  • There’s a rhombus on my argyle sock There’s a rhombus on my argyle sweater There’s a rhombus, on that diamond back snake Rhombus, oh you’d better not pet her I saw a rhombus shaped kite flying up in the sky I saw a rhombus shaped marking on the head of a horse I saw a rhombus shaped sandwich at a fancy party And a rhombus shaped sign that said baby on board A rhombus is a diamond With all sides the same length BOT A: You can measure it You can ride a bus, but have you ever ridden rhombus? BOT A: This playing card has a diamond on it BOT B: I prefer to call it a rhombus BOT A: Go fish! See a rhombus on a jeweled crown Run a rhombus when you hit a home run With a rhombus you can draw a manta ray A rhombus is all kinds of fun! It’s a rhombus BOT A: You look nice in that argyle sweater BOT B: Thank you. It was a gift from the horse.

  • As a dad with a four, three, and two year old, I’m in full support of this.

    I don’t remember elf on the shelf as a kid.

    The whole concept is creepy and I’m comfortable teaching my kiddos to be good to impress Santa - whose existence is on par with spider-man, superman, etc. - so he’d WANT to give them presents, for being good humans.

    But I fully admit i still don’t know what I’m doing 95% of the time as a parent…

    EDIT: by “in full support of this” I mean abandoning the practice of elf on the shelf, not bounding and hooding said elf





  • Heck yeah.

    Even better as a dad, paying the measly $5/mo for PBS passport, so I can stumble upon worthwhile content (Nature, American Experience, This Old House before they shifted to separate subscription, random local gems like Arizona Stories, etc…) while also seeing my kiddos enjoy PBS kids (free BTW)
