Glad to be back with another Friday! I based this grid on a puzzle by themeless maven Aimee Lucido because I loved the flow as a solver. For the fill, I'm happy I was able to highlight the amazing 35A. A couple of my favorite clues that didn't make the cut:

  • 17A: Dependents that you can't claim for tax purrr-poses
  • 36A: Stumbled-upon store

Thanks for solving!

The entire middle stack was the seed for this puzzle. I like to think of it as a poem for all you other parents of young children out there. Relatedly, I'm happy to premiere this non-port cluing angle for 36A!

And last, as a developmental psychologist, I'm glad that my debut puzzle in the Times includes 18D. Thanks to Brooke Husic for test solving, and to many, many others in the crossworld who've helped me out.
