Unsolicited, unrelated to any current topic of conversation, and the first anyone had heard anything about the idea, "So when can I start buying low-quality items on Temu and then selling them to other people for higher prices?"

My parents have been staying with us over the summer. My mom has been a HUGE help around the house and making dinner. My son has been enjoying her cooking.

Me: Ah-ma is only staying with us until Friday. Do you want her to make you anything?

10 YO boy: Awww... I like her cooking.   *pause*  Actually her cooking is just passively better, but It's just better than what mommy makes, which is really bad.

Got a frantic call to come meet him near the playground in order to remedy an emergency.

This is all because he thought he needed to bring a granola bar, water, and Band-Aids with him to go ride bikes for an hour.

How did he get the strap on the other side of the axle? Is he a wizard?

I don't know any of the details other than that I eventually opted to cut the strap rather than remove his entire rear wheel. The coaster brake prevented the easiest and most obvious fix. 

But I would point out that it is important we avoid the assumption he was wearing the backpack correctly.

Cat jumps into 3 year-old's bed and sticks her ass in his face.

He and his buddies spent the afternoon crashing various block parties around the general neighborhood today (none on blocks any of them live on), and Mrs. Doom is mortified by the reasonably likely - but not certain - prospect that they were just marauding around and acting like savages. He insists that they were well-behaved. 

He and one partner in crime each won a $5 Starbucks gift card for taking 3rd place in a "throw a water balloon back and forth and take one step backwards after each throw" contest.

Mrs. Doom dropped the boy off at the rec center to shoot hoops earlier this afternoon. Kids under 16 are allowed to be there unsupervised up until 5:30 or 6pm, at which point they're supposed to either leave or be chaperoned, but it's pretty loosely enforced. Nevertheless, she told him to call us if he was asked to leave. 

He replied that if he got hassled, he would, "just tell them I have dwarfisism [sic] and then start swearing, because older people swear a lot."

I asked my boy how his day went, and he said he was mad during class.

 

Me: "Why were you mad?"

Boy: "The stock market went down."

Me: "Why were you checking stocks during class?"

Boy: "Because I wanted to see how my stocks were doing. And I don't want them to go down."

 

He's 10.

I’m honored to say that watching the look on his face when you launched him across the pool (per his own discretion), was fan-fucking-tastic.

 

*And I still owe you a TV.

This just bought tears to my eyes.

I am 99.9% sure that when I'm dying, I'm going to think of (among other things) this thread and these dudes being little dudes.

This is my favorite internet thread of all time.

I can't wait to see Doomlet live, because there is almost no way he isn't going to be some kind of stand up comedian.
