And more than one skeleton.

We named a large house spider that often ended up in the bath ‘Pete’. Our young children were much less afraid of it after that.
I know fear of spiders is a useful survival instinct, but again where we live they’re just happy cohabitants.
Is there any good reason to limit a text field like that these days? Although, UCAS probably still rocking a System/360…
I’d hate to see the version with poorly drawn hands…

Seeing your kids on stage is magic—my son has been in various professional and amateur roles since he was 10. He can act and sing, which opened up musicals too. Having several aspects to performance has definitely helped him. Actor musicians can be in great demand, but since there are few (compared to actor / singer / dancer), I don’t think there are as many opportunities as there might be.
If your kids are ok with the acting side, definitely encourage them.
On a related note, I was also involved in the building of a new theatre at my kids school, and I tried to convince them to not restrict it to the music and drama departments. No matter what field you’re going to go into, being confident in front of an audience (even just presenting on your own subject) is a valuable skill that theatre can teach. I’m now grey enough to not worry about speaking to an audience. I wish I’d had that confidence earlier in my career.
I started volunteering at a children’s theatre. Just finished the third of three production runs, seeing kids from 8 to 18 astound audiences with performances that surpass professional productions I’ve seen. It’s renewed my belief in the power of the arts to change lives, when my whole training and professional life has been in the sciences.
Atheist really means a definite belief that there is no god. Agnostic is less ‘strong’, asserting that it's impossible to know how the universe was created and whether or not divine beings exist.
That is a lovely little vignette. Thank you for a glimpse into your world :)
You know how propane has no smell, and that is added for safety? So perhaps they add a bit of poop as the last step, just for safety…
Just hide the details.
Yeah, that kind of thing really is a big of a problem.
