July 2023 ⁂ A fount of funny phrases
I’m Chad Comello and this is Chadabout, a monthly update about what I've been writing, reading, and doing.

Hey all,
My 4 year old is a fount of funny phrases, often unintentionally so. A gem from today was "Whiffle McGigster". I can't even remember the context of it now, but I wrote it down immediately because how could you not? Let's all be more like Whiffle McGigster, whatever or whoever that is.
On to the links...

1. My recent posts:
I don't know, I need to learn - Accidental wisdom from my 4 year old.
Bye bye, butterflies - On watching the butterfly lifecycle from home.

2. From the interwebs: I am proud to be Team Oxford Comma. How NASA writes space-proof code. The 6 types of movie pool partygoers.
3. Quote: “Everything that can be said against the inconvenience of books can be said about the inconvenience of children. They too take up space, are of no immediate practical use, are of interest to only a few people, and present all kinds of problems. They too must be warehoused efficiently, and brought with as little resistance as possible into the Digital Age.” — Anthony Esolen, 10 Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child
