I'm a Monster (a confessional)

I don’t like chocolate.

I left the house for an hour. According to my cat, this is a monstrous, agitating act. He learns he is in the house with my kid, and makes a circuit of trotting in and out of the main-level rooms of the house, meowing his anxiety. “Oh Bastet, you mean I’m left here with YOU? Help me find her!”

You’re a saint. More for me.

Cats have it coming. They’re the monsters.

Only half a like for you. Cats aren’t monsters. Most of the time. Well, some of the time. If they’re happy.

What does it say about me that I feel less awkward about fake-killing-off the accounts that I use for testing than fake-marrying them off?

As revenge, I would give nieces and nephews musical instuments for Christmas presents.

Another good one is crafty, gluing things for kids with lots of glitter.:smiling_imp:

My personal favourite has been a Spider-Man web launcher.

It’s not original, but I still like the quip that glitter is the herpes of craft materials.

Finally we’ve realized it’s the herpes of the planet, along with all the plastic microbits around. Whenever we get a greeting card covered with glitter I’m tempted to throw it out and forward the cleaning bill to the sender.

We get fewer Xmas cards every year, but about 4 out of 5 are coated in glitter, so I can sympathize.

However, by the terms of this thread, I am obligated to say, “You monster!”.

For my Cub Scout pack, each of the adults has been assigned to bring in a STEM project this week.

I’m bringing in popsicle sticks, straws, and elastic bands to make rubber band harmonicas.

I have to put up with the noise for 90 minutes, tops. The parents, on the other hand… :smiling_imp:

Give the parents this advice: Rubber cement, using some of those popsicle sticks to push it in, makes pretty good moldable earplugs.

Think i’d go with a chaotic pendulum.

It’s a thought, but almost certainly more expensive to construct. Especially if I want them to take one home with them.
