Nah, that's a thing. Muslim people will call each other brother and sister and it is also used on other people of the Abrahamic faiths. Usually you don't use it as a Christian on Muslim people because it comes off as patronising. This guy seems like the well intended but definitely patronising type so he probably calls every Muslim person he knows brother or sister and thinks everyone loves it.

If the man is a victim of child abuse, I could see him being overwhelmed by that sort of genuine tenderness. I think "no one had ever done that sort of thing" isn't just about romantic partners.

Ok. I hosed up.

My brother-in-law saw one of those stupid videos where they destroy the video game console in front of the child to teach him a lesson. I heard him planning on doing that to my nephew because he failed 2 courses at school (he is 12). I tried talking them out of it, telling them that's not the way, sell it, hide it, whatever just don't do it.... that was my point.

I told my nephew, what they were going to do, and asked him not to overreact, just tell them you are disappointed, or something that makes them feel bad, if he brings his grades up, I will get him a new PS4, but I want his stupid parents to feel guilty.

Last week, my brother-in-law sat him a chair, have a couple of assholes friends holding him and proceed to destroy the ps4 with a baseball bat, while laughing and yelling and recording.

My nephew had a poker face, did not move at all, and whisper something and laughed. His dad stopped asked everybody to shut up and asked him, what? why are you laughing about?

My nephew said: You humiliated me, you took something that was mine, and humiliated me in front of everybody. You are bigger, stronger... but everybody is helpless when they are asleep. I am laughing because everybody is helpless when they are sleeping.... If you are done, I want to go inside, there something I need to think about.

He had an entire week to prepare what to say, and this is what he came up with, and his delivery was loving scary, I was speechless, everybody was shocked. I said out loud, good parenting everybody, good job, and went after my nephew.

I spoke with my nephew afterward, and he said that he will tell no one I had told him, and he has no plans on doing anything to his parents at all, he just wants to teach him a lesson as I suggested.

Now, my sister book an appointment with a psychologist, they are sleeping with locks on their doors and caused a family crisis.

And I feel like an rear end in a top hat because I just have to tell them what I did to patch things, but honestly, I just want to see where this is going.

Drawing the ‘E’s like that is something I feel that only a child would do.

O.K., that’s not quite true. It’s either a child’s writing or an adult psychopath’s.

What it is not is a ordinary adult faking a child’s writing.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:

I was gonna say the top E looks very much like an adult faking a kid's writing to me. An E like that, however poo poo, is just not how any kid I've seen conceives of it. Especially not one at the "what's lowercase" stage of learning. E, as any aspiring four-year-old writer will tell you, is ONE line then THREE more lines.

Remembering my own childhood, it was ONE line then THREE OR more lines.

MEAN WHAT YOU WEAR
Nipping out for milk I saw a
Yummy mummy gets out of 4x4 on her way to her second home.. the car was piled high with belongings, and luggage, daddy is following in the Jag, nothing wrong with that, Yummy sprog 1 and yummy sprog 2 also get out , clearly well nourished and cared for .................who am I kidding, dead spoilt.

Yummy mummy is in a bit of a dash and the sproglettes are skipping to keep up, we all get to the entrance together,
The sporglettes have their jackets open, both wearing...........Greta 'How dare you T shirts... and wait for it.....Yummy mummy does too.....

I couldn't resist.. as we got inside I said

'have you travelled far then?,.... with my friendly child catcher smile to reel her in....she beamed back with bleached teeth and possible filler lips , we've come from Cheshire .'

so I said , why didn't you catch the train?' , she looked really puzzled, she said too much stuff and these two are a bit of a handful, I smiled sweeter than Dana when she won Eurovision,

I said but what about your carbon footprint...I pointed to Greta's grizzling face on the T shirt, she looked down at her own torso, then she twigged....she stared, I stared, the sproglettes stared, So I said I don't think Great would be very impressed with this indulgence? The elder sproglette about 12, clearly going to be either a bra burner or a bunny boiler said . 'We have a genuine need to travel like this.' Her defiance flamed in her eyes.

I just said, 'oh don't get me wrong I think your travel arrangements are fine, they're much like my own, but I haven't invested in a hypocrite's T shirt.' Yummy mummy never said a word and gathered her brood and shuffled them down the Isle.

I'm sure as Yummy mummy moved her chest Greta's already disgruntled expression frowned even deeper

Thanks for the message slagging off my funny video of Extinction rebellion.
Gritty Glumberg ..as always names changed to protect the innocent.
Good to see middle class trendy parents like yourself getting among it with the How Dare you steal my childhood brigade.
Greta has managed to see 16 which hardly childhood, they were pushing them up chimneys at 9 years old, years ago ..now that is stealing a childhood.

I always have a scroll to weigh up those who message me and I'm pleased to see your trip to the luxury 5 star Banyan Tree Hotel in Phuket (post dated Feb 23 2019) was a rip roaring success..ah, daily towel change, 14 hour flight, all that aircraft fuel just for jollyday makers..so green of you.

We have a kindred passion I too am pleased with my diesel VW Toureg , it is great on fuel and very fast, did you take your activist daughter to London in it, or just dropped her at the station?

You're a well travelled family and your anxious angry 15 year old daughter does look a lot less stressed in the photo in the helicopter (March 2016) flying over the Grand Canyon, before you encouraged her down the looney tunes route to life .

I see from her page she is already planning her gap year before she's even got to Uni, very forward thinking.

Abseiling down a mountain in the Alps, did the use of nylon in the ropes not go against her conscience? and the 4WD that took her to the summit, no climb involved, just the Adrenalin rush of a tourist attraction for those with no balls for the climb.

I could go on , your page is like Trip Adviser I can't keep up, but the good thing is I feel much greener now I've read it, as the lack of me travelling across the globe on some hedonistic quest has probably saved a ton of aircraft fuel.

As you sit there in your downward dog position in your Yoga class , patting yourself on the back and rubbing shoulders with the luvies, As your wealthy husband in his highly paid job in the city takes the strain.... as you think a stressful day is fitting in pilates and lunch with a pal ......................

remember there's millions of working class people out there who's very finances make them a thousand times more green that you could ever be.
They catch the bus, they holiday in the UK, they stay in more, they don't have time to clog up London at demos because they're doing double shifts so little Jimmy can go on a school trip next year.
They have one car not two, they don't switch their heating on till they can see their own breath in the front room, they have one small fridge not a double front one and a chiller drawer for 30 bottles of Evian, they drink from the tap!
Take your patronising, condescending green hogwash thinking and stick it where the sun don't shine.

I was not aware until now that yummy mummy hadn't made it into American slang. Probably because it doesn't rhyme there.
