I forgot that my English thing has to be 200 words, not 100 so now I have 92 more words and nothing else to say. And a lot of anger

say things that make. no sense

I nanny a three year old. Could you say the context?

i skimmed a lot on these, but here! also keep in mind that kids don't talk like how a lot of people write them. they hyper correct on things, especially if they're english speakers, so if you're wondering how a kid might refer to something, consider how it makes sense to say it versus the right way to say it. like, gooses as opposed to geese

just wondering in what capacity kids that age talk, ig? what is the right level of baby talk so they don't seem like a confused adult but also don't sound ridiculous and unrealistic

oh, thanks crocs! i really appreciate it

no problem!!! i hope that helps, and i'm interested in what moxie has to say, too, cause i haven't babysat a young kid in forever lmao

Around two-ish kids stray away from babytalk (which is really just a lot of whining and pointing in order to communicate what they want. At one they can parrot words, but they can't use them to show what they want or need) and are able to use words to commuicate. Like the kid I nanny will often ask where his stuffed animal is ("where's my whale?") or ask for help ("I need help" but like in the cutest tiny voice) or say he's hungry. A lot of the time if I ask him a yes or no question he'll say yes or no and parrot back the question ("do you want help opening that buddy?" "yeah, I want help opening that") or if I say "wow, dude look at that rock!" he'll say "yeah look at that rock!"
idk I hope this helped
If you have anymore questions, I'd be happy to help

Hi yes I'd like to be rude to the person who sexually harrassed me yesterday over voice chat. You're not only a bitch but also an inherent hypocrite, being insensitive of my situation while demanding respect for you being in the exact same fucking situation. I bet you didn't fucking expect me to speak up, did you? And I bet you thought that even if I did, no one would listen to me. But guess what fucko, you attacked me in a place where I have support. Too bad everyone decided to back the person who was actually decent instead of the person who was always a general asshole. You thought you could get away with being a dick and harrassing me online under the guise of a "joke"? Pathetic. You're such a miserable excuse of a human, trying to cause me pain and getting off on it all because you're bored. How truly sad of a life you lead, cunt.

FUCK EM UP RED
Do you need anymore backup? I'll kick their ass

RED I WILL FIGHT THEM WITH YOU!

Nah, I spoke with both Mods and they agreed that this individual needed to go, and that that shit wasn't cool or tolerated. I have also blocked her cuz I don't need that negativity in my life. There was also another individual in the voice chat who corroborated the events I described, further damning her into exile. Both Mods also ended up apologizing to me, they thought she was a better person than that and they were wrong, and they were sorry that the entire ordeal happened to me and one even thanked me for speaking up about the matter before it got worse. I'm so glad that the server is made up of good friends and friends-of-friends, cuz if this happened in a server where I had zero support, I probably would still be in such a bad headspace or worse, completely shutdown.

I'm glad they helped you. Strong support is really important in situations like that

AND GONDOR SHALL ANSWER!!!

Me too. I'm definitely lucky to have had that support during an event that brought back up memories previous similar instances irl.

Okay, this is me complaining, but…
Why the fudge is it that when I don't try to sleep, I sleep, and whenever I try to sleep, I can't? I have to wake up in 5 hours to go to school!
(My school's doing blended learning and they decided to put me in the Monday and Tuesday group…)

hi so :) I was making my bed last night and :) a spider the size of a fucking quarter crawled out of my blankets :) and then ran under my bed before i could kill it :) and i cried for like ten minutes and literally the only way i could calm down was by listing off facts about spiders and why the spider wasn't going ot bother me if i slept while it was still alive (which isn't fucking normal, there's something wrong with me ) :) and then I had a shitty night of sleep anyways :)

DISGASTEN
I'm sorry Ice but you need to burn your entire house down-

I know

I also screamed like twice and nobody heard despite it being like midnight so that was fun

I agree, spiders are nasty.

Bro something like that happened to me last night
I was in the shower and there was a lil spider on the ceiling so I noped right outta there and called for my dad to get it out then there was this huge spider on the wall and I screamed and hid in my room
Basically, there was a big fast spider and a smol pervert spider

One time my cats were staring at my door, I didn’t see anything so I dismissed it
Few minutes later what do I see in my room? A spider.

Oh bro I had a spider-in-the-shower situation. I yeeted it into my younger brother's room aha-
Maybe that's why he hates me :)

ha. we get supersized spiders out here, like ones the size of a tennis ball. one time i was minding my own business in the bathroom and i look at the wall above the toilet and there's just this huge ass spider sitting on the wall and i'm like 'well o k a y'

if spiders that big are going to be living in our house, they can pay rent. they're large enough.

i once cried cause i had to clean a small dead spider out from my closet
that was not a fun day

Are yours paying rent? The squirrels in our shed just trash the place and don't even pay! We're trying to evict them, but we're not sure how.

I once found a dead mouse in my room that I found weeks after it died…
I'm okay with spiders, love snakes, but mice? Get that damned rodent out of my sight!
(I also stepped on one that was in one of those sticky traps wearing socks. I was such a wuss about it that my brother had to get the dead trapped mouse off of my sock… Words of the wise: always wear shoes in an unfinished basement, even if you really don't want to and you're only gonna be there for 5 minutes.)
