And this is something he drew when he was 9, just to show how a few years makes a big difference — even for someone like my son, who was diagnosed with “fine motor delay” issues because he didn’t hold his pencil the right way and had trouble learning how to tie his shoes.

“he crashed and burned”

My brother’s MRSA was from an infected hair shaft. I got to watch them lance that abscess and it was glorious. I got way too close to my brother’s hip/groin area that day (though everything was covered, THANK GAWD) but it was so much fun to watch.

I adore the fact that in 2nd grade you knew to throw Picasso under the bus.

They disappear into the same parallel universe that socks teleport to in the dryer. This is known.

My cat steals them and buries them in the kitty litter. I don't know why.

For me, it’s usually more of this:

Sorry for bad quality... and yeah, woman is saying “silly boy”, not “naughty boy”

I HATE teachers like that. Cindymoo had one like that in high school. She likes to work with ballpoint pen as her medium, and when she was finished with her piece (it was gorgeous) the teacher took sharpie marker and drew over her lines with it.

It was a Catholic school. Logic does not apply.

I feel like it’s a shame that in second grade, you were actually getting graded in terms of F vs. B. I think I got mostly check plus or check minus that young :-(

Nope, she didn’t draw it.

holy shit.

No joke. I am considering moving out of my house today as one of my housemates just said, “Good! I saw those videos of PP selling baby brains and they deserve to be brought down.”

There very well be mental illness at play here. But mental illness doesn’t equal violence. Plus, as Obama noted a few years ago, the US doesn’t have a monopoly on mental illness. We sadly aren’t even the only country with widespread white male privilege and national political figures who spew out hateful rhetoric that…
