My kid used to leave notes that always started with “Today you broke my hart”

My daughter is 3 and can’t write yet, but I think you’ve given me a glimpse of what to expect in a couple years.

....and, yes, I love this too....

Whenever I gave one of my kids a time out, once it was over, she would come out of her room all calm and collected, very sweetly hand me a note and say, “I have a letter for you, Mummy.”

That’s a travesty.

Threatening notes? Ye gods. Can you share the content?

Kind of related story. I was working at a nursing home and this lady was a feisty 105 years old. She absolutely would not eat anything except Hershey’s bars and a glass of cold milk. Someone wrote a letter to the company and they sent a dozen roses and a case of chocolates to her.

I don’t remember any letters, but my when my youngest was around 7, he had to have a particularly nasty tooth pulled. So he put it in a baggie and wrote on the baggie in red marker “The tooth from hell”. Of course when I came across it I about died laughing, and that baggie has been safely kept in my jewelry box for…

Omg your sibling is a genius. Did it work?! If so I can FINALLY quit my job and realize my true dreams: eating peanut butter cups all day!! And smoking pot, but just to keep my appetite up, ya know?

My daughter at 7 said, “Are you going to let him boss you around like that?” after her dad insisted we return the kitten we’d adopted without consulting him. We already had two cats. I had to explain to her that it was unfair of me to bring home an animal without talking it over with everyone, adopting a pet is a…

Did Reese’s ever write back? I sure hope so.

Indeed.

Just wanted to agree with you - I’m currently “on the grind” in the entertainment industry, and for a while felt so...stupid that I couldn’t make it work the way my acquaintances did. I then found out later that most of them came from wealthy families and had independent wealth, like parents who bought them houses or…

Me too! High five!

I’m angrier than 50% of the population, apparently.

You speak a lot of truth. One of the sad things I have observed is that my women friends in the US, who have very little paid maternity leave/national health care/nationalised day care etc, have as a group been more successful than my equally talented European friends (admittedly this is a Western European group,…

Agreed. Her comment sounds a lot like damage control. Like “ooops didn’t expect the backlash, oh yeah of course women should be paid as much as men”. That’s also not the first time she’s said something idiotic.

I don’t like mayonnaise

What *should* be on fire is all extant copies of that fucking episode, and also possibly Kurt Sutter and his entire production team.

I swear to god I’d believe you if you told me that Kurt Sutter raffled off the rights to write the script for the last ep, and the winner was a high school sophomore whose actual name is Brian but insists that everyone call him “Rye” because it’s like whiskey and who just discovered the whole concept of “metaphor”…
