I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, a kind of internal audit of my own emotional responses, and it's led me down a fascinating, slightly unsettling rabbit hole.
My partner loves the sound of loud, obnoxious kids
My partner loves kids and watching shows about parenting or stuff with babies. Whether it's funny videos of babies or old nanny reality shows from the 2000s. He will watch anything with little kids and find it adorable. He likes the squealing giggle a baby does when it claps and is excited. The sound of a baby crying drives me insane. I can't handle it. The good thing is he's not pressuring me to have kids but our viewing habits couldn't be any different. Seriously, I'll hear him watching something (even if it's just a diaper commercial and a baby cries) and I instantly tense up. Do I buy him headphones to listen in silence or what?
Buff'ed paprika salt seasoning
I already feel you rolling your eyes at this one. Hey, by now you've figured out my recipes are totally unconventional -- and that's what makes them fun!
