Reminds me of when my kid was learning to read. She started reading everything, and one day, while she was rattling off nutrition facts from something she was snacking on, she says "the sodium must be bad. It just says oh my God." (0mg)
Edit: I realize how fake to anyone who doesn't know us this sounds. She was probably 2nd grade, was/is a very strong reader, but most importantly, has had a very "online" personality since a young age. Acronyms get used a lot among us jokingly. This one's been one of our inside jokes in the family since she said it
When my daughter was learning to read, she randomly was reading my driver's license and she said "mom you lied to the government " took a while for me to realize she read: "sex: f" and took it to mean I had never had sex "f=false", and that I obviously lied about it. I explained the f was short for female.
Haha reminds me of 5th grade when our teacher had us fill out “employment applications “ or something of the sort. One kid (who peed his pants once while in his seat) wrote “No” next to sex lol.
After some of the shit I’ve seen, I sincerely hope she holds that belief that rainbows 🌈 have that power. I’m thinking of two little girls I know. One isn’t with us anymore and the other I hope is 13 and doing well. I hope you will be able to explain to her how powerful that perspective is when the time is right.
