why i'm terrified of letting my son go to school:
this retake on calvin and hobbes
well, they didn't quite get me, so he'll probably survive, too. but i've spent years trying to get that back and it still only seems a shred of how i remember the world i lived in as a child.
like my parents, there's no way a child of mine's gonna' get stuck on that crap. still, the pills are just a symptom of the larger social expectations of what a "good child" is. i tried to be that and all it got me was the sense that my spirit was suffocating further day by day.
and for comparison and a little cheer...
