@CartoonsHateHer I have a child named Puff. Legally, she’s Matilda, but no one calls her that!

What’s a baby boy name that screams generational wealth and private school tuition?

@Darren_Mooney I literally have a child named Matilda, though. Have never participated in any Dahl-fandom equivalent to the HP thing. Feel like most kids really into Dahl became English lit majors like me 😂

The Roald Dahl books, while hugely culturally important, did not have the single-minded and rapidly-moving machinery of several international conglomerates working behind them to craft movies, theme parks and online spaces to turn them into an augmented reality - or a lifestyle.

My generation read Roald Dahl books as kids but we didnt build our identities around them nor did the books become a constant debate point in endless discourses. Thats the thing I don’t understand about the Harry Potter phenomenon, which are children’s books at the end of the day

@MikeIsaac Lived there for two years, I cried once when I got a poorly-timed “you alright?” at my local off-license. TERRIBLE intonation every time.

another british thing that fucked with me when i visited
many times i was greeted with “are you alright?” in such an intonation that i thought they were asking what was wrong with me
i got caught off guard every time and once checked to see if i had spilled something on myself

@clhubes @Shaunahue Almost named my baby Gertrude! Went with Matilda instead. Her sister (4) is Louise and, weirdly, I know three Eloise’s that same age. Old lady babies!

@realgirl_fieri Such a rude awakening last summer when I went from having one almost-four year old (and joyfully carrying a tiny purse without any kid stuff) to an almost-four year old and a newborn. The amount of STUFF it takes to go anywhere now is insane.

@clhubes @realgirl_fieri I went to urgent care for the aggressive chills one!!! 😂

@JennieMacLean @rossmac_d @clhubes Yep. @ marthabalbright. I haven’t updated it in ages— these pics are my new house! Very lucky to be a SAHM and take on projects of family and friends when I have bandwidth and time.

@marycatedelvey @rossmac_d @clhubes No rules! I just like to have some neutral space for the eye to “rest” when there’s lots of pattern and color.
