A POST-HOLIDAY WORLD AT WALMART
As the parking lot snow has melted, the plow’s no holds barred approach has become more apparent. There were even more twisted carts this week. Inside, Christmas quickly gave way to Valentine’s Day, but the toy aisles were restocked with toilet paper. Like seven aisles of toilet paper. I wanted paper towels that week.
Those aren't Legos...

BITING HIS STYLE
Luis is really proud of the way he crops himself out of his own selfies. Just ask him about the Superllama wedding photo. Behind the scenes photography is his other favorite style. When we all went out to play in the snow, he took individual selfies with the kids. When he came to me, I decided to take a behind the scenes selfie and crop myself out.
Betty had an optional assignment to share her holiday traditions, and I thought she would draw pictures after I wrote down her answers, like “Spanglish” and “eating.” She drew a big pretzel (cropped out here by Issuu) and called it a day. I laughed when I saw the school had publicly shared her responses.

BABY LOVES RETURNS
Back when we had an hour to kill between the end of Betty’s day and the end of Boom’s, the library was a convenient place to hang out. We were there so often that I didn’t have to go down the receipt and be sure everything was in my bag of books to return because we’d be back there soon enough. Then came COVID-19. I forgot Baby Loves Quarks in March and only now returned it Jan. 8.
MIND THE GAP
After seeing a listical about things Americans do that shock other countries, bathroom stall gaps seemed to keep coming up in my social media. What would America be like if public bathrooms offered privacy? I never think about how horrifying that gap is, but now it has me wondering about how all the kids who’ve been doing remote school for a year will adjust when they go back.
