That’s how you create an overachieving perfectionist kid who’s afraid to “fail” their parents and the 1st time they experience setbacks or things start to feel a little out of their control, their world completely falls apart. I’ve seen a couple like this, poor kiddos would rather unalive themselves than be anything less than perfect
Wondering if it was Denny’s? Last time we went in our local 1 our experience was similar plus we didn’t even eat any of the food after my 1st bite of eggs was full of eggshells! (We suspect it was on purpose since it was my 2nd plate after the 1st had to be redone bc it was wrong)
My husband almost killed himself at a kid’s party when he was a lad. He decided (egged on by other boys ofc) that it’d be fun to see how many chocolate chip cookies he could stuff in his mouth. Probably wouldn’t have been as bad if he wasn’t laughing while doing it but he nearly choked himself inhaling cookies and did cough and gasp until he threw up everywhere
This arc has reminded me of the night before I was to start kindergarten! I always wanted to do everything my older sister was doing so I was mostly excited for my 1st day of school, a little nervous too, but definitely couldn’t sleep!
My mom (who had 4 kids 6 and under and the youngest just born) sure needed her sleep so she wasn’t too happy with me for continuing to get up and fidget. Finally she said I was not to wake her up again unless there was some emergency and set me up on a beanbag in the living room.
I couldn’t really read much yet (again I insisted on doing what my older sister did so I could read a little and definitely knew my ABC’s) so she gave me the comics page from the newspaper to look at. I still remember looking at Garfield and Snoopy that night in 1986!
Definitely known 1 or 2 people like that, everything is always someone else’s fault, they’re always the innocent victim in their own eyes, whatever goes wrong in their life it couldn’t possibly be the result of their own actions!
I saw a bunch of funny pictures, apparently Thailand banned plastic shopping bags and partly in protest partly just for the fun of it the people there have made it a trend to collect their groceries in whatever random containers they can find from laundry baskets to suitcases, hampers to plant pots, buckets to wheelbarrows, gift bags to trash cans, even saw 1 person using a big traffic cone!
“Withdrawals” from what??
