This is hysterical. And correct. Good for him.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake
I'm trying to find the polite way to inform the in-laws that this isn't actually a step in making pineapple upside down cake.
You're Running a Race (a riddle of sorts)
A riddle for your friends: you're running a race and you pass the person in 2nd place. What place are you in now? Every single person in my family has answered this incorrectly.
One Time, Long Ago…Cheez-It
After a 70-mile bike ride I rewarded myself with a box of Cheez-Its from Walmart. Soon my lips puffed up like a bee sting. I wrote it off, until it happened again. I phoned the number on the box, couldn't surrender the evidence (I'd eaten it), and never bought them there again.
Unexpected Advent Reading
10:58am, two minutes to church. Pastor: "Curtis, are you guys ready for this?" Me: "Ready for what?" Turns out it was our family's turn for the Advent reading, per an email I never saw. It went fine. The kids were thrilled to light a candle.

Would You Rather; Bad Dreams
My 4yo's best joke: would you rather eat ice cream or eat POOP? ChatGPT has no sense of humor. Meanwhile the baby seems to have had his first bad dream, with a cry unlike the usual hungry or dirty-diaper ones, and it took real effort to calm him down.
Programming & Parenting
Programming and parenting coexist beautifully for the few months a baby can't squirm, roll, or crawl. After that it's nearly impossible to get work done, though it stays fun to try. He rolled over at just shy of four months, noted for future reference.
