Currently Farmkid and her BFF (who is co-isolated and remote-learning with her, so they’re kind of a unit by now) are running around the house calling one another scoundrels but that is not why i opened this window to update
no
a moment ago Farmsister opened the window, when Farmkid and BFF showed up in the backyard because BFF’s mom had just arrived, and greeted them by jokingly yelling “HEY KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN”
and for some reason the girls’ reaction was to shriek “SHE CALLED US KIDS!” in great indignation and come over to the window and harangue us with their preferred terms of address.
I mean verbatim Farmkid stood on the swingset and yelled “I PREFER KITTY CHILD” and her BFF was like “I WOULD RATHER BE ADDRESSED AS KITTEN” and they went on like this for a solid five minutes while we did not acknowledge them
and then BFF did a totally sick and completely accidental double-flip off the swing, which was alarming but ultimately ended well so all is ok; we assured her she’d looked cool as hell but she should Not do that again
For the record, BFF’s mom pointed out that Farmkid was looking in her English Language Arts workbook and it had a section on several of the pages where it said “Children will” and then the instructions, and Farmkid has leafed through and crossed out every instance of the world “children” and BFF’s Mom was like “???” and she was like “I AM NOT A CHILDREN” and BFF’s Mom was like “I hate to break it to you but the singular of that is child and you are” and anyway Farmsister supports her, it should say “students”, that’s more inclusive
But they prefer to identify as kittens so like here we are, i guess
I think I have to run the homeschooling tomorrow so that’s v exciting, for me, I can’t wait. (No I’m sure it’ll be fine.)
