I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.
I’m glad there’s a teacher version of “accidentally called teacher ‘mom’”
when I worked at Medieval Times occasionally I would slip in real life and call people “my lord”
One time during family prayer, dad began: “our father who art in heaven, American Airlines, how can I help you?”
One time my dad went to the White Castle drive-thru and the lady (who was supposed to say ‘Welcome to White Castle, what’s your crave?’) asked, “Welcome to White Castle, what’s your problem?”
She apologized profusely while my dad proceeded to lose his shit laughing.
Yesterday I went to Wendy’s and the girl said “Welcome to McDonalds” and then just sighed
the most insanely cool thing any homestuck character ever did was when terezi drew a chalk outline for her own dead body then laid down and died in it. that was so fucking raw
i feel like “laid down and died” is severely underplaying it because the dying very much came first in the order of things
so not only did she draw that chalk outline but she did it with the exact knowledge of how she would die and collapse, probably using her abilities as seer of mind because what the fuck else are Weird Mind Powers good for if not predicting your own death and making a personalized crime scene aesthetic out of it
