There are those times when you feel so frustrated talking to someone that you just want to lash out and not give them any more of your time. This story, however, demonstrates that sometimes kindness and patience is the only way to convince them of your point of view.
For this mother of a transgender child, it's clear that all she needed was to be put in her child's shoes. Now, who's cutting onions in here?
If there's one thing kids have no lack of, it's imagination. Hell, they create entire languages with one another. So when @Jon_Bois asked his Twitter followers to share "the most outrageous lie another kid ever told you when you were a kid," the results, while incredibly entertaining, were hardly surprising to us. Of course a kid would tell his friends he spent his absent days fighting Shredder of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame. And of course people believed him. Imaginative and gullible kids are truly a blessing to the the world. And here's a crap load of their amusing lies in one convenient place.
Kids really say (and believe) the darndest things. As a gullible kid, a friend once told me that she and her father were addicted to shawarma. She said there was nicotine in the meat and that the two of them absolutely had to get their fix daily or they'd become cranky jerks. I believed this for at least a year until my own family took me for some tasty sandwiches.
