend recognized him in an old photo I posted and passed me his account handle (not with his name). I was ecstatic! We spoke for days as we reconnected! We realized we both even ended up in the same field (medicine)!

Thanks! These made me smile a lot but a few onion ninjas crept in there as well. I'm not complaining, however.
