She once met a young boy from a poor family. And every day at school, he would get a free lunch from a government program. But he told Eloise he didn’t want a free lunch. He wanted his own lunch — one in a brown-paper bag just like the other kids’. He wanted one, he said, because he knew a kid with a brown-paper bag had someone who cared for him.
So the Republicans will be supporting the food stamps program, so that the kid's parents will be able to get food for the kid to take to school? Good to know!
I got free school lunches for four or five years, and the two years I was sent off to parochial school, lunch was included in tuition. The free lunches never made me feel unwanted, there were plenty of other reasons to believe that. The worst humiliation was in kindergarten, and the teacher withheld my milk and graham crackers as often as not. Because being poor is a choice, probably?
my mother's special moment came when she was 5, in 1940. She was raised by a single mom and took the public bus (!!!) to kindergarten. One day she missed her stop, she didn't want to get busted for being late, so she just wandered around East Orange, NJ for the day. The next day at outside attendance, the principal pulled her out of rank and proceeded to tell her "what a wicked, wicked little girl she was" for missing school yesterday.
/FFS
Put it all together and it was an easy decision to not want kids, but to come to that conclusion by age 7 was probably an issue I should have talked to someone about…
Yes it was a couple of years ago . . . .

wow, way to fuck up a little kid. Who denies food to a child?
60 years later, and I still remember. Lucky for ol' Miss Thompson she's probably dead by now…

Are there no workhouses?
Alright, Weej – | what did you say? |
Woah. I'm sensing a bit of anger there, on the ground.
Hey, here's an idea: could you please drive past Drumpf Tower?
He's gonna need a bigger spray can.
