This is my art I sent them. I’m also going to have a piece in an actual museum for the first time in a few weeks, and honestly, I think I’m more excited about this.
Thank you Emily W. (age 36) for sending us your submission to our children’s art contest. It wasn’t eligible for the contest (the techniques are too advanced) but it’s hanging in our prestigious art museum (my cubicle wall).

My 101 year old grandma definitely knows about electric cars. She’s also still a bit bitter that she had to stop driving at 94.
However, my other grandma, who’s only 91, does not know how to put gas in her car. She’s been driving for like 70 years, and never learned. 🤷♀️

There are drugs that terminate an early pregnancy, or in other words induce an abortion. Those are different than birth control drugs, which prevent conception from occurring. Calling birth control “abortion inducing drugs” is factually incorrect.

Customization is key, imho. Salad where you choose from a list of ingredients and dressings, rice bowls where you choose from a list of toppings, etc.
Also adult portions of kids menu foods like grilled cheese, PB&J, mac and cheese, pizza, chicken nuggets, etc.

It sounds harsh because it IS harsh. And unreasonable. If you expect a young student to subsidize your very expensive meal, don’t go. Splitting the check evenly is common if everyone ordered at about the same price point, but not when there’s a dramatic difference like that.

It seems unlikely he would break BOTH arms falling out of a chair, as he would likely have fallen to one side. And preschool chairs are like 2 inches off the ground, so there’s also that. He may have reported both arms hurting, and she inferred from that, or may all be made up.
