Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

"Parent brain" is a very real phenomenon and Emily Vondy is here with evidence.

Normally when we hear stories about parents forgetting their children's birthdays, the parent plays the role of the villain. In Emily's case, though, she comes across as more of a sympathetic character.

She wasn't forgetting to celebrate her young son's birthday—she was just celebrating it on the wrong day. Somehow, she got the day she gave birth mixed up.

She didn't realize it until a billing issue for a doctor's visit caused confusion.

The insurance company had her son's birthday listed as February 25, but she had been celebrating it on February 26. Curious and with her phone already in her hand, she figured she would just scroll Facebook to look at his birth announcement.

Sooo ... turns out the insurance company was right.

To make matters worse, the kid in question is Emily's middle child.

Vondy is aware she's not doing much to battle the stereotype the middle child gets ignored.

Giphy

Middle kids of TikTok totally felt for her son.

But Emily was far from alone on this.

Apparently this sort of thing happens often?

The honest confession encouraged others to share their run-ins with the dreaded "parent brain."

So parents out there, cut yourselves some slack.

We can't say we've all gotten a birthday wrong—but who among us hasn't accidentally called one kid by a pet's name, totally forgot what grade the kid is in, etc...?

Parenting is hard and these young people—especially these pandemic babies—are just built different.

We need naps.

We deserve them.

We hope Emily got one.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
