I am informed this was just discussed on LBC. Presumably without significant adherence to logic and scientific rigour, so I'm sharing it again.

This past Saturday, I ran a DnD session for my two daughters,and some of their friends. We had fun, but two things worth noting happened during the game.
The innkeep, who they had not earned the trust of yet, refused to serve them normal food, and instead over-charged them for slop. literal slop, they made jokes about how gross it must be, and that it was moving around in the bowl on its own.
The other thing was my oldest daughter, playing a bard, learned the benefits of Viscious Mockery, and that she basically gets to insult her target and do damage.
That night after things were wrapped up, i heard her playing a game or somethig with the friends who remained, and she shouts "Viscuoius Mockery!" at them. I chuckled.
Today, they're looking for something to eat for lunch (theyre both cyber-schooled) and found a bowl of something in the fridge, and theyre joking that its the same slop they were served in the game.
I find this really funny, and sort of heart warming, that they had enough fun in the game I ran for them, that theyre still making references to it.
Guys, this is what its all about.

"Students called and texted her with their grief, their panic attacks, their drug use, their suicidal thoughts. What their own parents could not fully understand — the worst moment of their lives — Ms. Schamis could."
