A stark reminder of how dangerous the Apollo missions were! In hindsight it seems inevitable that they succeeded, but success was never a given.
Nixon’s speech if Apollo 11 had failed, in which case the astronauts were stranded on the Moon, 1969.

Literally the best description of cryptocurrency I’ve ever heard. Nine year old nailed it!.

Young children have such a strong belief in the possibility that “this time will be different”, especially when it almost certainly will not be. “Maybe this time I will eat that thing In asking you to buy for my lunches!”.
On the plane with a 5 year old whose parents won’t let him have headphones to listen to music because he always scream-sings along. [kind of yelling] “I won’t do it this time!”.“Buddy, you always say that, and it’s never true”.

9 is starting to mow the lawn this summer; he’s become interested in making money. I don’t mind as it saves me at least a little time. Today he said “Do I get paid extra because of the how hot it is?” 🤣.

Most real and relatable tweet I’ve seen in a while….
I once helped my husband cut a tree down, stacked wood all day, celebrated with a bonfire and 7 beers, then woke up and took a 4 mile run. Today, I spent 3 hours laying on a heating pad to rest my back because I sat too much at a meeting. Kids, listen to me. Do. Not. Get. Old.
