This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anything expensive, a kid should earn. No way to appreciate value otherwise. First car? Kid has to earn it. Doesn't matter if it's a sweetheart 0% interest loan - they need to make payments.

This is why I give my children a bill for the past year on each birthday, starting from their first. Those deadbeat ingrates still owe me hundreds of thousands.

I have a friend who eventually had to go no contact with his parents because of his abusing mom. She then started trying to harass him with what looked like lawsuits to make him pay back all the money they’d spent on him over the years. Still had receipts from the Chick-fil-A they bought him for lunch when they moved him into college a decade earlier, things like that.

This is your brain on Chick-Fil-A.

What I never got about that chain is why a Christian fundamentalist fast food chain has a name that is essentially a sexual innuendo.

........ok, I'm the most giggly at even the most obscure sexual references. You can't even talk about putting things in a box without me mentally giggling.

That being said....what's the innuendo?

Ha ha! In you end-o! It's buttsex!

That's what they get for hiring the first parents who ask for the job.
