"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I know that when I was a little kid the aunt I stayed with during the workday would offer me a choice of two options for meals—I think having that say in the decision mostly warded off refusals to eat entirely.

Then again, while I was a picky eater it was over specific things I didn't like such as spinach, beans, or anything with gravy on it (still have aversions to the latter two). I think I was always game to eat a selection of vegetables like corn, tomatoes, and lettuce; and was happy enough to eat vegetable soups and stews if I could pick the lima beans out.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ltc will whine and declare anything I put in front of her at dinner as "too icky" without even trying it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I think having that say in the decision mostly warded off refusals to eat entirely.

Maybe in your case, but parenting blogs are full of helpful advice like this - "don't ask what they want, offer them a choice between two things" - and it's bullshit. I've never met a kid at any age who couldn't figure out how to say "No" to a choice between A and B if they didn't like either option.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just saw a poster here at work for something called CarnEvil at a location listed only as Insane Clown Sanctum and I am legit scared.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

A choice between two things worked beautifully when I babysat. It's useless as a parent.

TCG is getting a routine medical test today. So, I'm in the cafeteria eating a falafel and waiting.

Our wings are not tired

something called CarnEvil at a location listed only as Insane Clown Sanctum

Nothing about this seems the least bit strange to me. Then again, my given area of work seems to skew my perception.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Someone tell me not to scream at random strangers on Twitter about flu. Me yelling at them will not make a dent in their shield of crazy.

And I'm from the home state of Insane Clown Posse, so...

Y'all. I don't want to do anything today, but unfortunately, I have to do all the things and make all the decisions. I'm behind on The Good Place since I couldn't watch Hulu while in Ireland, so I'm using episodes as a bribe to get things done.

I just don't like that there's something called Insane Clown Sanctum near me that doesn't need any other address. Like, everybody should already know where that is?
