If they would just stick it out for a week, they'd learn it's not that scary.
Make a deal with them.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Except that all the 7th graders in my 1st period class are so scared of drama they all want out.
But isn't it an elective?
Sean, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I hope you can talk to your dad.

Suzi, I don't thinks she is coming to dinner, but she may be coming to lunch. I'll let you know.

I didn't know "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" was a horror film.

TCG actually expressed interest and laughed at my full body shudder when Belinda became the topic of conversation. A whole world of NO.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Aims - it might be interesting to ponder - why are "gender neutral" clothes boy clothes? Why is that the default?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My dad's coworker just had twins, a boy and a girl, and I was helping my mother buy a baby present. She wanted to get matching outfits. It took us forever to find one outfit that would "work" for a boy or a girl -- everything in the store was either "Daddy's Little Princess" and pink ruffles, or "Mommy's Little Slugger" and sports uniforms. After a long while, we found some turquoise and orange plaid overalls with an octopus on the front, which we agreed were actually gender neutral.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have no logical answer to that. I guess because in my shallow little brain if it isn't covered in princesses and rhinestones, it's boy clothes. t looks down at her own outfit of an Avengers t-shirt and jean shorts Which, the large majority of my own clothes would fall into.
Like I said, I know I'm totally wrong on this. And I have never said anything to them or anyone about how they dress their kids. I constantly tell Emeline that there are no boy things or girl things - there are just things that people, boys and girls, do.
It is sometimes just funny to me what and how my brain categorizes stuff sometimes.

At least they aren't capitalizing on the blonde ringlets by putting her into a Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit.
I guess?
