It’s usually those sugar-free drink mixes, so no antioxidants here.
He’s 2, so he’s still taking a midday nap, there’s no time of day when caffeine wouldn’t throw off his sleep schedule
Also, in our unique position, he has a heart condition, so caffeine might actually be out for his whole life
My wife is taking Friday off to celebrate her birthday!
I really try not to
If I have my morning caffeine and my 2yo asks for some, I make a point of saying “this has caffeine, which isn’t good for people your age” instead of the easier “this is yucky, you don’t want it”.
I think it’s important to teach that if someone’s sharing something that’s theirs, they get to decide how much they share. So I’m usually pretty firm with “this is mine, but I’ll let you have some”
It’s a two-edged sword though. My 2yo has called me out on the hypocrisy of the “Dad Tax”, so I’ve had to give it up 😭
Mine just picked that up! We go for a walk to the park after lunch every day, and he’s started saying “park after lunch” when I’m getting his lunch ready XD

I guess “serious injury from stumbling on level ground” isn’t something cats really have to worry about XD
My cat actually does know that! He doesn’t mess with my legs when it’s dark XD
I don’t think my cat knows that he’s faster than me, he is very dumb XD
Nope, I’ve seen elephants and have had no such temptation XD
Maybe some sort of clonal shrub, like an aspen but shorter? XD
Thanks for the correction!
Yup! It just becomes a problem when the common enemy is another group of sapient beings (even worse when they’re humans) instead of things like climate change or starvation
A cancer doesn’t plan
“Vertical.”
Starship Troopers taught me one of the most important lessons I’ve ever learned: I am not immune to propaganda
Definitely understood that it was satire, but the idea of unifying to fight against a common enemy hits me in ways that I need to understand and account for
Still in the Americas, I suppose?
The linguist in me now feels the same way about Brazilian profanity that the engineer in me feels about fighter jets

If I shared a home with a 36' tall, 2-ton creature, I would be very careful to stay away from its feet while it walked
So why do my cats dive in front of mine so frequently!?
