Totoro is a big fluffy forest spirit—a sort of friendly guardian. He’s from the movie My Neighbor Totoro, which is a sweet, sentimental Japanese animated movie. I recommend it =)
That way works, too. I bet it’ll become standardized across the internet within a few years. It’s interesting to watch English change (devolve). It’s funny to tell my parents (who are boomers) new slang (clean); their reactions range from flabbergasted to disbelief to indignant, lol
Having experienced my shins being scraped by cones of shame, I was going to suggest the new soft ones they make (sort of like canvas, & secured with velcro), but the donut style is even better =)
My dad likes to add silly things to the shopping list. Or the list of leftovers to be eaten (little whiteboard on the fridge). For example, the legitimate item raspberries recently spawned mohnberries, whistleberries, thugberries, etc.
I’m a big fan of Bombas socks. High quality, and they fit my little “hobbit” feet right (as opposed to normal socks for adults, which were always too big, but kids’ socks are cheap and don’t last, since they’re growing fast anyway)
I’m thinking Phoebe is… 4 here? Maybe 5?
