Hatty

@ItsRobbAllen @Weerdington I'm 33 and still sometimes say words wrong. I know that they're wrong but I said them that way in my head for so long that sometimes it takes over

One series of inside-jokes we have around here are when invariably, my girls would pronounce a word they had never HEARD before but knew from reading. Eldest said SOUTH-ern instead of SUH-thern once and it was so cute. We laughed, but made sure she wasn't embarrassed and praised her for using words she knew even if she didn't know how to pronounce them.

My wife & I never did baby talk with either of our girls. Because of this, their vocabulary was always *considerably* advanced*. One of my favorite interactions was at a play date, my eldest—probably 4ish—was coloring with her friend. My daughter asked for the blue crayon, her friend handed one over, and my daughter said "No, that's Cerulean. I want Blue." The mother just gave me that "What in the hell did I just witness?" look and I kind of shrugged. *This actually ended up biting us in the ass later in life as we (my wife & I) mistook intelligence for maturity.

@domiknitstitch @MrPitbull07 Because it's AI slop! They steal photos (they stole mine) and make up completely false stories about them! Who knows who this poor woman is.

@MrPitbull07 Why is it always tedooo? Bc all of these heart string pulling stories I will never even go on whatever that is. I have a big heart but I feel way too many people are taking advantage of others with sob stories like this.

“My mother wore this dress to her company's early Christmas party two nights ago and came home in tears. They do it before Thanksgiving every year so people can travel for the actual holidays. She's fifty-three, worked there nineteen years, and not one person complimented her or even really looked at her. She spent the whole night invisible while younger coworkers took selfies and praised each other's Target outfits. She made the dress herself over three weeks. My dad said they couldn't afford new clothes so she used a pattern she found and Christmas fabric from the clearance bin, stayed up late every night sewing. When she showed it to me before the party I told her she looked beautiful. She actually glowed. But she came home destroyed. Found her still wearing the dress sitting on her bed crying saying she's too old, too heavy, nobody sees her anymore. I got so angry watching my mother, who is talented and creative and works so hard, feel worthless because her coworkers are blind. I grabbed her phone and posted a photo of her in the dress to the Tedooo app craft groups where I sell jewelry. Didn't ask permission, just did it because I needed someone to see what I see when I look at my mother. She woke up yesterday to over four hundred notifications. People asking about the pattern, the fabric, begging her to make custom dresses. A woman offered to pay double for a rush order. Another said she'd been searching for this exact style for months. My mother sat at the kitchen table reading comments and crying, kept saying "they think I'm talented?" I helped her open a Tedooo shop yesterday afternoon. Within six hours she had fifty-three orders. Fifty-three people who want my mother to make them something. She's at her sewing machine right now, first time I've seen her smile in months. She's wearing that dress to work Monday. And when her coworkers ignore her again she'll know that hundreds of strangers see her value even if they don't. The people who are supposed to appreciate you sometimes won't. But there's a whole community out there waiting to celebrate what you create.” Credit: Linda Evens
