Twilight: Wild do you realise you have a stick in your hair?

Wild: Oh yeah no, I couldn’t find my hair tie this morning so I improvised

Twilight: With a stick?

Wild, shrugging: It’s working, so I don’t see what your problem is

On the earlier egg cooking post I reblogged -

Thinking about it more, I feel like I experienced a lot of weird change when I moved with my mom from East Germany to West Germany as a kid. Specifically from a poor household into one where her partner had considerable money.

The poking the egg thing was very much something my mom insisted on, possibly due to her chef background. The egg cups and spoons were a thing too, but that it genuinely just a common German thing all over the country. (No matter if the egg is soft or hard.)

But man, was it weird to have her partner tell us that we were eating the eggs "wrong", since he always cut off the top part completely with a knife, and my mom and I simply hit the top of the egg with the spoon and then peeled the egg open starting on that spot.

Same with the whole egg cooker bit. He suggested we get one and my mom and I were just like ???? pots work just fine ???, so at least on that we got to keep doing what we knew.

After moving out from my stepdad's place a couple years back, I have reverted back to a lot of cooking-related things that I was used to from living in East Germany. Like, I brush off his remaining insistence that I buy certain gadgets (egg cooker, bread slicer) and honestly I couldn't be happier.

I never got comfortable with the high / upper middle class way of life he pressed onto my mom and me - and I'm honestly thankful for it.

The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn't stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying 'I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop." over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.
