How in the world did I not know about Tiny Desk Concerts by NPR Music? Once I brought it up to my friend Amber, she also suggested the Australian "Like a Version" (link in comments) - which then took me down another rabbit hole! Tiny: youtube.com/channel/UC4eYXhJ…
Somehow, my 12 y/o claims that she has never had brain freeze (and that girl LOVES her ICEEs / Slushies / Slush Puppies!) Here is a little science behind the thing that, as I get older, is getting more and more debilitating when I experience it. amp.gs/qLiq
Onions make you cry because the chemical reaction that happens when they are damage is an irritant, so it is a built-in natural defense mechanism. Too bad we as humans have come to like the flavor! amp.gs/qvmf #LLWKids
Thanks @wowintheworld

Halley’s Comet appears every 75 years- next will be 2061 (when your 10yo is 52!) This week the Orionid meteor shower lights up particles Halley left behind in 1986. Kind of like bedazzled scrunchies being flung across the sky. Check out this #WowInTheSky ! forbes.com/sites/jamiecarter…
Judy Garland's diet on Wizard of Oz was: "Eat nothing but chicken soup, black coffee, and smoke 80 cigarettes a day." which makes my low-carb thing not seem so bad. bit.ly/31sOfpJ #LLW
My 8 y/o and I learned about the importance of recess and how Findland does recess right via the @wowintheworld podcast episode Back-To-School: Recess 101 amp.gs/qjhU #LLW #LLWKids
The Village People did not originally create the gestures/dance that we all know for YMCA - dancers on American Bandstand started that and then the group latched on and used them. amp.gs/A6bE #LLW
The girls and I learned about how corn is technically a grass / grain, not a vegetable. #LLW #LLWKids #LLWScience amp.gs/AQnX
I became a hero at work when I created a little workflow with that, when the non-line-of-sight restroom is occupied, a light in the main office clicks on. So no more rushing to a closed bathroom! #LLW #Elgato #EveHomeKit

Youth soccer - daughter learned it is okay to kick the ball out of bounds in certain situations. When learning a new sport, sometimes the 'next-level' of understanding strategy & tactics if kinda fun. #LLW #LLWSports
