"What happened to Prince Andrew?"
"The Wicked Witch ratified him! And if you don't bring her a wedge of cheese by tomorrow eve, she'll ratify you too!"
"Hmm... If we got her to ratify the entire population of Wooddale, that might solve our overpopulation problems..."
They've even destroyed a medium small tree
The most frustrating part of my day is my dog's playdate with the neighbor pup. They used to wrassle and romp, but now they spend the entire time eating mulch and demolishing succulents.
I want her to have her outside play, but at the same time BITCH WHY U KEEP EATING THE FERN?!? STAHHHP

Top experience of this past week?
And for some reason I don't feel like taking my other sock off, so... Here I am. Single socked. Confused. Eating apples.
I've been walking around the house wearing one sock, which means that at some point in time I took off a single sock. I do not remember doing this, and cannot fathom why I might have done so.
I enjoyed your post about the conference of versions of yourself.
I like your shade of orange. π§‘

How do you tell in advance which it is?
2) Allow for a release - There was a part of me that really needed to be heard and express itself about camping aversion, and now that it is heard I feel free / released from an inner tension, so I can enjoy the enjoyable parts of camping without feeling like I'm betraying my inner Campin Hater
The act of saying something out loud to another person can either:
1) Entrench a narrative - Consistency bias will cause you to maintain this thing you said. eg "I told everyone I hate camping, so I will find things to dislike about this camping trip I'm on because I am a Camping Hating Person"
