I did that once, I was staying at a family as an exchange student and immediately forced to help with chores. Now, they ran a large creche from that house so there were a lot of different chores and being on dishes could mean slaving away in the kitchen for well over an hour.

Anyway, I didn't know shit about how to properly dispose of oil and in the first or second week poured a large pan of oil down the drain. It ended up ruining some stuff and they had a hefty repair bill. I may be cynical, but I never gave a damn about it as they were basically using me as free labor anyway. Helping with household chores = ok. Helping clean up the gigantic daily mess of those shitty kids in your shitty creche = not ok

creche
noun
Alternative form of crèche.

Isn't a crèche that thing Lae'zel kept yapping on about in Baldur's Gate?

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes because githyanki are egg laying bat faced people

...wow...how did I not make that connection.

Proof that my brain is smoother than that Githyanki egg I accidentally destroyed.

I gave mine to the friendly lady out front. I'm sure it turned out well

It's ok! The writers could have picked something irrelevant, you just got unlucky.

Yes, you go there and steal an egg
