Everybody wins today.

(North Point Mall. Around noon. A beauty pageant for children aged 1 to I’m just not sure. The kid on stage, he’s a one-year old winner. After I took the photo, I heard the cheery announcer-lady sing-songing in his general direction. “Great job! We look forward to seeing you again at state!” Not sure if little Mr Big Winner share that sentiment, ma’am, as I think I just saw him celebrating his win by bawling plaintively into his mother’s kneecap.)

    when are these people gonna learn that their children are actual human beings and not performing monkeys?

    As soon as they stop having them becuase of some nebulous feeling that maybe they should, or that they’re expected to, as if it’s getting a job or paying rent, rather than because they actually want children.
