Article that prompted me:
PRESCHOOL lessons back in the day:
"This is number 1, and after 1 comes 2, after 2 comes 3 and 4, then 5, and 6,and 7, and 8, and finally 9. Then there is 10, which isn't in the ones column, but I better tell you about it so you don't have to wonder about the last finger on your hands! Now can you all bring me one or (1) item from your lunches because I forgot mine?" 馃檪
PRESCHOOL MODERN TIMES:
" Hey, have you kids picked what sex you want to be yet? Or are you going to go non-binary?" Come to think of it, non-binary you only need 1 finger or no fingers, and we'll pretend those are the same."
"Yes Billy?"
" But zero and one are not the same."
" What the fuck did you just say? You go and the hallway and repent!!!"
"Yes Tommy"
" Are you saying flipping someone off is the same as showing them a fist?"
"Go join your friend in the hallway! Boy your parents have raised some real smartass here"
Poor kids gotta be like, "wtf, I think I need a juice box man, I dunno what they talking about anymore."
