Don't forget the 15 minutes of inexplicably staring out the window, when you sent them to put something warm on.

As a friend of mine said some years ago "VLC will play a slice of cucumber" that pretty much sums it up.

Seems like a generalized comment.

Some years ago, I was walking with my GF through the supermarket, we were looking at the sweets section, right at the end of the isle, when I let a very stinky fart go. I learned over and said we should go.

We walked to long way so we didn't have to walk through the cloud, 30-40s later, just after we had rounded the far end of the isle we heard:

Female voice: "oh my god, was that you! That is discussing" (loudly) Male voice: "no, it wasn't me"
Female voice: "why are you lying to me, you are always lying to me!" (Angrily)
Male voice: "but it wasn't me" (also angry)

I think I may have put the final nail in the coffin of a bad relationship with a fart

My partner and I still laugh about it 16 years later.

Whatever you do, don't talk to the kid if you are not in the room. Two way monitor is a bug not a feature.

Made that mistake once, kid was crying I thought it would be comforting to hear me.... Nope, disembodied voice freaked the fuck out of the poor little dude.

The extra 30-40s of crying while I walk up stairs is way better than the hour of hugs to get him back to sleep.

The lord of the rings!

I love reading....I read a lot. But Tolkien's style just never worked for me, the movies were great.

Grow your own, let them help. Then they are eating "their" zucchinis, it helps a lot.

Eat them small and sweet ~15cm (6in) long. Lightly steamed (add a very small amount of salt)/stir fried (last in once everything else cooked).

Over cooking turns them into terrible tasting mush.

I hate this trend.

I'm quite sensitive to light, and some of these LED's are stupid.
