He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The young man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want." Again the young man took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Next the frog yells, "Okay okay, If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you FOREVER and do ANYTHING you want." Again the young man took the frog out, then he chuckled at it and put it back in his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you forever, and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The young man said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."
So as the title suggest I’m not sure if aunties are being angsty coz they can’t get rice and eggs? Or they just don’t know what kind of situation we are in now.
Please educate your elderly, we all have a role to play in this.
Let’s overcome covid-19 and stupidity!
Edit: Supermarket near my house implemented a crowd control measure. Limiting the number of headcount allowable this morning.
Guess the outburst yielded some measures, just goes to show that shit needs to happen before measures are implemented.
This post isn't directed at anyone in particular, and isn't directed towards a specific group of people. I've also not seen many meta posts on this sub, so if this isn't allowed, my apologies. My intent is not to offend.
I've seen an unhelpful strain of advice-giving on this subreddit. A person in their 20s will ask for advice about how to navigate the baby decision, and some people will respond by telling them they're too young and they should just put the decision off. Usually this is followed up with an anecdote about how they made their decision much later in life, or how they didn't know how the world worked when they were in their 20s.
Y'all. Some people want to start thinking critically about their reproductive future sooner than others. Not everyone wants to wait until they're 39 to get sterilized or have kids. Others want to choose before they're 29. We should be encouraging people to work through the decision making process with themselves and their partners at any age, even if they don't come to a conclusion one way or the other.
It's totally fine to suggest that - in the instance they've reached a dead-end in their decision making process - they can put it on the backburner for a few years and return to it later if they're young. That's a great option, especially for young people who are really stressed about it. But dismissing people out-of-hand because they're in their 20s is really patronizing and unhelpful to future parents AND future childfree people.
EDIT: I think there's been some misunderstanding about the purpose of this post. I've bolded a sentence in the last paragraph that quite a few commenters are essentially restating.
Sorry if I sound heretophobic (I’m not) but was this kiss scene necessary? I know it looks harmless but I care for children and I don’t want them to be influenced by sexuality at such a young age. Especially one that’s part of the straight agenda. I’m sorry but no thank you.

I'm 25 and my parents constantly bug me about having children. I've been in a relationship for 3 years and even though we've been together for a while, I have absolutely no desire to have any children ever, and neither does my boyfriend. Friends and family tell me im too young to know if I want kids and its sooo annoying.
Im getting an ovarian cyst removed in February and im considering getting my tubes tied and my family is furious.
How do you deal with criticism? Any advice?
I still give them hugs before bed and kiss their foreheads before lights-out and tell them I love them. They reply the same to me.
I guess it has been mostly subconscious. I guess I've been giving them the love I never got from my parents. Mine were.. ok. Working middle class. And I know they loved me. But showing affection wasn't important to them. Showing that they loved me and supported me and would always be there for me, those things rarely occurred.
I can't imagine how I would have felt about myself and how I would have felt about us altogether. I wonder if I would have been able to like myself more.
I'm not sure exactly why I'm posting this. I guess to just say how different it could have been.
I started talking to this young woman last February (Feb 2018), I'll call her M, and at first things were very one-sided with me asking all of the questions, starting all of the conversations, and just trying anything to get her to talk to me in general. When she would respond, it would be in the form of either one-word answers or limited sentence responses. After several months of not giving up on her, she eventually came around and by about June of last year she started starting conversations with me, albeit they didn't last long, it was at least a start.
Before I continue, allow me to shed some background on M. M really loves art (drawing, painting, clay sculpting), Doctor Who, Pokémon, and reading. I really like the ladder three (especially Pokémon) and while I do like art, I'm not great at it. I would appeal to her likes during the months above (Feb-June, 2018) by drawing random Pokémon comics for her and writing jokes to her with little drawings on them. She would often smile and laugh and she has kept everything I've made. I know this because she recently told me. I'm also really into dinosaurs and M likes them, too. She drew me a picture last May of a dinosaur which I still have and since then she's drawn me several other things ranging from her cat, to various Pokémon, to a woman with her eyes closed and lips puckered to show that she's wanting a kiss.
M's birthday is in July and for her birthday I drew her a picture of her as a Pokémon trainer with several of her favorite Pokémon, including Jigglypuff for which her cat is named. I fully colored it and framed it and she hung it on her wall to which it still hangs today.
M's sister is one of my best friends (strictly platonic, we've never been romantic) and M would often hang out with me if her sister was present. Well, in late December M and I finally hung out outside of work together, without M's sister being there. It was great, fun, and wonderful and we both had a great time with each other. We've hung out alone several more times together since then and each time we've had a good time. We also still hang out together with her sister present.
Anyways, about a month and a half ago I finally came out and told her that I like her. I assumed she probably knew, but just in case she didn't, now she definitely does. I asked her how she felt, but she said that she wasn't sure. She's never had a boyfriend, she's never been kissed. Well, since then M has been a lot more affectionate towards me (more
