The most effective way to teach your kids to cooperate towards common goals is to declare a national prank day
Anyone have any recommendations for a good bad-ass mermaid story? The four-year-old is getting super into them, and The Little Mermaid (at least the old one?) is maybe the worst of the prince-chasing genre

ALT Text messages from my wife, reading “On the way into school of course, the hot topic was tooth fairy losing teeth. The going rate for a tooth is five dollars, per his friends. And he also said that he was really suspicious of the parents. And I said, what do you mean? And he says I think moms and dads go in the middle of the night to take the tooth and put money under the pillow. I said, why the heck would I get up in the middle of the night? So I didn't deny or confirm it but there's that.”
