We didn’t respect them any less but it did make us feel respected in our own teenage right.

Fortunately, NASA seems to have reached out, so he found some? Silver linings?

Right? I had a friend like this growing up, who would make things and build things, and dick around with wires all the time. When you asked him “hey, why would you build (insert odd thing of his choice, nothing ever as commonplace as a clock)?,” his reaction would always be “because I thought it looked…

That would make sense, especially since school started recently (I’m guessing, based off of my cousin who lives nearby).

I read in another article that he’s also a member of the robotics club at school... like shouldn’t all of his teachers know that he’s pretty into building cool things.

Right? I thought it was standard procedure to call the bomb squad on anything suspicious and then isolate or evacuate the area. Not that a clock is suspicious, but still. When I was in school a bomb threat = evacuate or lock down building (which also caused a lot of false bomb threats on nice spring days... keep it…

It’s supposed to be a marsh in the book. No, I don’t think it made a ton of sense. Yes it is supposed to be Lake Michigan too. Not sure on the how or why.

Exactly! When I got my marriage license, all the clerk did was look at our documentation to make sure we could legally be married, sign something, and then ask if we wanted our picture taken. That last part is just because the clerks really liked the marriage license part of their job because it was happy. They didn’t…

Not to mention, comes in a lot of varieties in the Bible. Polygamy is pretty well established as a-ok on multiple occasions, but I don’t see her arguing for that.

The other one I hate is shows ignoring weather. I remember watching an episode of Glee set in the winter and everyone was sitting outside wearing light coats. Come on! Ohio is gross in the winter, no one is hanging out outside without more layers. It’s not even a filming location issue, it’s a writing issue. Details!

I always find shows filmed in California but set in the midwest to be really distracting. The plants are always wrong and the occasional mountain peeping through just kills me. Parks and Rec, as much as I love that show, always took a bit of actual mental prep to suspend my disbelief because I am so used to what…

This is what my husband and I did while dating too, after we were in a comfortable enough place to be pretty open about finances. When we just started dating though we each paid for our own things or split it.

Yup, most of the schools up here in Minnesota haven’t started yet.

I had a period of time when I got mistaken as older, around 13 or 14, but now, in my late 20s, I’m always mistaken for much younger. I think I hit about 16 and haven’t changed much since (except I’m fatter and don’t have bad acne or braces).

My aunt got taken to the principle’s office when she was a first year teacher for being in the hallway between classes (she had hall monitoring duty). The teacher who took her hadn’t met her yet and the principle cracked up. My dad grew a beard for the same reason and my mom wore suits to class because no student wore…

I never met anyone by that name, but that means very little at a school of 20,000.

Holy crap, I was just about to add “man, I heard about something like that when I was in college...” in Muncie...

Man, I clearly am doing something wrong, because unexpected blood on my face is not a concern.

I have got to do what you know everyday that means you have to check on blood on your clothes or face. Are you a vampire slayer? 00 agent? Medical professional?

Or fix contacts, my usual bathroom mirror thing.
