Sharing from Instagram. This made my day. Full post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPWjh5IjS2d/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Side note: When I shared it with my spouse, I gave him instructions for how to experience the post (the original video is the last panel, reactions come first) since he doesn't really know how to use social media beyond LinkedIn.

Faranae Ah thank you for a little bit of sunshine today! 2mo

A certain someone‘s voice is cacophonous to me. While in the literal sense of the word I might be wrong but the physical response I get when I accidentally hear it makes it seem so.

CBee Nice! I always heard it said “pablum” in reference to baby food - maybe sort of a rice cereal? My boys never liked it 😂 6mo
lil1inblue @CBee I guess Pablum was a brand name for baby cereal, and the name was based on this word! Kinda interesting! 6mo
CBee @lil1inblue very! 6mo

Mellifluous is also a pleasant word to say! I love that the Latin translates almost literally to 'flows like honey' 🍯
