Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for April 17, 2021

But where’s the fun in that?

Sage advice, Aunty. Think I heard that when I was a kid, too.

Naw. Those challenges are too hard.

If I can do it, anyone can.

True, why couldn’t Challenges be things like , make straight A’s or resist peer pressure.

Get real, Aunty! :D

Finish school with decent grades and try not to kill anyone.

If you’re their lodestar, why bother?

Ah, the Darwin Awards Competitions!

Unusually good advice from Auntie.

Good news and bad news:

Bad news: You are going to die.

Good news: If you are careful and with a little luck, it will take at least 70 years.

Well, my boys will be 18 next Friday. One finished school in January. The other will be done in July(summer school for two classes.) And obviously still living.

Another big challenge, don’t do what we did as a kid.

I don’t know.

I’ve heard that the only thing you learn in Finishing School is how to say “Fantastic” when you really mean “Bullshit”.
