Sep 30, 2026, 1:35 PMAs the Childe’s birthday party wound down this weekend, a group of adults were talking about homeowner nonsense & Childe calmly deadpans from across the room:
“When you think about it we’re all homes.”
Adults: “Wh…at?”
*8-year-old waves their arms in the air excitedly & yells:
“TO BACTERIA AND PARASITES OF COURSE!”
