Now is the time to fight back. Do whatever you can to help. March. Protest. Refuse to give in. Call. Support. Share. Believe. Stand up. Strengthen your community. Write about injustices. Spread the word. Every voice, every action, every person counts. Resist.

Yay!!! I’m so excited for these! Charlotte’s Web is my favorite of all the ones I’ve gotten from you over the years (though I love them all), but Derp might be a close second. I don’t know why I love KPDH so much but it’s so catchy!

Are they doing the cancan sitting down? Is that front leg even attached?!
Holly Chessman (@hollychessman.bsky.social) reply parent
Not a bad person. Just honest.
Holly Chessman (@hollychessman.bsky.social) reply parent
🤣🤣🤣 Or maybe that front leg is just taped on and the back one is real? Between the body position, the shape of the legs, and the fact that the front leg looks like it’s not attached, I think that sign is so goofy!
Holly Chessman (@hollychessman.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe they are doing floor jazzercise?

LOL! That’s actually totally what I thought at first! Then I was like, what the heck would someone do with my tooth brushing habits??? “Arrest this woman! She doesn’t get 100% of coverage when she brushes!” 🤣🤣🤣

If I were there, I’d come! It’d be fun to meet you and I love yard sales! But I live in MA. Not too far away, but far enough that I it wouldn’t be a quick ride. 😆
Holly Chessman (@hollychessman.bsky.social) reply parent
Luckily the bump my kid had was with a very kind lady who walked them through everything they had to know about taking pictures, sharing info, calling an adult for help, etc. there’s no need to yell when something like that happens. So rude.

That’s hilarious! I’m definitely sharing that with my family. My parents came over for dinner last night. My father is the king of puns. I like getting into pun wars with him because I know he loves it so much - and I always let him win, of course.

@hollychessman.bsky.social Why was Rivkah late to her Bat Mitzvah? She schlep in 💤 💤😴 Hebrew humorings 😉 I hope you’re having a nice weekend Holly. 💙✌️💙

That’s a good idea. At some point, kids will respond regularly, but they’ll always remember that you were there to support them. You are such a good parent.
Holly Chessman (@hollychessman.bsky.social) reply parent
LOL! I was just talking with my husband about the fact that any time he’s quiet, it’s so shocking that people think/hope he died. I’ve never wished death on someone, but I wouldn’t be unhappy if the natural process sped up a bit in this case.

My kid who got their driver’s license about six months ago had their first bump this summer. Just a scratch, but it shook them up. They were a good driver before, but now they’re a better driver - less overconfident.

Huzzah! OK, I’ll put the idea of a neck race gift on the back burner. Maybe I’ll just send you a lot of bubble wrap. 😆

That sounds like a good day! I’m packing up from a short visit to see my in-laws in Cape Cod. Later - this evening - my parents, my brother, and his four kids will be coming over for dinner. We’ll have a full house!

Thank you. 💖 And it works, too! I love the way people look when you smile randomly at them. There’s always a fraction of a moment of surprise, then an instant grin in return - one where their whole face lights up. It’s like they’re receiving an unexpected gift. 💖😀

You should know this answer! It's Silly Goose Sunday, and in addition to training for my new day job, I'm pissing off MAGA Rs who want us to be sad and stupid by being exceptionally, almost-unreasonably, very, very, silly.

Right?! Though to be fair, I always feel like it’s basically over by the beginning of August, because that’s when I have to start going through the closet to see what the kids grew out of, signing kids up for activities, planning for Thanksgiving, blah, blah, blah. 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
