My parents liked "going for a drive". Not to anywhere, just driving around. We'd have to stop whatever we were doing just to sit in the car for an hour and end up back home. I still don't understand why anyone would want to do that - especially with four kids.

We need a thread for these stories where we explore them with the dark cynicism of our adult selves.

My parents used to take me and my 12 siblings to an old well like 4 hours down the road and we would play hide and seek in the woods and have a picnic. At the end of the day they would toss some big bundle of something in there and then me and my 11 siblings would pile in the van and go home. We would usually get ice cream on the way home. Then we would do it all again the next year. Really nice memories being an only child in high school.
So were you the best or the worst at hide and seek?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

This guy get it. Slap in a kids music cd and look at the scenery for a hour. One parent gets to be a passanger for an hour and to enjoy the sweet embrace of not having to do anything during the drive.

The picture is from the article. The article is about the blackest black. Trudeau has been in trouble for wearing blackface. The joke is that Jack Trudeau will use this, the blackest black, to perform the blackest black face. The picture is not required for the joke, it is merely part of the article which was the setup and can be ignored. Its presence is retroactively fully justified by the absolute hilarity of watching Milo and POTUS going full cow tools.

So the joke is that someone invented the blackest black and the tweet implied that Justin Trudeau would use it for the purposes of blackface.
