If masturbating while stoned isn’t called weed whacking I don’t know how to live my life anymore

(via ruingaraf)

For months, every morning when my daughter was in preschool, I watched her construct an elaborate castle out of blocks, colorful plastic discs, bits of rope, ribbons and feathers, only to have the same little boy gleefully destroy it within seconds of its completion.

No matter how many times he did it, his parents never swooped in BEFORE the morning’s live 3-D reenactment of “Invasion of AstroMonster.” This is what they’d say repeatedly:

“You know! Boys will be boys!” 

“He’s just going through a phase!”

“He’s such a boy! He LOVES destroying things!”

“Oh my god! Girls and boys are SO different!”

“He. Just. Can’t. Help himself!”

I tried to teach my daughter how to stop this from happening. She asked him politely not to do it. We talked about some things she might do. She moved where she built. She stood in his way. She built a stronger foundation to the castle, so that, if he did get to it, she wouldn’t have to rebuild the whole thing. In the meantime, I imagine his parents thinking, “What red-blooded boy wouldn’t knock it down?”

She built a beautiful, glittery castle in a public space.

It was so tempting.

He just couldn’t control himself and, being a boy, had violent inclinations.

She had to keep her building safe.

Her consent didn’t matter. Besides, it’s not like she made a big fuss when he knocked it down. It wasn’t a “legitimate” knocking over if she didn’t throw a tantrum.

His desire — for power, destruction, control, whatever- - was understandable.

Maybe she “shouldn’t have gone to preschool” at all. OR, better if she just kept her building activities to home.

I know it’s a lurid metaphor, but I taught my daughter the preschool block precursor of don’t “get raped” and this child, Boy #1, did not learn the preschool equivalent of “don’t rape.”

Not once did his parents talk to him about invading another person’s space and claiming for his own purposes something that was not his to claim. Respect for her and her work and words was not something he was learning.  How much of the boy’s behavior in coming years would be excused in these ways, be calibrated to meet these expectations and enforce the “rules” his parents kept repeating?

There was another boy who, similarly, decided to knock down her castle one day. When he did it his mother took him in hand, explained to him that it was not his to destroy, asked him how he thought my daughter felt after working so hard on her building and walked over with him so he could apologize. That probably wasn’t much fun for him, but he did not do it again.

There was a third child. He was really smart. He asked if he could knock her building down. She, beneficent ruler of all pre-circle-time castle construction, said yes… but only after she was done building it and said it was OK. They worked out a plan together and eventually he started building things with her and they would both knock the thing down with unadulterated joy. You can’t make this stuff up.

Take each of these three boys and consider what he might do when he’s older, say, at college, drunk at a party, mad at an ex-girlfriend who rebuffs him and uses words that she expects will be meaningful and respecte, “No, I don’t want to. Stop. Leave.”

HELLO TROLL COSPLAYERS! Im now in the posession of all three leading kinds of grey makeup and i wanted to show everyone the different outcomes before you buy somthing that might not work how you want it too.

BEN NYE GREY/WHITE MIXED POTS: its a cream makeup so setting it is difficult and it rubs off even after being set with ben nye spray.

Wolfe Cosmetics Gray/White: the grey is MUCH. TOO. DARK. similar to pencil lead in color. Youd better buy white if you want to mix them because Wolfe is known for not playing nice with OTHER BRANDS of makeup. Ben Nye spicificly formulated thier setting spray NOT TO WORK with wolfe products. the grey will become dry and turn bright pink if mixed with ben nye setting spray. the one up side to Wolfe is that it sets itself once dry. im currently scratching my arm covered in Wolfe and i swear on my life, not even an ATOM of it has moved or faked off.

Snazaroo Light Grey Makeup: So Snazaroo is popular, and let me tell you why… oh wait… i dont need to. at all. you get it wet, put it on with a foundation brush, let it dry, ben nye / hair spray it a tiny pit, and baby powder it. and boom. its light grey troll skin and it wont go anywhere for quite awhile. i have to admit my doubts about snazaroo because, well, somthing so cheap and clownish just sounds too cheap to be as good as the high-end Wolfe and Ben nye makeups… but… low and behold. my favorite among all others, is Snazaroo.

Hobby-Lobby Body Paints: These are a super cheap and very good immitation of the previously mentioned makeups, and if you can only aford one, i would go with the white. it mixes very well with any other brand of makeup, especially snazaroo if you want a lighter tone and the white can be MIXED WITH BEN NYE SETTING SPRAY INSTEAD OF WATER AND YOU CAN PUT IT ON AND ONCE IT DRIES IT WONT MOVE EVEN IF YOU DRAG YOU ARM AGAINST A TEXTURED WALL. I TRIED IT. MY BOYFRIEND WATCHED ME, ITS TRUE.

i hope this helped anyone mixed up in all the confusing mixed up world of monochromatic flesh paint like i was!

If I ever tell you I’m going to sleep and then you see me posting or liking things online for about an hour immediately after that, I promise I wasn’t lying to you, I’m just bad at going to sleep and it is usually a long process that begins with disengaging from any sort of immediate contact with people (chats, for example) and ends when everything on my screen is blurry and I’m hallucinating plot points I haven’t written yet
