As I frantically attempt to maintain some integrity as a student, I feel compelled to share with you the strange thoughts I have when asked to do the simplest of things.
A teeny weeny newborn baby? I do not wish to hold it. At all.
No I am not a child-hater or one of those people that complains too much about how annoying children are.
…Because I simply do not wish to hold them; they’re tiny. Put them down somewhere. See now they’re safe. Safe from my irresponsible arms.

Thoughts on Captain Marvel
Walking in to Captain Marvel I had a few key expectations: 1) To learn about this character and see her necessity in Avengers: Endgame 2) To be entertained As someone who does not watch movie trailers, and generally avoids film reviews, I was amazed that all the other expectations of this film still managed to… Read more
The Lazy Slinky 
Woah dude, that’s pretty clumsy. Be careful about holding Ming Vase’s or armed grenades too. I don’t like holding babies myself; I share your anxiety.
