#6 Made me laugh because, in my mid fifties I started doing triathlons. I sold my Triumph Daytona 900 and bought a mid range racing bike. The joke is that at the Olympic distance, I couldn't have beaten the top guys even if I did the bike leg on a motorbike.
No, you are not. Walking around in my children's schools (elementary, middle, and high; I have six kids) at the beginning of each school year I'm appalled by the spelling and grammatical errors in the teachers' door decorations and classroom notices. My formal education ended with a high school diploma and every one of them has at minimum an Associate's degree, most of them a Bachelor's, but I'm the one who can construct a coherent sentence with all the words properly spelled and used.
Number 18. I told my kids, from kindergarten onwards, first, ignore your tormentor.
Second, tell them to stop.
Third, tell a teacher, asking them to make it stop.
If it persists, or at any point you identify a clearly articulable hazard, fuck a motherfucker up. Hurt them so badly, that they do not want to see your shadow. Hurt them so badly, no other bully will contemplate fucking with you.
Then, tell them that NEXT time, your dad doesn't find the prospect of another prison term to be a problem, and, if this go around is not enough, dad will show you how the big kids play.
My son ended the career of a quarterback in Jr high. Broke his arms in multiple places. Never tell some one you are going to dig up their dead sister and skull fuck her unless you have a fool proof plan for getting out of your own grave.
#18 is what I told my kids and will tell my grandchildren when the time is right. Anyone who doesn't punch back is marking themselves to be punished for life.
All you have to do is make the swing. Knock the guy out, get knocked on your ass for swinging at him, makes no difference. Once the bully knows that you aren't an easy mark, he's done with you. He'll find someone who is. And the rest of the bullys seem to know too. Lot of growing up in that firsts swing.
I taught my girls and grandyounguns that if they poke or push you much less hit then it is assualt and you are within your rights to defend yourself and any teacher or principal have a problem with that i will handle it! They both got into a fight in elementary school and after defending themselves never got bothered again!!! grayman
The memes and the comments section in "The Shit I post on Facebook" always makes me feel like I'm not alone in the world in my thoughts and beliefs and things I find myself less and less able to keep to myself as I grow older.
18: I told my daughter that when she was in Kindergarten. One day at work, I get a call from the Principal, and my daughter is in the office while a boy is getting his eye tended to. Turns he punched her in the arm before class and she did nothing - she waited until noon and while he was walking by with his friends, she dropped him. I told the Principal this is what happens when they don't call the first penalty - okay fine, thanks. BTW: That boy and my daughter are now married. Great kids.

ReplyDelete#18 Am I the only one concerned that a teacher used the word ‘apart’ which means aside or other than instead of ‘part’?
ReplyDeleteYou are the only one who actually thinks that this meme was actually written by a teacher.
DeleteThat's why the stupid kids that go to college become teachers.
DeleteYup, I saw it and shook my head. Somebody has a proof-reading deficient and missed the space bar.

ReplyDelete#2 Why isn't the cat wearing a PFD?
ReplyDeleteLong-time liveaboard sailor and cat owner here. The cat will get out of the PFD ten times faster than it takes to put it on.
Delete#4 must be years out of date. It has a backspace key.

To my knowledge, my kids got into no fights.
