Whatever you do, make sure you know how to pronounce shibboleth properly. Some people take pronunciation really serious and it could save your life.

This is a real thought-provoker in the midst of a seemingly mundane day of getting a baby to nurse, nap, etc. Such tasks appear to be meaningless but might just be the most real of all. Does real supernatural value “hide” behind ordinary life, or is ordinary life itself supernaturally meaningful/are they intertwined? Also, how does one know when one is being/has become real? Do you have to play at motherhood for a while before becoming a real mother? Is there something more to the essence of “mother” besides being the home for conception? Are mother accounts on Instagram really giving you a peek into the “day in the life”? Are reality reels inherently fake because they are posted on social media?

Anyway, I appreciate how these 59 probes help me to think about my everyday life. Thanks, Justin!

You're only a real mom if you're on Insta giving the old day-in-the-life.

Also, have you seen August Rush around? I hear he's a real dude.
