We know everyone's out of practice with the outside world after months of lockdown. But is it really necessary to measure the hand grips on the monkey bars before your kids play, as this article suggests?
We complain about those times when an adorable moppet inserts themselves into an adult conversation (or meeting), usually at the parent's invitation. Should we be gracious about this, or expect better behavior from grown-ups?
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, the Making It makers created with (but didn't bake) cookies and then built little lending libraries for goodies like tools, spices, sporting goods, and kites. We will be watching to see whether the judges follow through on their "no changing your design or you're going home" policy. Next week: season 3, episode 3.
On Veronica Mars, the episode titled "Losing Streak" really did include streaking (the mayor sprinting through town in the buff). And we are losing it with Veronica's unhappiness and repeated accusations against Weevil. Three episodes to go! Next: "Entering a World of Pain."
When we heard about Ariana Grande giving away $1 million in free therapy services, we started brainstorming about what kind of benefactors we'd be if we had the funds--like create an elite squad of customer service ninjas for parents. Mentioned: Medical debt forgiveness (benefiting RIP Medical Debt); MacKenzie Scott.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Terri has a powerful new phone charger that solves the problem of missing and decomposing charger cords.
