A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and
can we please just get a straightforward penis emoji already?? Half the human population has a penis attached to their bodies anyway, why are we still so prude about incorporating actual penises into mainstream vernacular & daily life?

As a child of divorced parents I am impressed with the seemingly mature working relationship you and your ex husband have maintained.

Ah! that may appear to be the case from this little anecdote I just shared, but believe me there is a lot of drama, for example the stepmom told me next time she'll let me visit them is June 2025 for my daughter's high school graduation🤦‍♀️ There's SOOOO much drama and that woman is extremely controlling, she puts on a pleasant facade but she is a domineering, authoritative, control freak, and we all just let it slide because nobody wants any drama. She's the one that creates all the drama. So we simply let her do that because we are not interested in drama.

Sorry to hear. There will probably be a boundary that she crosses, and I'm hoping y'all can deliver some nasty consequences when that happens so she leaves y'all alone.

Nope. She's the impervious alpha and that's fine.
