I am so addled and distracted that I don’t keep a journal... I have my godmother do it! Every time I think of something funny the kids say, usually very soon after it happens, I text her the quotation and some loose context. Because we only see each other once a year, it gives her a way of keeping up with my kids (bonus for her) and me, a way of getting a concrete record of what they say. She’s typing it all out into a Google doc, of which I’ve never seen before... but eagerly look forward to pouring over someday soon.

Lovely! Great advice.
