Bruce being just as guilty of introducing Jason to people like he is but a small little guy.
Bruce at gala supporting youth literary comprehension programs: Have you met my son Jason? As stubborn as kids can be I managed to get him to attend.
Beneficiary: oh that’s wonderful! Does your son enjoy literature?
Bruce: oh absolutely! That’s what convinced him to even come! He has so many respectable hobbies for someone his age. Kids these days rarely find value in the classics but not Jason! Honestly he reads more, and more in depth, than I do! He’s a little mechanic too! When I first saw him he was trying to take the tires off my car with a lug wrench that was bigger than him! It was quite a sight and a rather unconventional way to meet your son but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Beneficiary, blinks as they try to process all the proud dad info: …well that’s lovely, we have some activities for the children of the donors so that none of them get too bored!
Bruce: that’s great! I’ll let him know. Jason, can you come here for a moment?
A very tall, wide, and muscular man turns around and raises an eyebrow.
What a coincidence, that dude must also be named Jason.
He walks towards them
Jason: what do you want old man?
What
Bruce: there are activities at that table if you’re bored.
Huh
Jason: thanks for the memo but I’m not exactly at coloring book age anymore remember?
Bruce: I suppose you’re right :(

today in kindergarten volunteer adventures: one of the kids asked me if I had children, which happens at least once every time I go in; the first time one boy asked me if I had kids and then followed it up by asking if I was in 1st grade, which is possibly the funniest combination of questions I've ever been asked. anyway, until today I thought I didn't have children but this sweet kindergartner revealed to me that I have four kids... ages 11, 12, 17, and 88 :D I don't know anything about them yet but happily the kindergartners love telling me things* so I'm sure ONE of them will be able to help me out here. I can't believe I've been a deadbeat mom for like 90 years now. this is especially enchanting to me bc I'm turning 34 tomorrow LMAO

I found another book that makes little kids lose their minds: Bad Dog by Mike Boldt.
I guarantee this one's a winner with the Littles.
It's especially A+ great for Kindergarteners (though entertaining for at least up to Grade 3 for sure), because it doesn't have a lot of text and they're super engaged with yelling at the girl that Rocky's NOT A DOG.

Way back when I worked with kids for a while my colleagues asked me about how I got them to quiet down and listen so quickly whenever I was alone with them.
I just told them I didn't know because I thought it was embarrassing to admit that all I did was channel my inner Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir of Isildur and Rightful King of Gondor.
I simply held my hands out palms down, and said, in a deep, quiet voice.
"Peace".
It was always met with complete and utter silence and a bunch of kids staring at me, confused.
Try it.

If you see a bad take or interpretation of a character you don't agree with, remember, it's just like someone using a skin in a video game.
Would Luke Skywalker really join a Fortnight tournament? Probably not. But you can still play as him, if you want.
You can look at someone's extremely ooc stories or art and just go, "Ah, I see they are using the (insert character here) skin for this gangster/yandere/AOB/whatever thing." And then not write a 1,000 word essay about how awful that is.
In fact, I encourage it. The more you stew on something that you can't change, the more miserable you and those in your sphere will be.
Don't make other people's playtime a burden you have to carry. And don't ruin their fun by stomping in and demanding they do things your way. Whose side do you think the teacher would take if a little kid did this on the playground?
We're literally all just playing barbies with our blorbos.
You have the power to choose not to be miserable about it.

i used to play on these at school, they were inside. the recess room had 4 of them, but none had the slides. when i was very young, we would flip them on their sides and climb on them until one day my mom decided that was a bad idea, as she worked there and wanted to keep us safe.

Adventures in Librarian-ing
According to my principal, the Kindergarteners were extremely excited about the fact that today was their first library visit where they'd get to pick a book.
One of the Kinders had a doctor's appointment earlier in the day, and the kiddo's mom told my principal that he had been adamant that they HAD to be back before 2 because that was library time.
(Don't worry -- they made it in time!)
