1 May 2020: Daily Lovely + a humor

And we thought March was interminable. Friends, we’ve made it to May, not that much else has changed. It’s been a hard week. Today starts our eighth one at home, and the national news remains grim.

To counter that, I offer you this: Anderson Cooper welcomes his new son. I am so thrilled for him, and this moved me to tears.

Meanwhile, this had me LingOL.

Today I talked to one of my best friends from college, and I now have a fabulously funny story to share with you.

A is a marvelous mother of three, truly marvelous. Like, she is an EXCEPTIONAL mom. This Easter, she tried to make extra-creative baskets since everyone was stuck at home and figured that since her entire family liked the game Exploding Kittens she’d give her oldest a new extension set of it.

Last night, she, her husband, and the three kiddos sat down to play. Her oldest is 14 and youngest is 7, and while she sort of wondered if something was off based on the first few cards, when the little one read this:

she looked intently and with alarm at the game packaging and then noted that it said:

Not Safe For Work, explicit content.

She texted me today: “I inadvertently got the x rated version which we just tried to play as a family. It was bad and Matty could read the cards aloud.” with many laughing emojis.

I replied, “This is the best mistake ever. Give me an example. I am dying.” More emojis.

She then texted me the above image plus these:

I later looked on amazon and read this:

Dead. I was and remain in complete hysterics. She said her husband and oldest were cry-laughing, and her younger two looked a bit puzzled. My children now think we should purchase this version. #wombats

Y’all, this weather. :( Everything is wonky enough- can’t we just have some sunshine and warmth? Jesus. Earlier today I buried my frustration in a bag of salt and vinegar chips, but it was only a momentary respite.

Also:

Loveliness in tough times. A street wedding.

I love this woman’s wrong yet delightful answer.

The Liar Tweets Tonight. Magnificent! Turn of the volume and hum along!

Take care of yourselves!!
