My contribution is a very practical tip for parents: When you need to carry a kid sitting on your shoulders, first pick them up and have them sit with both legs on your right shoulder. Then, with your right hand, grab the kid’s right leg, and with your left hand grab the kid’s left leg and lift it over your head to place it in your left shoulder. Mirror the maneuver if necessary. The result is a quick lift-sit-and-switch technique, and fewers kicks to the head.
I love this one, reminded me of a similar insult in Chilean Spanish: “Le faltan palos pal puente” (he’s a few sticks short for a bridge)
In Chile, not really an insult but rather a lament over how dumb people are sometimes:
“Si los weones volaran, pasaría nublado” (If dumb people could fly it would always be cloudy)
Chile here, love Argentinian insult acronyms like LPQTRMP
Malvavisco in Spanish as others mentioned, but in Chile we also call some varieties “guagüitas” (little babies) for some reason
Ever since I have been married with kids
My days are too short for me to give a shit
We’re like monkeys in a zoo to them
People love seeing monkeys in the zoo, the closer the better! I think if we could travel to other planets to check out other life forms we would do it all the time. I don’t believe aliens have come here, but if they exist and could come see us they would totally do it for the same reasons we would want to go see them. Makes sense to me!
Well, you can fact check later right? If nothing else kids will learn to be bored again, which is good.
Is VR really so ubiquitous to warrant these concerns? In my opinion most of the warnings about how this technology encourages “escaping reality” apply more to things that have had an established place in society for decades, namely phones, social media and online gaming. I have two kids and a VR headset is the least of my concerns, but they could be sucked in to the non-reality of a personal phone in two seconds if I allow it.
