      She didn’t communicate her needs well enough.

      Honestly, the Bee plates showing up is more her fault than his.

        Didn’t communicate her needs? What more communication do you need beyond “get fancy dinner plates”? How do you fuck that up? If you’re unsure, communicate your need for further information, or google fancy dinner plates.

          These are fancy. and they’re dinner plates.

          They may not be “formal”, but they’re definitely fancy.

    Are you kidding me?! There isn’t a single person I know who wouldn’t at least appreciate those plates enough to chuckle! Those are awesome plates, I’d use those plates even for formal events, the only people who’d be upset by them are stuck-up assholes!

      and teenagers insisting they’re no longer kids. (same fight as “kids table” stuff. To be honest, when I became an adult, the kids table was always more fun anyhow. Dinosaurs are way more interesting topics of conversation than adult-stuff.)

        100% same. I’m the built-in babysitter for family events. Why would I want to hear my aunt ask for the 500th time why I’m not married, when my nephews and nieces are playing out a story where Bluey and Sonic the Hedgehog team up to fight crime? Screw boring grown-up talk, I want the imaginative adventure.

          I 100% believe the moment we try to pretend we aren’t children anymore is the moment we deny a huge chunk of what makes us human.

          Not to mention a HUGE mistake logistically speaking, because it also means that we wouldn’t be working with the actual data. We don’t lose who we’ve been, it constantly gets incorporated into who we’re becoming. Those kids we used to be are still there, alive and well (and probably sobbing in a corner for a friggin’ crumb of honest, carefree enjoyment of, like, anything!) and all we do is to try to bury them deeper and deeper, until we can’t hear those sobs anymore. But those sobs just get worse, until they… stop. After a loong, long time, they stop - killed where nobody else could hear it.

          And if all of that sounds insane, it’s because it is. That’s my point.

            Not drag’s inner child. Drag’s inner child is so wild and free that other adults have to pick up the slack of repressing drag. It doesn’t work. No matter how many times they say dragons don’t exist, drag still gets to go home and play with a dragon.

        Drag recently had a family gathering and spent a lot of time debating biblical theology with drag’s adult relatives. Drag’s baby cousin assured us that we’re all extremely boring.

        All drag can say in response to that is that the Torah says Elohim can take away a promise if it’s used as an excuse to sin, so Israel has no right to exist.
