I like Bigelow’s Lemon Lift, seriously addicted, or Twinning’s Lady Grey. But thank you Sir Patrick for being a tea man...

Hugs!

That’s right...duh.

Ditto on both sides of the familly. Catholic guilt runs deep man.

My Mom said that but it was just becuase she’d had some of the first AIDS patients...as we grew up it became more about Safer Sex and protection. :) Luckily, but sometimes I do get the judgey vibe once in a while. sigh...

Of more likely thinks it’s funny because it gives him attention from adults.

If you see him acting inappropriately you should just to see how he reacts...I’m not his parent but as a teacher and member of the world I give you permission. It takes a village, etc... :)

If this is the right show, and the clip I saw on some commercial for it, I remember there going to be a car crash and one of the daughters saying “I don’t have a seat belt on”. Moron. I’m sorry someone died but am surprised no one else did, or got hurt worse, physics isn’t ruled by money people.

Love that book!

I got poked in the back with a pencil all day in 5th grade and came home crying about it. Mom gave me permission to defending myself but I don’t think I did since i didn’t want to get in trouble at school. Now I wished I’d landed that girl a good punch in the face. Shame for time travel not being a thing...but I don’t…

I have a friend named Sybil, not a therapist sadly, and she is awesome!!! I secretly love it since she’s a badass.

Argh! I remember as a kid we were on vacation and some boys were saying I had cute legs, which I did but also made me nervous (I was maybe 6ish) although they were my age, and my mom just said ‘you do!”. sigh...

Paperbag Princess is a good book I liked as a kid. :)

It’s becuase they are getting attention even if it’s the wrong kind. Poor kids, they’re starved for it.

Six or eight, hell no. Have you, or anyone else, looked the kid straight in the face (at his level) and told him it’s not ok to talk to other people that way? And if you’re a guy if you see him again you can have a ‘guy chat’ about how to treat other people. He’s also most likely heard his dad talk this way...ugh.

How old is he? (not that it should ever be allowed, but still)

That is an excellent book! My parents read it to my brother and me about that age and then got us the ‘what’s happening to me; around puberty...fabulous books! :) I think even though we had sex ed in 5th, 7th, and high school, and good education as well, I hope they are now discussing consent as well.

Thanks for the thought, it’s a great idea! I’ll take a peek, and if I don’t see anyone there I’ll look on Fet.

I’m so glad everyone is ok.

Where was his family?
