@Violinknitter You never know what's going to click with people, innit!

@Violinknitter are you comfortably settled in that seat and enjoying your cup of tea and conversations? Change places. Are you having a leisurely relaxed day? The lateness of someone else just became your problem.

Calvin and Hobbes also captures childhood

@2something @Violinknitter As an adult, and a parent, I tried to read A Series of Unfortunate Events but I had to stop because I could not handle how much the adults in the series consistently and spectacularly let those kids down. Only one adult was different and well, spoilers.

@JessieImproved@hachyderm.io @Violinknitter@wandering.shop Part of the theme of the book is that you shouldn't idolize people, because everyone has faults, including the adults you want to think are perfect.

@Violinknitter

kids wind up wading through a lot of adult baggage because the adults haven't done that work themselves...

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@Violinknitter and the cherry on the cake is adults telling those kids, what an easy, wonderful time they have, no reponsibilities, no burden, called "childhood".

@airwhale@beige.party @Violinknitter@wandering.shop @janeishly@beige.party It's really just the common pattern of dealing with people who are above you in some way. The Adults especially, but a lot of the same arbitrary cruelty is just how people in power are, by either their own malice or the nature of their position.

@energisch_ Childhood is *rough,* even a good one, because learning to be a person in the world isn’t easy!
