Don’t Assume My Topic Thread

I introduced my daughter to what I call the “I am not in a group” paradox. In her ever teen like quest to find all the puzzle pieces that will shape the image of herself, my daughter asked me if it is fine if she does not want to belong to any group. I told her that it is perfectly fine to go her own way. I also asked her if there are others she knows of that feels like her. She replied that she did and they often get together and chat about it.

I then gave her my evil mastermind grin which she knows is code for “listen to what you just said”. Gave her a few seconds and she understood the paradox. I love young minds, the light bulb moments are such a joyous shout out to creativity and optimism. I miss that part about being a teacher.

Gotta love fighting with medical aids. . . . . From ordering a wheelchair to now finding a hospital bed - not sure what kind exactly.

Tried any hospices, hospiecies, hospice? :man_shrugging:

Also, what has this world come to where 10-year-olds are having playground games like Kiss, Kill and Murder and receiving death threats from other pupils.

I got one if you need the code, or anyone. It’s subject to a minimum spend of R1,000 I think.

Ditto. First I heard about it was here and now. Just went to wade through all the Takealot spam specials emails - there’s a lot :slight_smile: - but no voucher.

@Beo if yours is still available, I’ll take it from you.

Grammatically, I cannot figure out why my system is detecting this as an error?

I think it’s a contextual thing more than an error. An “are you sure this is the correct form of ‘to’?”

To. Too. Two. Tutu. :grinning:
