OH DEAR. Ok, Look, EDIT THAT SHIT NOW.

NOW NOW NOW.

????

KILL IT WITH FIRE.

?????!

PBEM... EBG just gave CC a cover name.....and it's a name that starts with a B

giggle Shady had issues last night.

THAT B?

I so did.

pure dumb luck?

Yup. I only gave the initial

So I can't even be mad but it's like "I cannot get away from that..."

Well he didn't want to use the damn Bambi cover name!

Wowwww.

*HIDES*

*CRAWLS UNDER THE COUCH*

Not your fault Hugs Just the odds. And it's a perfectly nice name with thousands of nice folks named that. Just 'what are the odds'// Seriously, Shady, buy a lottery ticket soon!

BRB

I'm going with Beverly, Gates McFadden never offended me 😉

....

you KNOW my inner Z is clawing to be let out

I am being good.

You should be in the loop

And sorry, Cat, I thought I had shared what Coradel quested for.

Ok, disaster dealt with.

What now?

Thing1 called Thing2 some things he should not have and we had to have a discussion.

They were words for homosexuals and African-Americans. *sigh* Used amongst classmates. So we had a talk about language meanings and why what he did was not ok. Which is one of those things when you have kids.

Uhf.

Oh dear.

that sucks

Yeah.

Yeah. Kids have no grasp of context

Well, not NO grasp, but you get me

Honestly? Thing1 is 12, he's experimenting with language and peer-language and... I didn't yell or anything, we talked about meanings and definitions and histories and I tried to make it a teachable moment.

Then he had to clean the cat box.

So I'm hoping a connection will be made, there.

Yeah

Too much SHOCK, then kiddo might decide it is fun

He -seemed- genuinely contrite. Hearing that he'd made himself like the Nazis, Klan, and current administration made him look ill.

Yeah

And I am trying not to just go "shithole Florida" because FL has a rep for swampy Fox news types

Florida is a bit bonkers. Has some wonderful things and places and nice people, but I'm very grateful for it as it makes Tennessee look a bit saner by comparision

Yup

Thing may have heard it from peers, but suspect peers head it from parents

Y’know...per Shady’s situation, I’m reminded of when my father asked 12 year old me how I’d spent my day out with friends, and I said, “Oh, mostly we were just jacking off.”

Because that’s what my friends used for “hanging out”...and I had no clue.

It was a dramatic dinner table moment.
