amiable anarchy

how to amuse yourself while unsettling everyone else around you

when cars stop for you at a zebra crossing, run up and pat their hoods to show your appreciation.

when the train pulls up to your stop, stand up and say, "well, that's me!" and step off with a matter-of-fact, "thank you, driver!"

say nothing when you answer the phone. they rang you. they can speak first.

this is absurd

look, i love kids. i loooooove kids, even when they're bratty and sick and under the weather. but i cannot accept having 8 kids on top of another 6 kids, with no visible means of income. what are you going to live off of? the fact that you have 14 kids and you had 8 in a pop? are you going to market your children? be reasonable. if you cannot afford children, no matter how much you want them, you SHOULD NOT have them. think about the welfare of a kid first before what you want. because when you're paying for 8 college educations, you're not going to be susie sunshine happy.
