I can definitely imagine Jadis having a rock opera rampage destroying London. (Yes, I have read the book, but if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.)

Accidentally introduced a coworker to the Berenstain Bears today.
Said in a meeting that sometimes I feel like Actual Factual Bear, which then devolved into several minutes of explanations.
May have given her a new book to try on her 5-year-old.
