Conflicting Rules of Languages

There's plenty of variety among various languages. In some ways, the rules of two languages might not seem too different from each other. Other times, what occurs in one tongue is a totally foreign concept in another.
Personify the languages, imagine them having linguistics-related debates, and you get... today's blog post. Enjoy the insane ramblings of my brain.

Why I'd Be a Good Parent

Last week, we discussed reasons I fear I might not be a great parent, complete with my exaggerations and self-depreciating humor. This week, we'll talk about why I might potentially do a decent job of parenting.

Why I'd Be a Bad Parent

Yep, I'm doing yet another two-parter. Today's post is about the dark side of my grumpy, impatient self. And next week, we'll talk about the hypothetical scenario in which I actually live up to the high standards I have in my mind.

Dumb Ways I've Been Injured

I've seen lots of threads on social media and forums, asking people to relay some of the dumbest and strangest ways they've been injured. So, I thought I'd make a post dedicated to all the lame ways I've been maimed. (Usually as a result of me being foolish.)
