From unbelievably sappy and corny to sick, these are all stories about children being careless and destructive or wasteful, only to get flown at by their nimrod parents, the end result being anything from the kid merely crying to all out dying and/or getting tortured, and then the screwball parent(s) discover the oh so touching message their bratty little darlings went through hell or high water just to try and convey "I love you Mommy/Daddy.".
Eckh!
Clobber clout pummel thrash mangle obliterate!
Thrash-o-rama!
This meme was posted on the Mystic Circles paganism Yahoogroup in 1999, and it is the glurge I referred to in my article, ^^^MemeKids101">Meme Kids 101.
It was a meme I got when I was still quite new to the net, but even back then it annoyed me.
To summarize, a mom comes home from shopping, only to find out from snitch older brother that little brother has just written on the new wallpaper while Dad was on the phone. In a blind rage, the spazzy woman yells at the little kid for a full ten minutes and stops off, only to find he had written "I love you Mommy" on the wall. Mommy, overcome by guilt and shame and all things wonderful and nice, went running to her youngest kid's room to hug, apologize and cry, which she did profusely.
Bleck! Nasty little kids who deliberately try their parents' patience, and an out of control mom who blows a thousand gaskets only to be hit with a wallop of a guilt trip later, and the dad is only mentioned as being occupied, since it wouldn't make sense other wise. After all, who would leave an 8-year-old home alone with his little brother? To top it off, it rhymes. Ugh!
😏Meme1: A weary mother returned from the store, Lugging groceries through the kitchen door.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: I remember getting this and wondering what the heck it had to do with the person sending the email. The answer? Nothing other than they got socked in the heart with this meme. In turn, they socked me in the inbox and ticked me off.
😏Meme1: Awaiting her arrival was her 8 year old son, Anxious to relate what his younger brother had done.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Yeah, I'll bet. This kid also wasn't like me - helping to unpack the groceries either. And ugh! A bad story - that rhymes!
😏Meme1: "While I was out playing and Dad was on a call, T.J. took his crayons and wrote on the wall! It's on the new paper you just hung in the den. I told
him you'd be mad at having to do it again."
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, seriously? Besides the annoying rhyming, some of us know you put him up to it, brat.
I can just see this scene unfolding
-
Brat: Psst! hey T.J.
T.J.: Yeah:
Brat: Go write on the wall in the den. Now while Dad isn't looking!
T.J. But I wanna play outside with you.
Brat: Not until you write on the wall.
T.J. What should I write?
Brat: I don't care, just whatever.
T.J. Okay.
Brat: I'm going out to play. *Steps out*
T.J. This is gonna be fun. Let's see, what should I write? something that'll really keep me from getting in trouble - OH, I KNOW! *Runs to the den and starts writing furiously in big bold letters, marking up the beautiful new wallpaper*
Brat: *Comes back inside after a few minutes, runs to the den, grinning to see T.J. actually did it, he taunts his little brother* Nya nya nya Mommy's gonna be mad!
T.J. Maybe, maybe not.
-
And that brings us right to the point where older brat brother smirkingly snitches on T.J. and the basket case of a mother just totally loses it.
😏Meme1: She let out a moan and furrowed her brow, "Where is your little brother
right now?"
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Iiickh! This thing burns!
😏Meme1: She emptied her arms and with a purposeful stride, She marched
to his closet where he had gone to hide.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Ugh, this is dreadful!
😏Meme1: She called his full name as she
entered his room.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: So what was his full name, then? I'm pretty sure T.J. had to be short for something.
😏Meme1: He trembled with fear--he knew that meant doom!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: And if he's smart, he'll tell her his older brother told him to do it.
😏Meme1: For the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved About the expensive wallpaper and how she had saved.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Rolling eyes* Oh, please. This is exactly what I mean in my article. adults just aren't that dumb. Little T.J.'s not going to have the slightest understanding of the concept of expensive and cheap, and what it means to work hard and save up to buy something really nice only to have it ruined. All he's gonna know is he's in deep ka-ka and that his brother made good and sure he would be.
😏Meme1: Lamenting all the work it would take to repair, She condemned his actions and total lack of care.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: "Condemned"? That's going way too far. Besides, it's not as if the walls never get washed anyway, how hard can it be taking the writing off the wall?
And older brother is just snickering to himself just outside the bedroom door, I'll bet.
😏Meme1: The more she scolded, the madder she got, Then stomped from his room, totally distraught!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Rolling eyes* This ditz is way too spazzed out over this stupid wall paper business.
😏Meme1: She headed for the den to confirm her fears. When she saw the wall, her eyes
flooded with tears.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Even as a relative net newb, I could see this coming.
😏Meme1: The message she read pierced her soul with a dart. It
said, "I love Mommy," surrounded by a heart.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Throws up*
😏Meme1: Well, the wallpaper remained, just as she found it, With an empty picture
frame hung to surround it.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Huh? A picture frame to surround the wallpaper - that must've been one gargantuan frame! Unless she took a regular sized one and just tacked it into the wall in just the right position to surround the bit of damage he eagerly did at his older brother's beckoning… TACKY!
😏Meme1: A reminder to her, and indeed to all,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Hey you! One size fits all reminders just don't work as we all need individual reminders for very different things in our lives!
😏Meme1: Take time to read the handwriting on the wall
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Yeah right…
😏Meme1: -------Author Unknown
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: The notorious great unknown writer, anonymous struck again.
So…Presumably, from then on, this particular little family lived happily ever after and knew everything about how to live life; and want you to do the same!

*BZZZZZZZT*-- Cut cut cut!!!
*Gong!*
REALITY CHECK:
First of all, what parent doesn't check out a snitch to be sure it's true before going ballistic? Imagine what a hayday the kids would have running the household if their parents believed everything they said about their siblings and acted on them.
Next, deliberately breaking the rules just to see what one can get away with and what sort of rise the children can get out of the parents is bratty, and undeserving of pity or excuse. "Don't write on the walls" means exactly that - "Don't write on the walls." It doesn't exempt "I LOVE YOU MOMMY"s, the content of what the kid writes would not get him off the hook, it might deservedly get him in deeper for trying to manipulate a parent.
In this story, the mother was just a little cardboard cut-out stand-in for whoever Anonymous wanted to lecture - you and me. Us. anonymous apparently sees us all as being potentially as he/he wrote this woman - a preoccupied flutter-budget with some rather serious emotional issues, and you are supposed to be so touched by the loving that radiates from that poor big-hearted little kid, even though he broke a rule. After all, rules are nothing, and intent is everything, especially when it comes to irresistably cute little kids, right?
Let's take a closer look at this.
both her kids knew exactly which buttons to push.
The little one knew he'd eventually get out of the doghouse once she saw what he had written, even though he had broken the rule. If he just wanted to touch his mommy's heart and show her what a good writer he was, surely there was a scrap of paper and pencil or crayon, or even a chalkboard in the house - he had no excuse to break the rule against writing on the wall. So you see, he's not so innocent and loving after all.
The older sibling put him up to it, knowing Mommy would get angry when he told her about the writing on the wall.
So, in this story, the mother is a busy loose cannon, and the kids are manipulative little brats.
Self-help books have retold it, someone in the Australian parliament retold it into the record in 2001.
But it doesn't glitter.
To summarize:
An angelic little girl is a terrible gift-wrapper and she wastes boxes and paper trying to wrap up blown kisses for her angry father, who doesn't appreciate it and puts her in tears. She explains tearfully, he gets all guilty for his anger. Then she dies, and he holds on to the empty box full of blown kisses for years.
🙃Meme2: It's said that we have a choice to make. I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: I'll pick my own turns in my own time, and not arbitrarily make 'choices' when you tell me to. As for what you choose, well… Starting/sending smarmy chain letters? Honestly, I'm getting quite fed up with you chain freaks and your overuse of the word 'choice' which, when wielded by the likes of you, is not intended to give anyone a choice at all.
🙃Meme2: The story goes that some time ago,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Which could be 10 months ago, or 10 years… I'm favouring 10 years.
🙃Meme2: a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Well, dummy, you don't just give a whole roll of wrapping paper to a child that age and leave her to it. You sit with her and you supervise…
🙃Meme2: Money was tight and he became even more upset when the child pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Look, man, I don't care about your financial situation, being broke doesn't mean you don't watch your kids to make sure they aren't wasting things. The smart thing would've been to help her wrap the box. Heck, I certainly didn't know how to wrap presents at age 5…
🙃Meme2: Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: As the paint dries on the floor over here and the plot goes nowhere fast…
🙃Meme2: The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: And he should be… But does he learn from it and not do that again. No, of course not!
🙃Meme2: but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Well, twit, your kid is just 5, what did you expect her to put in the box for you, a doll?
🙃Meme2: He spoke to her in a harsh manner: "Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Since this whole thing is just a dress rehearsal anyway, YOU, man, were supposed to be helping her out. Why you didn't, I can't figure out and don't much care. Get a grip… What's wrong with a little pretending it's a real present even though you and she both know there's nothing in the box?
🙃Meme2: The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, of course, don't forget to make it amply known that this girl is so totally crushed that she's reduced to tears - I know what you're up to and I don't like you…
🙃Meme2: and said: "Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full."
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Urgh. Remind me not to eat a full meal before smashing this type of chain. Stomach is beginning to rebel.
Talk about sappy, though I can see a little kid doing something like that.
Okay, kid, how to break this to you - blown kisses, however well you mean them would have a better chance at filling a balloon than a non-air-tight gift box. Next time just blow a few kisses to him and let him see you do it. You can't see blown kisses in a box, or even a balloon for that matter, so unless you tell us beforehand what you did, anyone is going to see the box as being empty - which, kid, it is…
🙃Meme2: The father was crushed.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh now it's his turn, once again, another blockheaded adult laid low by a little kid. yeah right, little girl, you're not really this innocent are you? You knew exactly what you were doing, including those crocodile tears right on cue, and that kisses explanation? Gaggage…
🙃Meme2: He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Gah, talk about unhinged. This is so cartoonish, really… It's doubtful the little girl understood a bit of what was going on with him. First he's mad, then suddenly he's so sad, if I was a 5-year-old, I'd be confused and a bit frightened. this little girl's still got the simple mindset that tells her you can keep kisses in a box, so how in the world is she going to get this forgiveness stuff? She probably doesn't even understand what she said that made her angry father suddenly gush.
🙃Meme2: An accident took the life of the child only a short time later
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Irritated expression* What's that got to do with the nothing gift situation? I suppose you want me to think that if only, if only, if only that father had simply let his little girl run around wrecking everything in the house and covering it all over with blown kisses without saying a single thing about it except in high praise, that accident, whatever it was, never would've happened and the poor little kiss girl wouldn't have lost her life. Please. You didn't even say what kind of accident it was. Just, *plunk* sudden random sad plot twist to up the heart-yank.
I'm not crying.
🙃Meme2: and it is told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Yeah, um, we all hold on to things we want to remember. That's humanity for you. You still didn't make me cry or want to pass on this chain.
🙃Meme2: In a very real sense,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: which has nothing to do with this glurge.
🙃Meme2: each of us as humans, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, friends, family, and especially our CREATOR.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: You're wrong there. We haven't been given merely a gold container of this unconditional love, we've been given an infinity of it…
🙃Meme2: There is no more precious possession anyone could hold than that wonderful gold box of ours.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Well, sometimes a bit of that love does come in a beautiful gold box, or any other color, or clear, it all depends. It actually comes outside the box, really, gift-giving is just the end result of showing love. But there is no love in this chain, or for this chain on my part.
This one takes a much darker turn of events and then some.
😼Meme3: A child says to his mom'
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh yay… *Rolling eyes*
😼Meme3: "mommy I colored your sheets with lipstick"
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: I just don't get this. He's obviously old enough to talk, and yet he still gets into her stuff? Seems to me this woman needs to keep her cosmetics and toiletries safely out of access by this kid. Putting them high on a shelf, shutting them in her purse, putting the purse somewhere he doesn't normally frequent.
And of all the things he chose to draw on, he thought it would be a hoot to lipstick up the sheets? Why? Just, why?
And when I was a kid, I didn't just go around rummaging in people's stuff and trying to wreck it. "Don't touch that" was not just something that was said. if you took someone else's things without permission, and especially if you were careless and wrecked them, the end result was you getting something of yours taken away from you for a period of time.
😼Meme3: furious she beat her child until unconscious.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh sure, and I'll bet the lipstick read "I love you Mommy" too. *Rolling eyes* never happened.
😼Meme3: Regretting what she had done, and in tears, she asked the child to "open your eyes" but it was too late.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Right, he croaked… Pardon me if my heart doesn't bleed at this sappy monstrous lie. if a mother killed her child over lipstick sheets, you can be sure it would've been all over the news, complete with names and ages of mother and child, and the time it happened.
😼Meme3: His little heart
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, right, absolutely must be sure to amp up the sap with 'his little heart' to get readers' big hearts bursting with sorrow for this nonexistent little kid beaten by his nonexistent stupid violent crackpot broad of a guardian (I will not refer to her as a parent.)
Not moving me.
😼Meme3: had stopped beating.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: how can it stop when it never beat to begin with?
😼Meme3: In the bedroom the sheets ..read, "MOMMY I LOVE YOU".
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: BINGO! *Rolling eyes* There, you see? An FB mutation of The Writing On The Wall glurge, only minus the older brother, and with the addition of a beating, I guess the original nineties version didn't tear-jerk enough people into spamming up the net with copies, so it got revamped into this lousy FB status.
😼Meme3: Post this as your status for an hour to deliver the message to STOP CHILD ABUSE
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: No. Not for even a second. Slactivism does nothing to stop real child abuse. There are agencies for that anyway. All this hoax does is needlessly clutter up the net with depressing junk that unnecessarily saddens and irritates people.
Even more galling, a picture of a real child was ripped off a news article to be put in this stupid hoax. Jade Wardle's injuries were not the result of child abuse, she was attacked by a vicious dog. she did not draw on her parents sheets with lipstick and did not get beaten to death by a mad mom or a drunken dad in the ^^^Scummy/MistySarahChrisChildAbuseHoax.html">Misty Sarah Chris poem by Misty Nichole Ramsey.
Using a real child's pic in this kind of hoax is mean-spirited and evil! Read why all such hoaxes need to be throttled hard, ^^^Articles/WhyMangleMemes.html">here.
This one comes in at least three mutations, the first being a 1986 hoax print article, the others are internet chain letters derived from it and the "I Love You Moddy/Dommy - "ewps, i mean "Mommy/Daddy" thing.
Aaaaagh!
🙎Meme4: Currently
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: 1986 was ages ago…
🙎Meme4: there is a six year old little girl in primary Children's Hospital with no hands.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: I have no idea if there was or will be a six year old matching that description in a hospital with that name, but from 1986 until now is a very long time to be 6. Your story is crap.
🙎Meme4: She apparently took a hammer to the family car and to punish her father took the same hammer to her hands.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Bull! You are a disgusting individual to make up something like that and try passing it off as real!
🙎Meme4: By the time they got her to the hospital she had lost two fingers (they fell off)
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Bull…crap…Bull…Crap…Bull…Crap…
🙎Meme4: and then her blood vessels, bone and nerves were so badly damaged that they had to amputate both hands.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Balderdash. Poppycock. Codswallop.
I mean, what kid is just gonna sit there and let him hammer her hands?
when I was in the hospital as a 6-year-old BTW, for eye surgery, it took about six nurses to restrain me just to give me a blood test. I'd had more than enough needles by then and just couldn't take any more.
So if I could fight like that against getting a blood test, you can bet your boots and the shirt off your back any kid is going to fight like blue blazes in the face of getting hammered and restraint would take a considerable effort on the part of several adults.
🙎Meme4: The mother will not press charges because "he was in charge of discipline,"
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: which would make her a complete deranged idiot, a spineless cowering slave to her husband, no personality, just too stupid to exist, or have the right to exist as a mother anyway.
🙎Meme4: and the hospital is being forced to return this child to these two crazy people.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Bollox. No such thing has happened…
🙎Meme4: For God's sake,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Cut the blaspheming.
🙎Meme4: can't the media do something.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Can't you get some kind of a life? You should be ashamed of yourself for starting this hoax!
But you won't be. You're proud of it. You're a troll!
---------------------
🙎♂️Meme6: Used vs. Loved
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Rolling eyes* Used is when you get meme crapola inflicted on you by people who got too caught up in the initial rush of emotion overdrive to think instead of forward/repost/share/like something that is just using them to get mass-reproduced, spammed all over the net.
Loved is when you get real notes personally written by your friends…
There, that should clear it up.
😡Meme5: It is difficult to love a person, especially when you don't know how to express your feelings.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Wrong. You can still love someone without letting your feelings show. When it's difficult to love a person is when that person really is difficult to love, like when they're ride and mean-spirited.
😡Meme5: Worst still, if you are unsure of the person's feelings, the uncertainty can really tear you apart...
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: And your point is, what, exactly?
😡Meme5: This is a true story that happened in the States.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Wrong! It never happened anywhere.
People, be aware that any viral that screams "This is a TRUE story" is more than likely to be anything but, or what little truth it might contain has been distorted and stretched in order to advance some ideology or agenda, or at least to get you spreading that chain!
🙎♂️Meme6: While
😡🙎♂️Memes5&6: a man
😡Meme5: came out of his home to admire
🙎♂️Meme6: was polishing
😡🙎♂️Memes5&6: his new
😡Meme5: truck.
🙎♂️Meme6: car,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: wow, admiring one vehicle while managing to polish the other, now that's what I call multitasking! *Sneer*
😡Meme5: To his puzzlement,
😡🙎♂️Memes5&6: his
😡Meme5: 3-year-old
🙎♂️Meme6: 4 yr old
😡🙎♂️Memes5&6: son
😡Meme5: was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint.
🙎♂️Meme6: picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of his car.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: What in heck - how did this kid get his hands on a hammer? And why should the father be puzzled? Three/year-olds sometimes get rough with things, especially when they are trying to pretend to be working on a car. The dad should've realized he should keep his tools out of reach so the boy doesn't hurt himself. Stupid! Can't do much about the stones though, other than telling the boy to leave them where he found them...
🙎♂️Meme6: In anger,
😡🙎♂️Memes5&6: the man
😡Meme5: ran to his son, knocked his away, and hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment.
🙎♂️Meme6: took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Bull! and tasteless! *Scowl*
if that had happened, it would have been all over the news, with names, dates, time and where it happened. anyway, not even a three-year-old is just gonna sit there and let his hands get hammered. I explained why in the other hammered hand hoax, apply it here as well.
😡Meme5: When the father calmed down,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: what are you kidding? he just calmed down like that, like hammering his kid was just all in a day's work, totally normal routine for him - right, and I'm Madonna.
😡Meme5: he rushed his son to the hospital.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Wait, what? "Help me doctor help me! I just mistook my son's hands for a nail!" Oh, sure…
🙎♂️Meme6: At the hospital,
😡Meme5: Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers both from the boy's hands.
🙎♂️Meme6: the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: And the grow really big water melons on Jupiter too… *Whack* oops, sorry you rotten excuse of a man, I thought your head was a melon… Nope, not sorry.
It never happened. But if it had, anyone who would abuse another person like that isn't fit to live!
😡Meme5: When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged stubs,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Rolling eyes* Forget it, you're not squeezing a tear out of me. Ticks me off though, that people are so eager to send around this outrageous, depressing junk. I don't even like fictional stories about child abuse there's too much of that going on for real. and I mean, there should be none…! But sending this junk isn't going to do anything about it.
🙎♂️Meme6: When the child saw his father..... with painful eyes said,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, sure, the whole painful eyes jag, whatever would we do without those oh so painful eyes? Just milk it for all it's worth…which is zip. Still no tears from me… *Scowl*
😡Meme5: "Daddy,
🙎♂️Meme6: 'Dad
😡Meme5: I'm sorry about your truck, but
Chains5&6: when
🙎♂️Meme6: will
😡Meme5: are
😡🙎♂️Memes5&6: my fingers
😡Meme5: going to
😡🙎♂️Memes5&6: grow back?"'
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Vomits* Again, why on earth do people enjoy forwarding this depressing and infuriating schlock?
🙎♂️Meme6: The man was so hurt and speechless;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Jeering* So this is only hitting him now? What an idiot!
🙎♂️Meme6: he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Sneer* As if that would make it all better, as if this whole thing was the fault of the car - what a FREAKING MORON! Imbecile!
🙎♂️Meme6: Devastated by his own actions.....
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: he should be! *Unsympathetic stare*
🙎♂️Meme6: sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Assuming they are even visible after all those kicks…
🙎♂️Meme6: the child had written
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: O…M…R…F…G! Let me guess. "I love you daddy" that's apparently all these chain kids ever write whenever they're trying to damage their parents' stuff. Anyway, this is hooey. This kid's only four. He doesn't know how to write yet, let alone write it in stone, so to speak. good gosh, just what morons do you hoaxers think the rest of the human race is?
Anyway, all the more reason not to let the likely tidal wave of sadness and outrage get the best of you and cloud your thinking when you get a hoax like this. it's best to look for reasons why it is impossible rather than forward it just in case.
🙎♂️Meme6: 'I LOVE YOU DAD.'
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Facepalm* Aaaaaaaaagh! What did I tell ya? Huh? I just knew it!
😡Meme5: The father went home and
🙎♂️Meme6: The next day that man
😡🙎♂️Memes5&6: comitted suicide.....
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Well good riddance to bad rubbish! Excuse me for not shedding any tears. and there are two 'm's in 'committed'.
&&&
😡Meme5: Think about the story next time you see someone spill milk at a dinner table or hear a baby crying.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, for the love!
Look, I don't flip out over spilled milk. My reaction to the sound of a baby cry depends on how hard and how sad it sounds. A very tiny baby from newborn to a couple months or so, you know, in the first faze of infancy is going to make me smile unless it's an apparent serious distress sound. Babies who are a bit older tend to start sounding sadder, which makes me cringe in empathy. Little kids - well, again, if they're crying out of distress from being hurt, I absolutely cringe. if they're just throwing a tantrum, yes, I get annoyed. But you know what? that's perfectly normal, and all right! I am definitely not going to think of this awful story every time a drink spills or a baby cries! So stop trying to be the thought police...
😡Meme5: Think first before you lose patience with someone you love.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: what, lest I take a hammer and/or saw to them like some crazy Freddy Kreueger wanna-be? Oh, please! Give me and the other readers a lot more credit than that, you patronizing, pontificating, condescending, odious jerk!
😡Meme5: Trucks can be repaired.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: But hammered hands can't, holes in kids' hearts can't, suiciding beater dads can't, blahblahblahblahblahblah I know, shut up already.
And you're wrong. Ram a train into a truck, and that truck will not be fixable…
😡Meme5: Broken bones and feelings often can't.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Yawn* So predictable again. Look, doofus, I wasn't born yesterday. I have lived a little, and I know a bit about broken and hurt bones and feelings. I just don't understand why adults are so in love with this simple-minded kruft that, except for the violent content in this case, is fit for a class of first-graders. Why does Anonymous continue getting away with patronizing everybody whereas if some real person actually stood up and talked to their fellow adults this way, they'd more than likely never get invited back to the next party or gathering again.
😡Meme5: Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the preformance.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Scowl* Wrong, and it's 'performance'.
Hammering dents in a car is not a performance anyway, and your insinuating that people getting a little taken aback when milk spills or babies cry is the same thing as a deranged guardian taking a hammer to his kid is insulting beyond the pale! Shame on you! You have just offended. I guess that makes you the same as your rotten hammer man, now, eh? Yeah, don't pull that crap on me!
😡Meme5: People make mistakes.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: No, DUH! Your IQ must be soaring off the charts to have actually managed to figure *that* out! yeah, nimrod, nobody needs cheesy chain letters filled with rotten stories and bad judgement calls telling them that!
😡Meme5: We are allowed to make mistakes.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, brother! The obviousness! This chain is making my screen bleed!
🙃Meme2: But the actions we take while in rage will haunt us forever.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: No they won't, because some of us know how to let our rage out constructively, and, there are people who do things out of rage who clearly aren't haunted by their actions. Terrorists. Need I say more?
Oh yeah, apparently I do, since you're such a dense drip at understanding human nature and determining what is normal and what is not.
Terrorists and your fictitious daddy Chucky-wanna-be are not normal examples of human behaviour in any sense of the word!
🙎♂️Meme6: Anger and Love have no limits;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: neither does any other human emotion, doofus!
🙎♂️Meme6: choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.....
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Look, you sanctimoniouss cretin, people don't 'choose' their feelings! You're angry or you're not. You love someone or you don't. and I'm sure as heck not feeling the love when I hear about things that make me angry, like torture, and hoaxes about torture. I'll love when I love, and I'll get angry when i get angry. deal with it.
🙎♂️Meme6: Things are to be used and people are to be loved,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Well no crap, genius! Just what's that even got to do with your horrible hoax story anyway? if people are to be loved and not used, why did you violate your own lecture by starting this stupid chain letter, trying to use everyone on the internet with a vicious heart-yank to get them spamming it all over the place? Hypocrite!
🙃Meme2: But the problem in today's world is
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Yeah I know, I know, that things are 'loved' and people get 'used' well you know something? That isn't just "today's world" as you put it. So cut the "Things was so durn murch bettah aways beck in da good ol' days!" whinge!
I've seen more than my share of that ^^^Lists/InTheGoodOldDays.html">crapola.
I'm not buying' it!
🙎♂️Meme6: that, People are used
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Facepalm* Argh!
🙎♂️Meme6: and things are loved...
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, for goodness sake SHUT IT!
🙎♂️Meme6: During the day, be careful to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but People are to be loved ...
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: And think the reverse at night, I suppose? Yeah, sure, that'd work out dandy. *Sarcasmeter off the map*
🙎♂️Meme6: Be yourself.....
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: yeah, and part of being me is doing what I can to try putting a kibosh into schemes like yours.
🙎♂️Meme6: This is the only day we HAVE.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: No! We have every day we live the rest of our lives. you probably meant we can only live one day at a time… again, hardly rocket science.
🙎♂️Meme6: Have a nice day.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Cough, cough* Excuse me for not reciprocating… You hand me this big pile of downer crap and then a bunch of sanctimonious drivel, and then you have the nerve to glibly wish me a nice day - you are too much!
🙎♂️Meme6: Have a nice day
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: You already said that. You want a reply? Okay, here goes:
Have a rotten day!
🙎♂️Meme6: Watch your thoughts;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Hey bonehead! You're the one starting hoaxes, apply that a bit closer to home!
And how can you watch thoughts anyway? they're not little bits of swirling colour and light that spin out of our heads like spider webs whenever we think… and that's a pretty good thing, too. Otherwise, the world would be all messed up with everybody tripping all over their own thoughts and getting tangled up in everyone else's.
🙃Meme2: they become words.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Only sometimes, definitely not all the time. Otherwise there could be a bunch of people just continually saying all kinds of random stuff for no apparent reason. You could be sitting at the funeral of your child-mutilating man and somebody else who just can't keep their mind on it could be day thinking about his next meal and just yell out "Turkey!"
🙎♂️Meme6: Watch your words;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: See above about thoughts. Same thing… And don't give me the big tired old lecture about thoughts into words into actions into reactions into consequences into more reactions back into actions and full endless circle of whatever until the world ends…Blah.
🙎♂️Meme6: they become actions.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Facepalm! No actually, in this case, the action turns into words as this chain-smash gets written…
🙎♂️Meme6: Watch your actions;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Headdesk* aaaaaagh! Put a freaking boot in it already!
🙎♂️Meme6: they become habits.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Not always, in fact, not even usually! Actions that look habitual are things you have to do to live, like breathe, eat, drink, get around etc. and there are actions that do become habit but are a good thing. how are you going to learn anything if you don't commit anything to memory by habitual repetition so you can do it again when you need to? And don't do the "Watch your habits" thing because you will get punched!
🙎♂️Meme6: Watch your habits
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *PUNCH!*
🙎♂️Meme6: they become character;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Which is a good thing or we'd all be nothing but vegetables… and if you do the same old thing with character, you'll be watching your back!
🙎♂️Meme6: watch your character;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Tosses shoe at hoaxer* Can it!
🙎♂️Meme6: it becomes your destiny.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: So? now I suppose you'll tell me to watch my destiny because it'll become something else. *Rolling eyes*
🙎♂️Meme6: I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder..
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: oh you have got to be kidding me! *Rolling eyes*
🙎♂️Meme6: If you don't pass this on to anybody,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Which you really wish I would… I won't have put an unnecessary stresser on someone's internet time.
🙎♂️Meme6: nothing bad will happen;
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Duh no kidding! In fact, something good would happen by this thing completely dying out, never to recirculate and get new mutations again.
🙎♂️Meme6: if you do, you will have
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Unnecessarily stressed and likely annoyed the heck out of somebody and made an obnoxious drip of myself…
🙎♂️Meme6: ministered to someone.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: WRONG! I would've only shown I was played like a stringed instrument and that I knew how to spread chain letters.
🙎♂️Meme6: Have YOU become a user and do not recognize love?
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, for the love! *Scowl* Apply that a heck of a lot closer to home, pal!
🙎♂️Meme6: Have YOU missed the oppertunity to apologize for your thoughtlessness.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Incredulous hiss, eyes rolling wildly* See the freaking above! and if I had thoughtlessly given into you and spread your chain letter, no doubt I would have some apologizing to do to the recipients!
🙎♂️Meme6: Stay FATEFUL and Be GRATEFUL
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Oh, knock it off! *Throws rotten potatoes at hoaxer* Beat it! And no, I don't mean a child! Just - GET LOST!
OVER - And - OUT!
