• This bears repeating… Parenting is a mental illness.

• You know the holiday season has begun when the clerk at the clothing stores barks at you to form the line “back there!” Joy to the world.

• This Hanukkah, all I want is for Marjorie Taylor Greene to find peace. Then rest in it.

• I’m thankful for whatever small chunk of my brain that remains human, having not been overrun by parenting brain. I’m also insanely envious of those smart enough to pull out.

• I’m also thankful for my two healthy and happy children. I love them more than just the moon and back.

 • See? It’s a goddamn mental illness.
