When I was a kid, my older brother really wanted to pierce his ear. Dad kept telling him no because he'd look like a queer. Funny thing, I was young enough that I didn't understand that word as slur, but in context I guess I kinda understood its original meaning.. so when dad held mom's diamond clip-on earrings up to his ears and openly mocked my brother at the dinner table by asking how he looked, I really was not expecting him to slap the everloving poo poo out of me for proudly exclaiming that he looked queer.  Ironically, out of three kids, my brother is the only one that isn't queer. And the only one that's maintained any semblance of contact with dad over the last 15 years.

When I was in Kindergarten there was a boy there that taught me saying gently caress off is what you say when you don't want to do something. That afternoon I was watching cartoons when my mum came in and asked me to go put my school bag away in my room, I just said gently caress off, she then asked me what did I say and I said gently caress off. Next thing I know I got smacked so hard i went rolling across the lounge room sat up in tears sobbing uncontrollably asking why she hit me. She then explained to me what it meant and why I was never allowed to say that also asked who told me about it and needless to say she was never a fan of that boy after that and he certainly didn't get birthday invites haha.

Man, that's one hell of an overreaction for a kid saying something it clearly doesn't understand the meaning of. Big WTF to your mum there, ought to be ashamed.

My mum was hard on us we got smacked I don't begrudge her for that. She was the smack first ask questions later type, never unless it was needed. I grew up fine, don't have any underlying issues and I have a great relationship with her. She never held onto it after we got our smack it was done. As I grew up I much preferred it to dad who gave us the silent treatment instead I hated that so much more.

Different times I suppose. I've never smacked my son who's 8 now, I might raise my voice or sit him down and talk to him about the problem. Everyone parents differently.

Family history and stuff. When people say "my mom smacked me and I grew up fine" it always just makes me think that it's great for them that they got through that kind of thing without feeling like they took any permanent damage from it, but a lot of people don't. Yeah I understand your viewpoint don't get me wrong, I just didn't want to derail the thread, that's why I left it at different times I suppose. Those were the days when teachers were allowed to use rulers on students and kids got their hands smacked for writing left handed. I don't condone it but for the lack of something better to say that's just the way it was and no one batted an eye about it.

My nephew has been feeling bad because it's been raining a lot and he wants to play on his new playground set. His solution? "We can build tunnels from the house to get to the playground so we won't get wet." "How will we stop from getting wet on the playground then?" "Build a new house on top of the playground."

Cardiovorax posted:Roof the playground, stay dry while you're playing. Seems legit. This is actually a thing. My wife and I took an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon. One of the stops was in Ketchikan, which is the wettest city in North America. It rains something like 270 days a year. Anyway, we took a bus tour of the city and saw an elementary school up on stilts with the playground underneath so the kids can actually run around outside. edit: Not Ketchikan, and not under a school, but this is a covered playground in Alaska. Sorry about the link because I suck and can't post pics for some reason. https://images.app.goo.gl/XwZ8kM233BKqtSiS8 BigBallChunkyTime has a new favorite as of 15:15 on Apr 22, 2020 |

"Aunt Hopes! How you get your nails done?!?" My sister drove by and I said hello from the sidewalk. I painted them myself, but my sister usually has them done. Even the 5 year old knows the nail salons are closed!

I always thought the same as a kid, too, but I was grateful because I have always disliked cake. At birthday parties, I would swap my cake for other kids' unwanted frosting (no, I do not appear to have developed diabetes yet)

Video chatting with one of my students today. We were reading a book together that had like super corny jokes in it, like where it shows you the setup and then you have to turn the book upside down to read the answer.  Oh, oh, Mrs. Bravo, can I tell you a joke I made up? : Sure ! Let's hear it What did... one sun say to the other sun? : Hmmm, uhhhh, I don't know! What did it say? You.... uh.... (prolonged pause) I forget how it goes. : Haha ok no problem, let me know if you remember it Oh oh I remember it now. What did one sun say to the other sun?You..... look.... exhausted.... Sorry, it's not that good. He followed up with a second non-joke, and then a third joke that actually had a punchline and was thus my least favorite of the bunch but was still pretty good

My three-year-old niece today refused to consider the big trampoline her dad wants to buy. When asked why she didn't want it she explained she was concerned it would bounce her to the moon. After some interrogation she sighed, "I just don't want to go up there, okay?" Okay.
