I'm always amazed at what my daughters say, has been said to them...here are a few, rearranged a little for the rhyme. Come on, "you can't say that"
*
What's wrong with you
why did you wear that
You breath smells like poo
you should take a bath
Do you sniff glue
what's with that hat
Why's your hair blue
are you getting fat
Another tattoo
what's up with that?!
To tell you the truth
I could give a rat's ass
If you want me to move
don't bother, don't ask
You and your kind
(as they are shaking their heads)
will be the end of us all
I'd like to press rewind
and go back, before the fall
Before it was distorted
you've made this world a mess
and ruined us all, (he snorted)
look what you've done to our US
our future's gone to heck

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

People can be so rude
Clever piece!
Good and bad memories of these phrases I have and heard most of them. Good job.
I can hear my mother saying it --- 'you can't say that' --- thankyou for sharing xx
I like how this seems to go from little girls to growing girls to adults dealing with today's world. A little humour and a little reality check. Well done!
