Me: I’m so tired I want to die. 4 yr-old: Mom, do Daisy Duck. Me: *Daisy Duck impression from underneath a pillow* 4 yr-old (laughs hysterically): That’s the best in the world! Me: I could probably raise 3 or 4 more children.

If a storyline involving @sam_buttrey isn’t in the cards for #OMITB - as a @SteveMartinToGo relative, perhaps?- then I truly don’t understand what the people want. (You will be SO missed, Sam! #jeopardymasters)

Dear good people of @NintendoAmerica (and @ZeldaUniverse peeps and anyone else who loves #Zelda and #BOTW)... My 7 year-old has some gentle suggestions in advance of #botw2. He says anyone in charge can have these for free.

This was a delightful thread. I really- nerdily- got excited towards the end of the list. WHO'S GONNA WIN?!

The House of Faberge made 52 "Imperial" eggs as Easter gifts for Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II to give to their wives and moms. 46 of these survive. I will rank all 46 Imperial Faberge eggs.
In 1939 Adolf Hitler was nominated for the #NobelPeacePrize.

Husband was pulled over by the police on his way home from work. Around 2/2:30 am. They told him to get out of the car from the speaker thing they have. He refused. They walked up on either sides of the car. Flashlight in his face. Neither cop had a mask on. They again...
Whuuuut.

We used Covid-19 shutdown to do projects that would’ve been inconvenient for residents regularly (street paving, park renovations etc). One project was ripping up the 1960s vinyl floor at city hall. We thought we’d find garbage but instead we found the original from 100 yrs ago

Our students have faced a lot of adversity this school year. We wanted to give them the chance to share their thoughts and experiences with our entire CPS family.
With all of the great @oldtownschool classes make the switch to online instruction, you didn’t think they’d leave their beloved Wiggleworms behind, did you? #Chicago tinies (and #parents), get your wiggle on! (New session May 4th!) bit.ly/2y1rNLo

Have we considered consulting Dr. Dre about coronavirus, seeing as we have apparently gone through all other available doctors

Suzy (8), staring out the window: ... Me: Let’s finish up your work and then you can go out back and see what’s what! Suzy (wistfully): It would be easier if “what’s what” didn’t make so many exciting noises... #quarantinelife
You are a treasure, @elclimo. And you are about to make me a goshdarn household hero. ❤️

It's a #StPatricksDay penguin party! 💚🐧 While we can't go out & party, the animals can! Our caretakers are committed to providing enriching activities (like edible shamrocks) for the animals with or without guests here to see it. Check in throughout the day to see more!

“This will pass... we’ve learned a lot.” The President keeps talking like he’s in the last scene of Jurassic Park, when really we’re in the part of the movie where the dinosaurs discover the fences are no longer electrified. – at Toledo, OH

Weird how many people who were dead wrong about “electability” in 2016 are still experts on it today!
