It was good, too!
Sometimes, I think this city just likes to mess with my head.
Expensive food. Expensive food. $2 PITA! Expensive food...

This was a couple of years back...
So my nephew, who was about 4 or 5 at the time, is best friends with a little girl who is about a year or so younger than him.
At a Birthday party for my nephew, I was chatting with the little girl's parents, who were remarking that while they were having a fairly easy time potty-training her, getting her to wash her hands afterwards was not going very well. They had explained to her that when you use the bathroom, you can get germs on your hands, so it is important to wash them right afterwards, everytime. And yet consistently, she would be so eager to get back to playing that she would skip the handwashing.
Sure enough, right on cue, the little girl comes running up to her parents.
Dad: "And where you have been, hmm?"
Little Girl: "Using the potty!"
Mom: "Did you put the seat down, after?"
Little Girl: "Yes!"
Dad: "Did you wash your hands, after?"
Little Girl: "No, I didn' use my hands so noooo washing!"
Mom: "Wait...you didn't use your hands at all? How did you get the seat back down?"
Little Girl: "With my mouth!"
Dad: "..."
Mom: "..."
Dad: "...you didn't really use your mouth, did you?"
Little Girl: "...um...no..."
Mom & Dad stare at her.
Little Girl: "...yes."
In the meantime, I excuse myself to go outside and laugh so hard that I thought I was going to pass out.

never underestimate a child's inventiveness. Yoda wasn't kidding when he said we should have minds like children.

Oh yeah!
Of course, the one I was looking for was this one.
All super-hero movies should be set in the 1970's from now on.

Children...
I still fondly remember playing with a AC plug that had severed cord and gave a jolt when plugged into socket.
*bzzzt*
That was fun.
Regretfully parents took it away from me and my brother.
COOL! You could have used it for a realistic demonstration of shocking grasp when playing!

You are aware that my kneejerk reaction to people asking me if I want kids is to either decline because I'm watching calories or ask if they have soy sauce?
I like kids. I don't want kids.

More of a jolt actually from my experience. Never mind that AC was 220 V with a lethal current.

Your comment about listing the furniture on Craigslist inspired me to look for movers on Craigslist. I found some and they are cheap. I don't know if I would trust them for a major long distance move, but to haul a few pieces across town they will be perfect.
+1.
Still, I would like to have had a courier adventure moving your stuff. The random encounters alone would have been awesome!Bitter Thorn |

We just put a couple of lances on the map and had at it. We tried to teach his sons how to play, but attention span is a challenge.
Anything we do for a campaign (if that happens) would be pre dark ages.

Good hydration helps with adjusting to the altitude.
Welcome to Colorado!
Thank you! And if you're in Colorado Springs, try to stay dry. Is it still flooding there?

Sweet! Just keep an eye on 'em. Preferably two.

I feel kind of ticked off now. My former DM (the one playing the Wizard in Kingmaker currently) clearly isn't willing to ease up with regards to homebrew material, even when I've shown to be far more generous than him as a DM (when it comes to options, official or otherwise) and that doing so has only brought positive feedback on the table. I'll probably calm down soon enough, though currently I feel like I should either take away all the stuff I planned on giving him, or just killing his character outright.
Why should I be so lenient with him if he won't do the same to me?

Welcome to Colorado!
The worst flooding seems to be on the west side where state and federal land managers utterly failed to remediate after after last years fires. The burn scars remain almost totally barren. Much of the top soil is now gone the problem has gotten worse. Now when it rains in the mountains and foothills it crashes down and overwhelms the man made drainage and the local creek. It can go from a trickle in the creek to 15+ feet in a matter of minutes.
Black Forest up north of me is having similar issues, but the terrain is not as steep, and much of the land is private so remediation efforts are less hampered.
I live south east of the Springs, and we have a very good combination of topography and drainage. Even the most violent rain I have seen doesn't come close to threatening the house.
Tornadoes, while rare in my neighborhood, are a different story.
