just a day

i worked well at the gym today, then came home to find gd in bed with whatever bug i had last week. i took mr smear out to the company gardens, one of the squirrels was terrifyingly aggressive, i actually called a man who was harassing me "rapey" after saying "no, thank you" and then repeatedly saying "no" because he just couldn't leave off, mr smear playing nicely with the two kids we met the previous day

struggling to figure out where all our money went this past month and stressing a bit about taxes

hunter x hunter, the yorknew arc becoming a bit too much for mr smear but fortunately he passed out before things got out of hand, settling in to finish a task and now, 1am, going to bed.

i love /r/askreddit. i have to share my latest answers:

What’s the most embarrassing thing a parent has done to you?

1. we were guests at my parents' friends. a man walked in so old and frail that he looked like a caricature, and i was transfixed. suddenly my father, who'd been standing next to me, bellowed "it's okay to laugh, you'll be that old too some day!". i hadn't been laughing, but once he said that everyone including the old man thought i had and i just wanted to die.

2. my 11th birthday was at a skate park, i'd never been able to drop in on a half pipe and my father, in front of all the kids in my class, shamed me into trying. i fell flat on my face to peals of laughter and was totally humiliated, i refused to try again and ran off... he made the mistake of chasing me, trying to get me to try again and saying "i'm not going to hit you". where all the kids and parents could hear i screamed out "you always hit me! every day you hit me! you even hit my mother!"

it wasn't entirely true, but they couldn't have known that... boy, did i end up getting a beating, along with a rather sad reputation at school...

Parents of reddit, what's the funniest reason you've been called into school to collect your child?

this was in the 80's, my parents were called in to the middle school to pick up my sister, she'd gotten frustrated during a typing lesson and in a fit of rage lifted the massively heavy typewriter and threw it out the window.
from the second floor.
above a walkway.
...
she was expelled, not her first nor her last weird story. we still laugh about this, but tbh mostly nervously.
