I dwell in Asgard

Mycroft tells him to stop, but Sherlock replies that he's being a hypocrite, because he's learned the word from him. Mycroft is confused, and Sherlock informs him that he once heard him saying the word back when he was four.

Sherlock may have deleted the solar system from his brain, but he has a perfect memory of the one instance when he heard eleven year old Mycroft saying fuck.

Sherlock: *develops a perfect memory in regards to his brother and copies literally everything*

Mycroft: Oh no HE'S FOLLOWING EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE STUFF I CAN'T I HAVE TO BE GOOD ALL THE TIME NOW

9 year old Mycroft scolds Sherlock for throwing a tantrum when the au pair girl tries to dress him.

It turns out that Sherlock saw Mycroft - who is usually polite to the au pair girl - being a drama queen about the clothes she had laid out for him on the previous morning (Mycroft : "I can’t possibly wear this sweater with these trousers!").

Once they leave her house, John goes on about how parents weren’t nearly so controlling back in the days when they were kids.

Sherlock asks what he means.

Sherlock being 23 before Mycroft lets him walk to the shop on the same side on the street as their flat alone thinking this girl is lucky 😂

John doesn't have the heart to tell Sherlock how not normal it is to not be allowed in cabs at age 20.

John realising that 1) Sherlock was and still is babied by Mycroft and 2) Mycroft is very right to do so is always my favourite trope with these three.

And yes, Sherlock is still babied by Mycroft in many ways -as John keeps discovering again and again - and a number of incidents suggest that he’s quite justified. XD

Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America! Remember that celebrating the ideals that this country was founded on is not the same as supporting the current tyrant in charge whose every action goes against the very words of the Declaration of Independence:

--"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”

This means that it’s 139.4 seconds per page, times 184 is 25649.6 seconds, and that rounds out to about 7.1 hours, or 7 hours 7 minutes.
