Ordered lab coats (three sizes to fit through age 13) for the kid to make science extra fun. I'm planning on ordering some fabric pain or fabric markers as well, but I'll take some more time deciding what to get. I painted a lab coat in Girl Scouts when I was a teenager, and that was super fun.

Played a mind game on a cop. Got out if getting a ticket. Tbf the ticket was bullshit as I weren't speeding. I have a certified speedometer and it logs my speed.

The usual. Spent some time reading books to my kid because I warned him that we would run out of time for reading if he didn't cooperate with toothbrushing.

I saw something that said to reward kids for reading, and that is BS. Reading is intrinsically enjoyable, and rewarding them will erode their intrinsic enjoyment. However, reading can be used as a reward if you've exhausted all other options.

Answered lots of questions from the kid about what different animals eat. He wanted a parrot and said, "Parrots don't eat anything. They just fly around." I laughed, and that started a whole game of him telling me that all the animals eat nothing and laughing. Then he started using nonsense sounds instead of real animals and asking me what that ate, so I said nothing, and he said, "You're correct!"
