Banter TRTT Part 12: Get Your Bowels Checked

[tribey]

The Carnarvon Toyworld (lol) knew him as a regular customer from buying the Bratz dolls. He'd sometimes order them in especially.

Magpiespowaz has been lifted at least 100 places up a whole lot of lists for his Star Wars action figure collection

Obviously Carnarvon Toyworld wasn’t going to grass him up, he’s keeping them in business.

On that parenting judgement show, the only kids to not leave with strangers in the staged test were the kids of the strict church goers.

Take that progressive parents

You'd have star wars ones wouldn't ya?

Of course, but found girl ones sometimes funner. You could change their clothes and they had more accessories, boys toys were just plastic things and sometimes maybe you could fit a gun on their hand, sort of?

It's like playing a video game with a character creation menu, vs one where you just play nameless American man.

Parents who put the fear of god into kids with the stranger danger stuff are probably gonna be effective of course the flip is they probably grow up petrified of everything & become weirdos themselves.

The same kids who in the parent-children flipped role play began striking mum and dad with objects?

Best two-out-of-three will be how they do on the ‘picket a funeral with the placard of your choice’ task.

Ironically they're also probably the most likely to actually be molested at some dodgy church boarding camp

I found just by being a weirdo kid - teen then noone wanted to take me home and potential kidnappings just sorted themselves out.

Lol yes, they went straight for the wooden spoon, and I think I experienced PTSD thinking about it.

If they went for the magic belt that used to live in the pine cabinet under the microwave, I think I'd have spent the night in a padded cell.

Traumatise my child for life so that on the 1/100000 chance they get approached by a man with kittens in a park they will say not today, lucifer?

Sign me up!

Didn't think i would see a day where the terms "grass him up" and Toyworld were in the same sentence but there you go

I had the wooden spoon broken on me in the supermarket when i was about 5. In the long run my mum ended up more traumatised by me regularly reminding her of it throughout my adulthood.

Similar experience here but my mum denied it.

Wait what? you can just deny shit you did as a parent. Game changer

All evidence to the contrary.

Friendlyjordies settled out of court with an apology to Barilaro.

Hmmm

Disappointing.

Oh well, who is gonna be the next martyr?

My sister and I would almost always get into a weekend slanging match while mum was on her bedroom phone to grandma (Brisbane) or our older sister (Melbourne) back when STD day rates were basically a mortgage payment a minute.

After numerous requests for us to stop it/separate went unheeded, the sound of her bare feet slapping on the hallway vinyl as she ran to the kitchen to get the tea towel to slap us in the face with would’ve been the direct equivalent of a Polish cavalryman hearing a Panzer squeak its way towards him.

At least those survivors got medals and a parade as compensation for their PTSD — to this day I can’t polish a mug without having a flashback.

To be fair to my mum, my recollection of the event was that I was being a pretty shitty kid and she was overwhelmed with anger, so it's not unsurprising that she forgot it.

I will be pulling the same thing though, when the time comes.

The wooden spoon was the weapon of choice for my parents, got hit with a shoe a few times too.

Did she get the snap/whip technique perfected? Brutal.

With the prices of long-distance phone calls back then you’d almost rather get herpes.
