Tickle two birds with one pinky

A wholesome, affectionate, or surreal variation of the idiom "to kill two birds with one stone." It means to accomplish two tasks or resolve two situations simultaneously, but with a gentle, lighthearted, or playful approach rather than a cold, efficient, or aggressive one.
Often used in family dynamics to suggest a win-win logistical solution without making the tasks feel like a chore.
“Hey, instead of making two separate flights next month, why don't you visit your mom and me during the same week? You can tickle two birds with one pinky.”
