Throwback to when I was working at a kid’s summer camp and witnessed this while a class of 5th graders where lined up for snack time

There are some children here at work bc their parents brought them in for the holiday party and I'm getting so much secondhand joy from just watching them run around, play and explore (I work at a lab/museum so there's loads of cool stuff).

a group of my students are Obsessed with whether or not I have a partner and like to make up scenarios about hypothetical partners and what happened to them. today they created these two cup spouses - my husband and my "girlboy wife"

#after my wife was created I asked why it was always wives and one decided that she was a girlboy while the other made my husband #I love kids so much #my other spouses btw were a wife I left in a grocery store in wisconsin #and a wife I abandoned in brazil #idk why I'm leaving wives all over the place #ghost posts #image #text

I asked one of my four-year-old students where he got all his energy, and he said, “my secret is this” and reached into his pocket and pulled out a yo-yo

#river babbles #rivers and roads #i love kids so much #he told me that to get energy ‘you should do push-ups and yo-yo’

it's always a good gender day when a little girl stares at you in awe while her mother pulls her away clearly intimidated by you

#genderfluid #punk #I mean at least a bit punk #I wasn't trying to but I guess it can't be helped sometimes #I'm wearing like 15 rings tho so there's that #kids see shiny things and go 👁️👄👁️ like a bunch of little crows #I love kids so much #little girls are fascinating creatures

Saw the kid I used to babysit for a couple of years, who is about to start school now, to look after her again for a bit, and when I showed up she looked really excited for a second, but suddenly got quiet and shy and then ran out of the room which was confusing, but then ran back in and handed me a letter written in wonderful preschool scrawl and a little squish toy and her mom said she worked hard to write and give it to me as a gift and !!!! The love I felt 😭😭😭💖💕💘

I think I need to go work with kids for a while. Pick up a couple of shifts. I keep having dreams where I gently guide young children through life and teach them life lessons.

#sure working for a longer period of time is more rewarding because you actually get to know the kids #they get comfortable with you and you'll get all the cuddles and hugs you could ever ask for #they're so GRABBY cry cry cry #i love kids so much #and that blessed moment where all the 20 other kids are playing and having fun on their own #and you get to spend a good 20 mins just having a long chat with your fave kid #when you read them a story and you see in the face of that One Kid you just can't get through to that this story is AWAKENING something #in them. you're making a connection with them through a story #there was this one little girl i still feel bad about #it was absolutely impossible to get through to her. she was cold #rebuffed any emotional connection and relished in negative attention #it wasn't proven as long as i was working there but apparently her dad was beating her mom and siblings and probably her #i felt sorry for her but it was REALLY hard not to hate her because she was SO difficult and intentionally cruel to both other kids and me #& other adults #BUT she loved this one story i read for them. i was reading it for weeks - it was probably a little advanced for them even #you could see her actually getting interested and connecting with this story - something you NEVER saw otherwise #i was always super excited to read this story and i'd place her as close to me as possible during story hour so she could hear #the gd book ended ON A CLIFFHANGER #after it ended i asked the kids questions about how they felt about it #'was it a happy ending or a sad ending?' 'do you think the princess felt happy in the end?' #she got it PERFECTLY #she understood it at an emotional level i wouldn't expect from a kid her age yet along HER out of all people #after story hour ended she came up to me to ask what happened next in the story and that's the most human i ever saw her #i knew there was a continuation so i told her i didn't know but i'd do my best to get the sequel to read #i moved on from that preschool before anyone was able to get the book but i truly genuinely hope she did. #i recommend doing at least a couple of shifts at a daycare or preschool to EVERYONE #you have NO idea what's going on with kids before you do #in the end i didn't work in that business for long but it's left me with so many unforgettable memories #and skills that will be valuable for the rest of my life

toddler was eating a popsicle and asked me my favorite popsicle flavors and I said mint, upon which I asked them what their favorite flavor was and they pondered on it for a very long minute before answering "white"

Like the majority of society I’m obsessed with Nimona

And I rewatched it a million times and one thing always sticks out to me 

There are moments when Ambrosius is surrounded by light like a little protective bubble 

That keeps him away from the man he loves more than anything 

#nimona #nimona 2023 #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister boldheart #ballister x ambrosius #goldenheart #he always looks so small in these scenes #like the light is going to swallow him whole #it almost looks like a little kid wearing his parents clothes #like he’ll never live up to the expectations society has placed on him #this man is so lonely for the whole movie #poor baby had to figure out everything by himself #he looks so tired in the second picture #the thing that kills me is in the last scene he tries to leave the bubble #but Bal shoved him back in #bubba looks ethereal throughout the whole movie #this movie man #it kills me slowly #I love it so much #I’m gonna go cry myself to sleep now #people from the rise fandom know I only post angst when I’m sleep deprived

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

#this is true #writeblr #warm up #relatedly for some reason one of our Favorite Jokes #amongst the Siblings #is like - ''this is so good u will love it'' #while we are reacting to something we OBVIOUSLY find viscerally disgusting #like we will be actively retching and be like ''nooooo it's so good'' #to the point that i sometimes get nervous if someone outside my family is like oh u should try it its good #(obvi we never force each other to eat anything. we are all just curious birds and #like. we're GONNA try the new thing.) #edit to answer why we had so much vanilla: #my mom is a very good cook and we LOVE to bake. so she just had a lot of staples in the house. #it's one of those things that's like. have u ever continuously thought ''ah i should get butter im probably out'' #even tho u are not out of butter. so u end up with like 5 years of butter. #my mom would do that in a costco but like with vanilla extract #to be fair we WERE always using WAY TOO MUCH bc we were kids #so like she was right to stock up #ps. yes we were VERY sick after this lol i just didn't want to include it in the post in case ppl had an ick about that #u can tell it's real bc we knew "oh no we fucked up that's too much vanilla to waste'' but our reaction was to just. keep drinking it #> sibling understanding that vanilla extract isn't free > knowledge mother doesnt mind if we use it for milkshakes #> sibling choice to maybe get in a loophole of ''not wasting it'' if we drink it bc that's the same as using it (not throwing it out) #listen bud i was like 13 and my sister was like 9 #when my mom discovered this we. got in. A LOT. of trouble. a lot of it. a LOT of it. #3rd edit bc i guess it isn't clear - i am 1 of my brother's 2 little sisters #i am the middle child #out of all the ways i have had to explain a post before being like ''did u forget a middle child can happen'' is my favorite
