Good Humor by CK Steefel's avatar

OMG! So funny.

I just finally tossed all my kids art. We moved it across country twice and to a few different houses. We are moving east to be closer to the kids and I got rid of all their finger painting, collages… They didn’t want anything!

The invites are hilarious.

I have 100 years of recipe cards I can't even give away to family. However the stories with them are priceless

By the time I finished grad school, I didn’t have any party and didn’t go to graduation. As best I can remember, I picked up a rotisserie chicken and watched NBA playoffs at home by myself. 🤣

Some accomplishments are too tiring to celebrate

This is great -- loved it. Should probably also be an announcement along the lines of: Congratulations. Enjoy your commencement speech -- it will be written by AI, as will every other chapter of your life.

Funny and sad. Commencement speeches are rich material for humor! I should write a piece about those.

“Gifts optional, but expected.” Perfect! We have one graduating from pre-school and another from kindergarten, so this feels relevant.
