FlabberGast

See this little kid?
So did I this morning en route to taking Rapha to kindergarten.
See how it looks like his toochas might be hanging out?
It is.
And no, I have no idea either. And neither does the woman to his left holding the purse, for that matter.

Why would someone's mother take him for a bare toochas walk down a busy city street? Got me.

Or on the same theme, why would a seemingly together, non-inebriated/non-homeless guy sitting the next table over at a city cafe spit such an utterly gutturally horrific loogie into the potted plant beside him as to evoke the gag reflex and morbid curiosity surrounding his clearly un-gentrified upbringing?

I'm having a difficult time coming to terms with Holy Land Central these days. Indeed I am.

    um, new age toilet training?

  2. No no. The "new age" toilet training in these parts would be picking a female child up and holding her mid-air as she urinates in a public spot - say the front walkway to an apartment building - then shaking her for a drip-dry. I find that popular practice completely reprehensible. slf

  5. As a matter of fact, Hadas, now that you mentioned it...And the "white" & "woman" and "savage" terminology is yours, not mine. Don't mean to step on your people's toes. But hey, when you get back from living in Canada I reckon you'll feel right at home, Huh?
