The one where we're reminded that Lindy spent her teen years lamenting not having the body and the language.

That's kind of why they're on the outside looking in: if a Patterson can't find a reason to feel picked on, they'll create it:





Since Liz thinks like the narcissistic weirdo with a persecution complex who created her, she has to think that the braying jackass who delights in hurting feelings is the only honest person. Daddy says that all the time so it must be true.

Isn't it kind of inappropriate for a teacher to compliment a kid's looks? I'm not objecting to a teacher telling a kid they did good work on something but it looks unprofessional for teachers to talk to a kid about their looks, whether the comment is positive or negative.

Lynn wanted to be complimented by all comers. Social norms that get in the way of non-stop praise is bad.

I teach at an Orthodox Jewish School so I haven't commented on a student's looks in 30 years, but I think it's pretty good advice in all schools to keep compliments related to quality of work and work ethic. When I meet up with other teachers to score AP essays every year, I'm astonished at how many have their students as Facebook "friends," follow them on Tiktok, etc. Maybe I'm more sheltered than most but I didn't need to be advised NOT to follow kids or allow kids to follow me on the media of socials.

also, Liz's arms aren't broken, why can't she brush her own damn hair?
