After 33 years smoking weed: it makes you dumber, less confident, wrecks sleep, and was the hardest drug Iโve ever quit. in nature is good. Thatโs all.
I work part time at a science museum in the cafe, and this particular museum is directed towards kids and families so we get tons of younger kiddos coming into the cafe every day. But one of my favorite things to do when a kid wants ice cream (or some other sweet treat) but its clear their parents or grandparents or whatever adult theyโre with doesnโt want them to have sweets at 11 in the morning is to tell the kid โNooo you donโt want that, itโs got Dinosaur Cooties on itโ. And I get one of two responses from this
One being โD: !!!!!!!!โ utter horror, โwhat do you MEAN dinosaur cooties exist??? I have to worry about THAT now??โ and it is the funniest thing. Bonus points if the adult theyโre with plays along. Works best on younger kids, theyโre ALWAYS shocked that thereโs this New Cootie they have to worry about and suddenly the sweet treat is not at the forefront of their mind.
Response two being โNo way >:(" to which I go โYeah, youโve seen Night at the Museum, right? The dinosaurs come to life every night! The big one in the lobby, her name is Rexie, she comes in here and licks all the ice cream, gets slobber everywhere, itโs suuuuuper gross :(โ That usually gets them LOL. Again bonus points if the adult plays along (most do, funnily enough!)
Iโve also had several kids come up to me throughout their meal and ask โAre you SURE thereโs dinosaur cooties on the ice cream???? D:โ or something along those lines, and when I tell you I keep the bit going as long as I canโฆ. It is so funny. I am nothing if not a man for the bit.
can't believe millennials had to smoke out of soda cans and apples then blow it all into a toilet paper roll filled with dryer sheets while gen z can just pull out a weed pen and hit it in the middle of target
