I have my phone back from the repair service and finally all the protection stuff is on it as well. I am whole again. XD

Dinner Convo

Dinner table conversation 6/15/15.

Me: Hey, son. A, the girl who you used to be in playgroup with, is transitioning, his mom told me. He is now going to be called B. 

Son1 (15yo): Oh, cool. So is C (*who he used to date for about 5 minutes in 6th grade*). 

Me: Oh, really? What’s his new name? 

Son: I don’t think he’s picked one yet. 

Husband: Isn’t it a bit late to transition when you’re 15? 

Me: Nah. Some kids, like D, knew they were actually a girl when they were toddlers. Other’s don’t realize until puberty starts changing their bodies and they feel it’s wrong. Or maybe even later.

Husband: Doesn’t everyone feel their body is wrong in puberty though? 

Me: Not the same. I hated my boobs in puberty, because they were way too big way too soon and I wasn’t ready for that, but I never felt I wasn’t a girl. I just wore really baggy sweaters for a decade, pretending they weren’t there. 

Husband: That’s true. I guess you just can’t understand how it feels unless you feel it. And it’s not something anyone would choose to feel. I can’t imagine how difficult it is. 

Son1: Hey! Awesome! Now I know 4 trans kids, 1 asexual one, 1 bisexual one and I don’t even know how many gay ones! *starts naming them all*

Son2 (11 yo): Is E gay? (E is Son1′s best friend)

Son1: Nah. Kids in my class ship him with a whole bunch of guys, though. 

Son2: Like who?

Son1: *rattles off a bunch of names* and me. 

Husband (confused): But you’re not gay. 

Son1: So what? 

Me: It’s shipping. Actual sexual orientation is irrelevant. You can ship anyone with anyone. It’s like shipping Captain America with Iron Man, it doesn’t matter if they’re gay or not in the movies or comics. 

Son2 to Son1: Well, you’d be cute together (*possible sarcasm detected*). 

Son1: Damn right. Cause we’re both hot! 

You know, my oldest may have a deplorable work ethic, he may be actively trying to rot his brain with 20 hours of video games a day (if we’d let him) and he has an unfortunate tendency to start whining for fast food as soon as we step out of the house, but freshmen boys aren’t typically known for their tolerance, and at least he is doing an amazing job at that. The smartphone generation is doing some things right.

Ich bin doch leider sehr schockiert, was für dumme "Freunde" ich doch habe.

Complaint (not that anyone will even read this).

Why do people complain about being bored? There is so many things to do. Endless apps you can download on your little smartphone there. You can get in touch with billions of people from around the world in a few swipes and taps of your fingers. You can learn pretty much anything about anything. You can find a book to read. Find a way to get to college to better yourself. Get some sort of certification in something to start a career, like a food handlers card or some language course. Take a personality quiz. Find out where your family started and track back your family's history to as far as it will go. Learn how to make something cool. How to play a guitar. To speak a new language. Book a flight to somewhere you've wanted to visit. Find somebody to share your interests with. Find a friend to geek out with over everything. Look for the one. Just do something with something in your life. You can't be bored when you can do pretty much anything, and that's just with that smartphone of yours. Thank you and good night.

The awkward moment when you're mindlessly scrolling through your dash, and your laptop dies unexpectedly, snapping you back to reality, and your first instinct is to grab your phone and write a post via your tumblr app.
