If you want to learn what goes on at your child's school, host lots of gatherings, feed the whole crew and listen non-judgmentally.

There's a lot of problem stuff happening. But this group of kids, they're good and trying to make things better. They ROASTED today's "hip and relatable" assembly about drug abuse.

"Take an hour of sob stories and a middle-aged guy saying 'drugs are bad', add random snippets of popular music and laser lights. Apparently they think this is how to speak teenager."

Parenting thing I have recently grasped: When your kids ask a sex-related question, resist the urge to ask "Why do you want to know that?"

It puts the kid in an awkward position if they have to try to articulate that. Or they worry you'll think that they watched something they shouldn't have.

Or that you'll blame one of their friends for bringing up this topic.

Just assume they want to know because they are curious humans who want to learn.

Time for #SFSmyths with @dangerouslilly and @FunkitToys Is "toxic" a misnomer for jelly, PVC and TPR toys?

They might not cause cancer or use phthalates, but they can burn, cause infections. #sfsmyths
