Italian Brainrot Per Favore e Grazie 🍝

And I win Best Mom Ever (duh)🏆

Happy hump day, y’all. I have a few exciting things to unpack like a NSFW youthy term, this “how to dance like a 40 year old” video that rings a bit too true, the #Godforbid trend on TikTok, and some Italian brainrot nonsense.

First, a parenting highlight. 📣 Hey you guys! I had a lovely right of passage with my daughter last week - we watched The Goonies. Was it problematic? Sure! Chunk, Data, Sloth. You remember.

But, it was also a gosh darn delight. And even more unexpected was that my mini tween loved it.

Afterwards, she decided to call my parents and breakdown the entire movie for them including the part when Troy throws a coin into the well and wishes to “make it with Andy.” Definitely waiting for my “best mom ever” trophy from them to arrive in the mail. 🏆

I hope lots of kids discover and love The Goonies. Let’s keep it alive, for the love of God! But if you hear the youths saying “goon,” please make no mistake. It has absolutely nothing to do with the 80s classic. They are talking about something much more intimate. More on that soon!

But first, a very exciting update. I decided to stand on business and finally unbox my Medicube AGE-R Booster pro that has been under the sink in my bathroom for roughly a couple weeks.

Two weeks seems rude, I know. Why? I was intimidated by it — and also because I was intimidated by it. But officially she met the world. I plugged her in. Charged her up, and then brought her to a friends so I had some accountability.
