I would also recommend The Guardian and Reuters - getting a perspective from outside the US taps into separate sources that are not predisposed to spin the reporting to a favorable light for the administration.

One time, out of nowhere, my youngest said, āI hate moths - theyāre like the butterflyās creepy uncle.ā I think about that a lot. Iām not sure what hidden wisdom that statement holds, but Iām sure itās there.

I love those accidentally funny/witty comments. One time when my oldest was like 9 or 10 (mid-20s now) was riding in the car with me on the interstate. That day there were a ton of semi trucks around us. She pipes up and says āWhat is this, the semi-finals?ā. It was so accidentally layered and funny

I stopped in a drive thru yesterday to grab a hamburger. I was behind a car with a beautiful, shiny Rottie that looked to be āteenagerā stage. Window down, head out, sniffing ALL the smells - living his best life. I had to say āHi puppy!ā And I got the best, derpiest smile back. Made my day!
