The Mister: Did you eat lunch? (I am 44 years old and presumably do not need to be asked this question, but I also have ADHD, so. Valid.)
Me: You know, you ask these complicated questions that have no easy answers. What is the concept of "lunch" anyway? How do we define it? For instance, could a banana and half a chocolate chip cookie be considered lunch?
The Mister: No.
Me: According to who? By whose authority is it decided what does or does not constitute lunch? I mean, if we broadly define the term as "food that is eaten on or around the time of noon" then yes, I've eaten lunch. I had a banana and half a chocolate chip cookie."
The Mister: You've been reading Terry Prachett again, haven't you?

My husband sent this to me because, he says, it reminds him of me. I was lecturing on Korean history at the time, if that provides context.

Sunday. She slept in the carrier while I was on the pottery wheel.

The constant reminder of everything lost
Decades and decades ago, there was one photo frame hung high up on the cream wall, surrounded by souls, breathing and laughing and crying and just living their daily lives. As I grew up, year after year, the photo frames began taking up more space in the house than the living, breathing souls.
I visited my mum a couple of months ago, and I was surprised to see the photo frames of my grandparents and my father and my uncle haphazardly stored in a closed shelf. Dumbfounded, I couldn’t quite make sense of the bare walls anymore.
Months later, it finally hits me. My mum has been living in a house that is largely filled with the memories and never-spoken words of the dead. And who am I to stop her from packing them up - them and their constant gazes and smiling faces that were captured in those frames without knowing that this is how everyone would remember them in the future.
Who am I to stop her from packing them up, them and their constant gazes, so she can at least try to live a life without the constant reminder of everything lost.

Yesterday. The lighting in my place was soft and diffused so I took some quick selfies and headed out to photograph the city.

Danny is a house husband.
That's it, that's all it is.
As the years went on. Danny retired from being a superhero. There was no need for Phantom when the GIW were dealt with and all the ghosts were under control.
Now what's left for him to do but to just sit back, relax, and finally be able to live his life.
Sam and Tucker on the other hand....
Well, they had plenty of pent up rage, wits, and chaos inside their mind to become villains.
But they had one rule.
Never bring work home and to never involve Danny in any of their supervillain business.
Okay that's technically two rules, but they're kind of synonymous especially since Danny has been taking care of their house while also entertaining himself with trying new hobbies.
Tucker and Sam both make sure that they never bring any of their villainy home to Danny, because all they want is for Danny to enjoy his happy hero retirement.
And Danny in turn, doesn't bat an eye when watching the news and seeing that there were magical plants that were attacking sites that oil companies were digging or that somehow Lex Luthor had lost five hundred million dollars and had somehow leaked records showing he was building weapons of mass destruction.
He also doesn't bat an eye when he sees that Tucker had brought home a telescope that definitely looks like it came from some fancy lab because hey, Tucker was making him an observatory so he can look at the stars and planets. While also how they were able to make a great gaming pc with computer parts that are definitely not sold in stores, because hey at least the newest update of Doomed wasn't lagging.
Or that Sam comes home with various plants and animals that are definitely not from planet earth, but hey the three headed wolf-lizard-eagle- hybrid thing (that Danny has affectionately named Fluffy) is pretty great at keeping the pests away from his vegetable garden and likes to eat any of Danny's new food creations and is a great playmate for Cujo.
So you can imagine how the Justice League thinks when dealing with the pair of new villains: Upload (Tucker) and Sam (I could not think of a villain name that would suit her, so it's up to you what you think her villain name would be)
And how they were currently wreaking havoc in the city either by cyber warfare with robots or by magic plant monster or a Frankenstein of both approaches. The heroes had all evacuated the civilians from the battle zone and are currently fighting a losing battle. When they've been effectively captured and restrained by the two. Right before the villains could go into a monologue, they hear a person clearing their throat.
Everybody looks to see a 25 year old man wearing a sweater vest (he made it himself, thank you very much) currently holding onto the leash of a giant glowing green dog and some kind of giant animal hybrid. The man's arms were crossed and was currently not sporting a very happy look on his face.
Tucker and Sam (looking at Danny with hesitant smiles): Hi honey.
Danny (frowning): you missed our anniversary dinner.
Tucker and Sam both pale as they quickly realized what the date and time was.
The league all watch as Sam and Tucker immediately start apologizing to the man that just walked into a battle zone.
Danny (still frowning): Hmph! I guess since you two didn't want dinner you can go back to your little fight. Don't expect me to make you any lunches for the next month, and since you two are having so much fun here, you'll be sleeping by yourselves for the next couple weeks.
The league all watch as they were let go as Sam and Tucker yell as they run after Danny yelling apologies as he was walking away from them.
This is not the last they see of Danny.
When Danny is displeased with either of his partners, he'll invite a hero over to have lunch of afternoon tea.
