I kinda like being a taffy puller tho 😉
Obviously with the heartbreaking cancellation of the series we may never get a clear cut answer.
I think it would’ve been a moving character arc to have Jung not only reconcile with Appa and his family (and possibly Shannon) but to have also had him explain what pushed/angered him into juvenile delinquency.
I personally theorise that somewhere along the line Jung underwent racism from his peers as a child, as well as came into conflict with his parent’s overbearing upbringing
This would have aligned perfectly with the shows overall message of the conflict between Second Gen Asian children vs First Gen Asian Immigrant Parents, and would have been a poignant and sad parallel to the casual prejudice that a lot of Asian youth in the West face in real life.
Anyways, this is my own theory and should be taken with the finest grain of salt. But what are your thoughts?
He got some of his clothes, his teddy bear and his piggy bank and proudly announced, "I'm running away from home!"
The father calmly decided to look at the matter logically. "What if you get hungry?" he asked.
"Then I'll come home and eat," bravely declared the child.
"And what if you run out of money?" inquired the father.
"I will come home and get some," readily replied the child.
The man then made a final attempt, "What if your clothes get dirty?"
"Then I'll come home and let mommy wash them," was the reply.
The man shook his head and exclaimed, "This kid is not running away from home, he's going off to college!"
Yesterday I was meeting my brother for crawfish. Originally, it was going to be just the two of us, but my boyfriend sold his car and needed a ride and decided it would be easier if he just came with. So we get to the restaurant and park. My little bro isn't there - he's running late - so we just waited in the car for him. It took about 25 mins, but while we were sitting there I notice a toddler pop out of the to go door. Someone (maybe grandma?) was right behind him watching, and making sure he doesn't run into the parking lot. They went in and out for about 15 minutes (the door was propped open so it wasn't bothering anyone). FFW to when my bro arrives and we go in and have a seat. We are there maaaybe 5 minutes when said toddler starts WAILING. This child is in a separate area divided by a large chalkboard menu, so no one in the restaurant can see the wailing child to give disapproving looks. This poor couple on the side of the chalkboard that you can see had an infant happily chilling in it's carseat, were given the death glares, even though it clearly isn't their baby making noise. This toddler is with about 6-7 adults a few older kids. NO ONE tried to get the kid to quit, or take him out. So the wailing continues on and off until we left - which mind you, we peeled and ate two lbs of crawfish each so we were there a good amount of time....why are these people at a restaurant with a toddler for so long? IDK. The entire time though, and actually an time a child is unruly in public and gets ignored, I just wanted to wail (or do whatever the child is doing) like the kid to see if that was acceptable. No? Sorry parents, I thought it was the new thing we were trying.
To make a long story short: family in the church for over a century. Born and raised in the church. Nor having attended church in 17 years. In a happy gay unruly relationship for 13 years of which the last two married. A PhD and two masters..... I finally managed to send in my letter of resignation. I don’t know what took me so long..... I hope to get the confirmation faster than it took me to hand in my resignation!
It’s them tacitly admitting that they have no power over you. It’s their last gasp at trying to regain relevancy.
When someone comes up with a nickname for a group of people they don't agree with care for, it's called a slur.
Lazer learner, unruly child, etc. They are all slurs meant to damage the reputation of the group they are applied to and is the antithesis of Christlike or ethical behavior.
Just like "covenant path" means nothing more than following the current leadership agenda. It's really quite immature. They are bleeding members.
Hello everyone,
My son (8M) is becoming so hard to handle. Its starting to rub off on his younger siblings. His sister (5) and two half brother from his dad (3) and (1).
he used to be such a gentle and loving little boy. Well mannered and well behaved. But only recently his attitude towards me and everyone else has changed.
He has consant outbursts as soon as he doesnt get his own way. He constantly hits and bullies his little sister when he thinks im not looking.. controling what she does, everything has to be his way. He has to win every game. If he doesnt get his own way there is lots of shouting and my daughter will always come out in floods of tears saying he hit her. His response will always be it was an accident, and swear blind to it.
I can never get him to go to bed on time as two to three hours later he is still awake and my daughter too. Whom has become extremely tired over time. I put them to be at 8pm but that is only because they go to a chilminder till 6pm 3 nights a week. By the time we have got home had dinner and got ourselves sorted its 8pm. I have tried to put my daugher to bed before him, but she too is still awake when i take him up to bed i simply can not win.
His attitude towards other kids is horrible too. He is becoming a control freak. He cries at every opportunity and he is just becoming a general handful.
He is turning into such a horrible little boy. Everything is so negative and angry im not exactly sure why. Today at the childminders he was telling all the kids that range from 3 to 6 years old that santa is not real and that our parents go out and buy our presents in a really spiteful way. Disheartening all the little ones that belive in santa. The childminder pulled me to the side and told me. Ive never been so embarrassed.
Punishments go in on ear and out the other. I stick to them and they dont seem to be phased by them. Im running out of ideas. Im becoming rather stressed out by it all. Everyday is a constant battle from the minute they wake up untill the minute they go to sleep. I cant handle the tantrums and unnecessary crying. Im just so worn out. Im doing absolutely everything i can to be a good mum to my kids i really am.
Does anyone have any advice?
