drop your childhood stories:
>be me, age 12
>hate showering more than anything
>it feels gross and i hate getting wet
>my mom starts telling me that if i don’t shower every day then i can’t eat dinner
>i want my dindin so i come up with a genius plan
>let the shower run for 10-15 minutes while i sit in the bathroom
>quickly wet my hair with sink
>mom buys it, i get dindin
>after a month she gets suspicious
>realize i have to step up my game
>now i run the shower and rub my arms/neck with hand soap
>also run my hair under the shower so it’s dripping wet and not just moist
>she asks why i haven’t asked her to buy shampoo yet
>come up with final version of my genius plan
>i’ll stand next to the shower, let the water run, rub soap on my whole body and also use shampoo on my hair so it smells like shampoo
>then i’ll rinse off in the sink
>all while the shower runs
i did this for four years until i realized i was just showering on hard mode

Kids are great. Mine spend 5-10 minutes refusing to do a two minute task.
Kind of like how I spend three or four days avoiding a ten minute phone call.

I am currently on month 6 of not calling the dentist about a painful tooth

Not the flex you think it is lol
Seriously, get your teeth fixed. It’s such a huge impact on your quality of life, especially later in life when that damage really starts to affect your eating habits or self confidence

Broke a tooth on a pizza crust once… 5 years later it abscessed and I had to have emergency surgery to have it removed.
Fun times :/

That sounds awful. I hope you get your teeth sorted out. Somehow.

Fuck me i think I’m on my way to living the pain you had to endure… Maybe I can get another few years like you… maybe

“dinner is ready in two minutes”
Two minutes later, dinner ready
“but I just started a new game!”

Too bad, you either quit that game right now or no videogame/computer for you for the next 2 days.
