This is much the same as people who tell me that Kuma or Bear act a certain way when we aren't here. It's hard to conceive and yet true.
I get this about my parents.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey, you know what's creepier than anything Tim's ever done?
The Wiggles.
I need to make my nephew understand that they're creepy, and he should never get in a car with anyone like that, and if one of them tries to sing him a creepy song about prancing ponies with tails that go swish swish swish, he should say NO!, and then GO!, and then TELL AUNTIE!, so I can take those creepy fuckers out with a baseball bat.
Seriously. They should be called The Wiggins.
Oh yeah, and my nephew says, "Auntie" now.
And then he says, "money?"
And then I give him a quarter. It's awesome.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
My reaction to the Wiggles has always been one of abject horror.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and he should never get in a car with anyone like that, and if one of them tries to sing him a creepy song about prancing ponies with tails that go swish swish swish, he should say NO!, and then GO!, and then TELL AUNTIE!, so I can take those creepy fuckers out with a baseball bat.Allyson and I have similar Auntie-ing skillz.
And then he says, "money?"Sadly.

The Wiggles.
Ahahahaha! Someone else knows my horror!
They taught my nephew to wake any sleeping person with "WAKE UP JEFF!"
No one in my family is named Jeff.
My nephew is morally opposed to anyone being asleep in his awake presence.

One Hot Burrito!
As long as we're talking creepy children's programming, I should mention that I am really, really scared of something called "Boohbah."
I only see the toys, but there is no way those things don't have big, razorsharp teeth. Some are spiny!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Boobah has the best website ever, if you're really stressed out or high.

Huh. After I posted that link, my cursor pointer went all flickery, till I closed the window to the Boobah Zone. Scary! Beware!
