i absolutely love that the little girl's thought process was "i'm cute, so i shouldn't have to work as hard as other, less cute people." at her age, she's got it all figured out
The thing was! She actually said, “All I have is my face, so that’s good enough!” and I was like, you are eight, who the fuck has been telling you that??? and I had to be a little more firm about that one.
Unfortunately, that kind of indoctrination starts really early. You can’t really start off with theory when you’re talking to an 8 year old; you gotta hit them where it hurts, such as the fact that cuteness will not get you those exotic animals to hug.*
