look i’m not saying that children shouldn’t be allowed to play video games or anything like that but the fact that kids as young as EIGHT are using misogynistic, homophobic and racial slurs in casual conversations because they heard their favorite streamer or opponent on a video game say it is something that urgently needs addressing
…who is smart enough to steal the bubble wand out of my hand and run around with it
… and look around for bubbles
… and then turn around to bark at the bubble jar when the bubbles don’t happen
I used to think i was introverted bc I really liked being alone but it turns out I just like being at peace & I am very extroverted when I’m around people who bring me peace
i’m introducing my little cousins (ages 3 and 6) to studio ghibli movies. the first one we watched was ponyo, and we watched it like 6 times in two days because the 3-year-old kept requesting it on repeat, and she started crying when we suggested we watch something new, so i told her “this one is just like ponyo” to console her long enough to get five minutes into spirited away and realize she likes it
anyway now she refers to spirited away as “ponyo 2” and the rest of my studio ghibli collection as “the ponyos”
the 3-year-old approached me with the cat returns and asked “can we watch this ponyo next?”
