Considered submission idea for the Remembering Who We Are zine (Part 1 of ?) :There was so much unnecessary arguing between family members (and even bullying, abuse
from a mother to her daughter). This family was in the process of moving all of their belongings from their old house into a new apartment. There were disagreements and misunderstandings and lots of difficulties, stress, tensions, threat-like shoutings in … Continue reading →

A two-year-old flex points his arm and finger at himself (and while smiling proudly) after being asked “is someone pooing in their pants?”
Sensing accomplishment in the honesty.

Waiting outside of a movie theater’s empty, single-exit auditorium feels safer than being the first to wait (and wait alone) inside that auditorium.
Because I actually had this (paranoid?) concern that if a shooter was the second person to enter the auditorium, then what if he or she notices that I am the only target in that room? If that happened, I think … Continue reading →

But poo is in the spoon. And spooning can lead to pooing.
Victim strangely refuses to answer… What happened? What’s he doing?

“I’M NOT BOSSY; I JUST HAVE GOOD IDEAS,” said the five-year-old to her mother.
The five-year-old declared this loudly, and very seriously and matter-of-fact. I was struck by her logic and ego, so then I and the mother laughed. And her daughter kept on going about like she said nothing wrong. There’s validity in her argument, so we just … Continue reading →

“Yes, I hit her. But she hits me with her words.”
Wow. Someone actually seriously said that to me, and as an excuse. Words confused with sword, so bully’s defense was physical abuse.

She asked her “Do you actually think I’m going to kill you?”
Then there was an awkward silence. I think it was because she did not know how to answer her mother’s question. How was she supposed to answer her mother’s question?
