I’ve always been a pretty good liar. As an adult I’ve come to a moral place in which I don’t use that skill set unless it will explicitly benefit someone. But when I was a kid all bets were off.

I think tiny child me was doing their little autistic best but recognized that some situations would be best navigated by lying as telling the truth never netted positive results. Whether it was because my needs often went unmet or ignored, or because I didn’t see any reason not to lie if it would be more favorable, I’m not sure.

This is the story of my proudest lie. The best lie I ever did. A lie that looking back I still go, damn, I was eight.

Our story begins in second grade. I was eight. My school was having a book fair and I spent my small stipend on Gulliver’s Travels. No idea why. Lacking further funds I wandered the fair and came upon the greatest sight known to man. Frog erasers. They were so cute and I was extremely into animals of all kinds.

The whimsy. Who could have known they made erasers in such wonderful shapes? I mourned that I’d spent my money already, and played quietly with the little frogs in their bin. That’s when I was approached by a few other kids from my class.

I didn’t know most of them very well, but enough that it was civil when they asked me, “Are you going to buy those frogs?”

“I’d like to,” I admitted, “but I spent all my money.”

“Why don’t you steal them?”

“I thought about that, but I don’t have pockets.” Indeed, stealing had crossed my mind but it had been a brief temptation. I wasn’t even scandalized that the other girls suggested it.

“Caitlin has pockets,” the leader of the pack said. And indeed, Caitlin in her purple overalls did have pocket space for two frogs. So Caitlin and I became partners. My role in the escapade was just... wanting frogs and walking out with her. We stole two frogs, a yellow and a purple, and united by the misdeed we played together with them at recess despite not really being friendly prior.

After lunch I was called from class to the library. The principal herself was there waiting for me. She had a somber air, almost mournful that she needed to punish me. It was self evident to me that I was here for frog crimes. Caitlin had cracked and taken the fastest route to forgiveness- snitching on an accomplice. Despite the fact that my role was just: wanted frogs, I knew I was going to be in trouble.

Now, I could have told the truth. Pulled a Caitlin and ratted on the girl who told us to steal them. But clearly I’d still be in trouble for having gone along with the morally bereft plan. I was mad at Caitlin for telling but not enough to foist the onus back into her.

“Do you know why you’re here?” The principal asked kindly.

“Is it about the frogs?”

“Yes, Caitlin told us you stole the frogs.”

I quivered my lip and drew myself up indignantly. “I didn’t steal them!”

She blinked at my vehemence but since I looked near tears she carefully asked, “What happened?”

“I really wanted the frogs, but I didn’t have any money. So I asked the librarian if I could take them and bring the money tomorrow! But she was really busy and lots of people were talking to her, and she said yes! But maybe she was saying yes to someone else? And I thought it was to me but Caitlin didn’t, but I was going to bring money tomorrow!”

The principal. Was flummoxed. This was a situation in which I clearly thought I’d done no wrong, in which she couldn’t prove I had done anything wrong, and which the librarian would almost certainly not be able to weigh in. She regarded me not with suspicion but rather vaguely confused as to how to handle me.

I got off with a slight warning that I should pay for things before taking them, despite not having been the one to take things in the first place, and the frogs were confiscated.

I was vaguely worried they’d call my parents but years later when I admitted the story to my mom as an adult she laughed herself sick and said she’d never gotten a call.

Trying to figure something out about myself; please reblog this for a larger sample size.

#romantic attraction is hard to describe. I guess for me it’s just kind of a stronger desire to touch/kiss on the lips? #oh plus the butterflies type feeling which is different from just being nervous bc it’s not all bad #the actual relationships — IDEALLY — function pretty much the same #or at least as similarly as two friendships with two different people would #cuz yk no two relationships of any type are ever exactly the same #I would not say my feelings towards my partner a year into a relationship are significantly different from my feelings towards my bestfriend #and I would DEFINITELY not say that my feelings/commitment towards my best friend are any weaker

nothing makes me go "ooooh we are NOT the same" quite like reading some post about how people talk with their parents about their interests. what do you mean you told your father about stevebucky. what do you mean he asked further questions

#YEAH this #and it’s not a bad thing to be clear #its just very much Not how I naturally assume most parent-child relationships work

talking to people while holding a beverage is awesome because you don't have to know what to do with your hands and when you don't know what to do with your face you can just take a sip

#you can also do a spit take if appropriate

carmilla my forever girl. she hates the poor. she's wildly unstable. she's a cat, sometimes. she's your toxic hot-and-cold situationship. she's sooo not insecure about her fangs she's soso normal she'll only threaten your life a little bit if you point them out. she only eats hot girls. she has pretty privilege and she abuses it every single day. all her girlfriends' dads hate her. I feel like I know this woman personally, she is the universal queer girl with Problems.

#wow #I think sometimes the doc makes me forget just how much of a Teenager novel Carmilla is (affectionate)

Tne concept of kinks is so funny to me. Especially being against them. Like. Guys its literally just A Thing people do. Why the heck do we care?

#yeah. yeah #also some of the standards for what is and isn’t a kink are ??? #like being turned on by boobs is normal but being turned on by feet is A Kink (and one that gets shamed a lot) #like what are you yapping about that’s practically the same thing #suggestive

Thank the lord that Benoit Blanc is a detective with compassion and kindness and cares while also being a genius detective because the two don’t need to be exclusive

The fact that Eve was able to sneak away long enough to eat the apple means that she had ample unsupervised time. We don't know what god did with Lilith's body. All I'm saying is that it's possible Eve ate Lilith.

#now this is a fun take #and yuri. to me
