Hello! You know, when I was a kid I always wanted to get horseback lessons? I never got those, but I did learn to code, so that's pretty cool. Anyway! We've been working on horses a little, although mostly it seems like we'll be pouring hours into taste, which seems to be a result of the outside destabilization?

Balancing spinning tops is always kind of a headache. I hope some of you found those loopholes! There's some of those bats in here, too, and I've been carrying things around to fend them off all week. Some people keep herding them into heavily populated areas in the building, though. What a pain!

As of this post taste tier 1 has been icly regained; it includes grains. Also as of this post, horses are now recognized in fictional books, games and movies. This is extended to merchandise as well such as the world-equivalent of My Little Pony.

"you're"

I don't think I know anyone your age. is your son going to high school or university? I'm not attending either one so don't ask

no, he just got back home not long ago. my second son is in early admittense for colledge!

[She'll casually skirt the "he got out of jail" thing for her oldest in favor of bragging about her smart smart boy!!]

"admittance" and "college" but I had to look up that first one

how many kids do you have?

[FRUSTRATING but the fact that Lalli seems to be on her side when it comes to spelling makes it a little less humiliating.]

I have 4 boys!

that's too many

I kno! I shold have at least 1 girl.

[She's just laughing at her phone at that, honestly.]

but then you'd have to have five kids and that's a lot

oh "know" and "should"

oh, I thought I saw people using kno in texts. Confusing!

but 5 kids can't be harder than 4. after 2 it doesn't really seem much different.

you probably did because people like to shorten words even if it's just by one letter it's dumb

that doesn't sound right but I have no experience to make an argument from

it helps that I lvoe my kids! Rowdy as they are it'd be so lonly without them.

love was probably just a mistake but it's lonely

that sentence is weird if you don't know I'm just correcting you

is there anyone helping you raise them?

Well, for now it's just me. Their father had a lot of good, good friends... so sometimes I can ask for help. But I wouldnt want to burden anyone.

[…]

I see

[And he understands, sort of.]

do you have friends? or just him?

my boys do tease me about making more friends or going dating again.

I think it's okay not to if you don't really want to

I don't have a lot of friends but I like what I have

Well, the more my boys start moving out, the more I think about listening to them for once. I have a few work friends! I really wanted to go back to school to finish my education.

why would you when you already have a job

unless you hate your job

no my job is fine. Its just that my boys are all so smart and I cant help them the way I want to.

if they're smart they probably don't need help so if it's just to make you feel good about yourself it's probably not worth it

[do Not take life lessons from this boy.]
