Chris McLaren: I often pick up phrases & make them part of my vernacular. Years ago I heard someone—I think Steven Brust—say "different squids for different kids" rather than "different stroke for different folks". I've been using it for decades. Tonight I got these texts from The Kid (age 19). #evilParenting

NGL, my favourite part of this is what the "one of those things" implies.

Given how much my kid loved squids this seems like an entirely plausible idiom.
