As long as you can’t disrespect your boss when you’re on your period, I don’t see why you should do that to the man you claim to love.
Stop using period cramps and pregnancy as an excuse to be ev!l and stup!d.
After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children.
They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal. What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don’t correct them harshly. Don’t rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment, quietly wrapped as love.
a peak childhood moment was when my dad would come back from work and see us watching cartoons and he'd join us and we'd be explaining the characters and their powers and their names to him and he'd just listen and watch with us, then my mom would also join, peak bonding moment.
and I plan to do same with my kids
*My birthday*
*Got seated at a table we reserved for 8 persons*
Waiter: "Goodnight this is the table for 8, correct?"
Me: "Yes but two won't be making it"
Waiter: "Well fuck them then, it's your night"
Me:
When I was a little kid, the school had me repeatedly tested to see where my IQ was but couldn't pin it down because I refused to complete the tests, so they just marked it as "at least 135" and put me into some sort of state controlled gifted program with additional monitoring.
The school then referred me to a specialist, and my parents would drive me very far to go see a special doctor. I liked it because the doctors would just watch me while I built Legos, and then we'd do some logic exercises that I enjoyed. There was always a counseling session attached to it as well where one doctor would ask questions and the other would take notes. I vividly remember being particularly interested in the fact that they had gold Legos, and the doctors wanted me to incorporate them into what I built- a task that I now recognize as testing to see how I handled off-nomimal instructions.
I always had fun because afterward, my dad would take me to Pizza Hut for the buffet, and the doctors would occasionally give me hot wheels cars.
Then, on the advice of these doctors, they took me to an experimental place where they hooked me up to machines to measure my brainwaves and try to "fix" my brain performance through a combination of lights, sounds, sensors, and shocks.
I had to go to this training where they would strap me into an (admittedly comfortable) chair for two hours with sensors all over my head, and I would get a mild shock every time I lost focus, and they would try to use sounds and abstract images projected onto a screen in front of me to try to help me "improve my brain activity". I would regularly complete tests and cognitive exercises as part of this.
I went there for about a year before it stopped. I asked why and all my parents said was that "it's a government program and the government doesn't want to pay for it anymore"
I don't really know how this all impacted me because I almost immediately buried all memory of it. I didn't regain memory of it until almost 15 years later, when I smelled an odor very similar to the office where I went. It caused me to have such a negative response that I was a wreck for months, and it seriously contributed to killing a four year relationship.
Now, I seem to remember it once per year around late October. I don't know why.
To this day, I still don't know who any of those people were, what their jobs were, or what the purpose was. My dad remembers taking me, but all he says is "they never really told me anything"
They want the same people who voted in the previous election to vote on the next one & are intentionally suppressing the numbers so that new voter numbers are much less. You may notice they are not even marketing this exercise as much!!!
YOU REALLY ARE A BUNCH OF DUMB FOOLS! YOU HAVE BEEN LYING TO KENYANS ABOUT WHERE VOTING REGISTRATION CENTERS ARE AND WORKING DAY & NIGHT TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION SO THAT PEOPLE DONT REGISTER
WITH THAT SAID, GITHINJI IS STILL A WANTAM PRESIDENT! SHENZIII
