I used to call a zebra a “pajama horse” and squirrel monkeys “fireplace monkeys”.
How do I remember this? Because my mom still likes to bring this up, every single chance she gets 🤦♀️
Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)
Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.

It’s been popular in the Netherlands for decades under the name “Buurman en Buurman”(Neighbor and Neighbor).
I only learned now that the dubbing was something they did specifically with the Dutch release. Can’t imagine this show being silent.
My parents made me take typing lessons when I was in primary school. I had to learn on an extremely heavy electric typewriter with the keycaps taped off.
It was a lot of work but I’m still enjoying the benefits of it.
Fun little difference was that we used QWERTY, but the ‘;’ was replaced with a ‘ij’


Parasitical worms. I’d like to say why, but just thinking about it already makes me shudder.


I was in pre-school and it was my turn to clean up and sweep the floor. Instead, I put that broom between my legs and pretended to be a witch.
*sigh* Good times…
There’s plenty of movies that I like to rewatch, and most have been mentioned here already.
But the first movie I remember rewatching over and over again when I was little, was Labyrinth.
Funny enough I haven’t seen it in more than thirty years. It’s mostly nostalgia vibes by now, but I remember being in love with that movie back then.
