Sometimes, I write these articles sitting at the table with my kids while they work on school stuff. The 'communal office' feel of the dining table has its ups and downs, but today was definitely an up.

My teenager, peeking over my shoulder as I filled in the title, quipped:

"My nonbinary a$ would LOVE to know what it's like to sit in a chair normally - but all I got is goblin mode."

Reddit user Lemonkainen asked:

"What is a simple pleasure that the opposite sex rarely/never gets to experience?"

My kid may be doomed to spend eternity sitting in chairs like they think the floor is lava, but they're not the only one missing out on things the rest of us take for granted.

Here's what Reddit came up with.

"Peeing standing up in a bush."- hairyscrotes

I'll gobble up pretty much anything.

But I do have my limits.

We go to the movies to escape reality.
