1·1 month agoA man I respect quite a lot used to say that college should pay a full-time wage to the students. It should be challenging, it should be a real education (which a lot of modern college is not), and in exchange for that, if you are improving your understanding of the world and your ability to contribute to society, that should be something that society pays you a pretty decent wage for, because it’s a fucking valuable activity.
Honestly I feel like this is why you generally shouldn’t lie to kids. I get that they wanted a fun surprise, and whatever it is fine, but overall kids should feel like their parents are a source of trust and not “fun partners” where the bottom might drop out of their reality at any moment because it was funny.

I mean, in fairness, that’s pretty obviously a nipple.
