Hello! I’m Holly and I like to write. My blog is personal but I use it for writeblr as well. I write fanfic on AO3 as heymacareyna; I publish romance as Ivy L. James and erotica as Aurora Blackwood.
Lying to children is fun when they know you are being ridiculous. When you hold up a carrot like “guys look at this huge Cheeto” and they all scream “NOOOOOOOOO that’s a CARE-OTT!”
“What? No, it’s my giant Cheeto.”
“NOOOOOOO!”
When I was a camp counselor a fellow counselor claimed that any silly camp song we sang was “his next hit single” and we should all follow him on SoundCloud and he stuck by this daily and it never ceased to amuse both the adults and the children.
When children are small and learning to count and you say the numbers out of order? Peak comedy.
“How many toys are there? Let’s see… oneeee, twooo, six!”
“NO! One two three!”
“What? Are you sure? Let me try again. One, two… six?”
“Noooooo!”
Once reduced a toddler into a fit of giggles by singing “A B C D E F Q.”
Hopping in to add: this also works for teens and adults when they’re learning a new language.
I taught English as foreign language to adults for around 15 years. With beginners, once I was sure they knew the basic vocabulary (table, chair, desk, wall, floor, ceiling, door, window, pen, pencil, eraser, lights), I would go around the room like:
Me [pointing at the wall]: it’s a table.
Adults: Noooo, it’s a wall!
Me [looking confused, pointing more vehemently at the wall]: Table!
Adults: NOOOOO, wall!!!
Like, I had literal company executives, who went to class in full suits, giggling like school children with what has to be the silliest game ever.
We’re all children when we’re learning a new language XD.
Hi Elon: please add a decreasing counter bar in the corner of the screen so I know how many posts left I can view. Because having a health bar on twitter would be the only funny thing you can do right now
Well… not exactly– because that would imply Addison has a girlfriend, despite being totally straight™.
Mary is just a friend. A really hot friend who is a good kisser and has a very, very soft bed. Cyrus is probably the actual crush, being a guy and all. That would make the most sense…
One time a DM let me play a Venom inspired character where I played the host and my long distance girlfriend played the symbiotic alien. How we did this was set up a discord call where she could hear everything said at the table but I had one head phone in my ear and only I could hear what she was saying and if I wanted to respond I had to speak out loud.
