Don't Mess with Mama
You better watch out when a mama is feeling defensive. That's right, their little offspring are precious, and she won't hesitate to defend them. If you cross her territory, prepare for a powerful battle. This isn't the time to be brave. Better stay away while you still can.
- Don't freak out.
- Let her be.
- Hush up.
Taming Dragons Doesn't Come With A Manual
Let's be real, raising a dragon isn't like training your ordinary house pet. There are no veterinarians who completely grasp the intricacies of their peculiar biology, and forget about finding a instruction sheet that details everything from emitting hot breath to dragon diplomacy. You're on your own, adventurer, and the only guide is trial and mistake.

Adore My Kids A Lot But Also... Wine
Being a parent is seriously amazing, but sometimes you just need a bit of vino. Let's be honest, those tiny humans are precious, and they completely drain your sanity. After a long day of playing, a glass of sparkling can be just the ticket you need to unwind. It's not about being a bad parent, it's about self-care!
