I've been to many awesome concerts over the years including several when I worked catering at Sun Devil Stadium (U2, Springsteen, AC/DC, Stones) while going to college but the most incredible moment I can think of was Paul McCartney coming out to all the screams from the audience and saying "Shhhh" into the microphone and an entire stadium got quiet enough to hear a pin drop in seconds.
Not really.. However you can get the nylon basketball type shorts that while long are still lightweight. Another option is to take any jeans that are too short or holes in the knees and cut them off and sew in a hem to keep them looking neat.

All that came from it was a little light-hearted teasing, but no major drama. I think most kids of any age understand sentimentality.
If he wants to take it let him, same if he doesn't. Most likely your DS will know how his friends will react better then you will no matter how well you know him.
Big diffrence between you college age son keeping a toy from his childhood in his dorm room and and 9 year old that has it cuddled next to him when he sleeps. Little kids are still trying to "stop being such babies" and things like a stuffed animal may be met with teasing.
However OP your son will be the best judge of whether or not he will be "safe" bringing it. I assume he has been to the other kids house before, been in his room. If the other kid still has a stuffed animal on his bed then it's probably safe

Many Waters isn't really connected to the original trilogy. I think they're being boxed together as more of a marketing tactic.
It was my understanding that Many Waters was time/dimensional travel with the twins. Going back to the Great Flood
I loved the first three (haven't read the 4th) and I saw that there is now a 5th

We coaches have a hard enough time teaching the kids how to play the game and dealing with the few that are disruptive , we don't need parents to be disruptive too.
Nailed it TSFG.
I disagree. I coach in the 'minors' (9-10 yos) and have had numerous practices where there were too few coach/assistants to players. Not every parent is able to get out and assist with coaching for a lot of reasons. At the practices I don't have as much assistance as I'd like, the boys may start messing around, especially when they're in the dugout. I have no problem with a parent appropriately telling them to settle down/pay attention/keep their hands to themselves/etc. If a parent is inappropriate, I will address it with that parent. These boys are a lot of fun but do require re-direction at times and I can't be on top of them all the time. I'd much rather have a parent step up and re-direct the boys than to have them or their kids complaining about how I'm not coaching. If one kid in particular is problematic, I'll take it up his parent.
The difference is you have kids in the dugout and while I'm not saying out of sight out of mind, there is a difference between the kids screwing around in the dugout and not learning something at that moment and trying to teach a running play where the entire team is on the field. Think more like when you have the entire team in the field and they are working on shagging ground balls.
If it's your kid screwing around then talk to your kid AFTER practice. If you are close enough to the parents then talk to the parents AFTER practice. If enough kids are paying attention then there will be less of a problem.

Driving a stick is unfortunately becoming a lost art. But one everyone should know.
However that cell phone thing isn't exactly guaranteed. One you make it through the gears and are cruising at speed that hand becomes free again.

She said this was at the doctor's recommendation.
No the doctor more than likely talked about making better food choices and now she has gone overboard.
I have 8 year old twin (fraternal) boys. One is 4'10" and weighs 105 (granted he had to take 10 weeks off recently because of a broken elbow) and his brother is 4'7" weighing in at 85. The bigger son usually has his growth spurt over the summer to the point that people that don't see him over the summer always comment how much leaner he looks then when they last saw him in the spring.
Sorry to tell you ladies, but S&P and even fully grey can be visually intoxicating.
What concerns me is the defecation without any warning at all, OP didn't describe any cramping which usually precedes diarrhea like this.
BMI is far less accurate than getting a proper body fat % done
Maybe since it was out of the norm, OP's husband was in a bit of shock.. or even better lost in lust when he responded
