I suspect that all old Joe can do anymore is sniff. Doubt he can get it up for anything, even this young girl, but he sure does love to sniff them. Weirdo.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Taylor Caldwell, A Pillar of Iron
My oldest daughter was like this in high school and we were middle/upper middle class at the time. It's very strange.
I grew up in poverty, worked my arse off to provide a better life for my kid than the one I had and then she resents me for providing her a better life.
This is what I've started doing with my daughter who gets her info from TikTok sadly. She'll tell me something she learned on there. I'll follow up with how does that person know x,y,z? Why do you believe it? Have you actually looked into it for yourself instead of relying on the stranger on TikTok?
She will sulk off after that series of questioning but I'm hoping it at least makes her stop and think for a minute.
We used this group for homeschooling my daughter. No regrets.
