      No they’re a Chinese plot to have every child become sleeper agents who will then unlock your front door so a Chinese soldier can come in and poop in your toilet, move your salt and pepper shaker and mess with your pillow configuration on your bed.

          Yes, militaries do tend to attract nationalistic psychos. The US Marines have done the same thing to many civilians. The have whole in-group rituals about it.

    Where’s the pill bottle cap and a BIC lighter? Those are skills kids born today will need when they grow up. Maybe like a bubble wrap sheet but with beer can ring pulls instead?

      I went to Montessori and it was awesome. I got tons of memories from there even though I wasn’t more than 4-6 years old, which is really saying something.

          No, you’re thinking of “the cask of amontillado”. Montessori was an old monastery south of Rome, which was destroyed by ravaging children in WWII.
