Weirdo and Kid

Just a bit of my life as a queer parent.

It always annoys me when people say they don't want to use 'they' pronouns as a singular pronoun. "It's too confusing, we won't know if someone is talking about one person or multiple people!" It's ridiculous. We usually work it out from context, and if not, it's okay to ask. What's more, it's not even the most commonly used ambiguous pronoun in the English language. I'm starting to think people make a fuss about it for another reason O_ó

My thoughts.

my kid, handing me a pile of identify objects: "can you shuffle these?" i...i CAN but..why?!!

me, looking at TV: *sees Nick Clegg*

I told my 3 year old that “hate is a strong word” and the next day we had pasta and they said “this pasta is a strong word”.
