I wish my brain cells would work together. I call it neurodiplomacy.

10:30 pm. Kiddo barges into my room.
Me: hey, what are you doing out of bed?
Kid: MAGIC!
I see I'm not the only fiction writer in this house.

We have been using slang terms wrong or in situations where it may be technically accurate but somehow contextually wrong, and the 10yo is losing it.
It is SO. FUNNY.

I feel like I’m gonna regret this, but in order to better understand #ThisKid (my 10yo grandson), I need to know who Car the Cat from Garn47 is, and I need to know about the musical group “femtanyl”.
Please help.

Here’s the comms tower!
I have plans to help #THISKID build some more terrain, and I’ll let him take it home when we’re done.

We’re going south to pick up #THISKID over the weekend.
In preparation, I’ve started my very first 40K terrain!
A strawberry basket with Dollar Store bits (among other things) glued on makes a bunker of some sort, and stacked prescription bottles with more random plastic makes a comms tower!
Omg 😆 #ThisKid
We all want that little dude-but tell your dad as well. #FUElonAndTrump

We’re watching the Olympics, and he doesn’t mean any disrespect, but he saw the country name of Botswana, and started singing “Bots just wanna have fun” to the Cyndi Lauper tune.

So while the FLGS is too expensive for purchasing new minis, the staff is very helpful and friendly.
So we got some time on a real table with terrain and everything:
#THISKID #Nerdlings
As promised, here’s some photos of the Starter Set Space Marines that my grandson has painted.
A clear progression from his first attempts:
#THISKID
Over the weekend, we visited the FLGS in the mall, which (I should have known beforehand) puts a 30% markup on GW products.
It did have huge bins of used models, so we picked out a Biker Marine that was assembled and primed white.
Then we went to the actual Warhammer store.

Photo of a Warhammer 40K Tyranid Termagant, painted by me, and loosely inspired by the colors of a Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab.
Additional teammates include these colorful Tyranids, and some additional cards for the fighting game he’s inventing for these characters.

We have the Olympic Opening Ceremony on, and Argentina came up.
He says “I know that flag! That’s Argentina! MESSI SUCKS! RONALDO’S BETTER!”
I fell out. He’s so awesome.
I asked CJ what he wanted when I order groceries tomorrow. He brought me this list and I guarantee I'm now obligated to buy everything on it because it's just too freaking cute. #7ismyfavorite #thiskid
