Went to my brother's for lunch today. To set the scene the last few days have been pretty crappy so I wasn't in the mood for BS. Nephew, his American wife & kid arrived from the US not long ago. For reasons that will become obvious I'll refer to them as Harry, Megan & Archie /2
To start off, I gave Archie a toy Porsche for Chrissie. His g-father picked it up to have a look. Archie threw a fit & snatched it off my brother. Me "oi, I'll take that present off you". Well that went down like the preverbial with Harry & Megan. That was the 1st 15 minutes. /3
Archie made a paper snake to frighten me. I told him that if he ever sees a snake to turn around & quietly walk away & that he shouldn't go anywhere near one. I had no idea what I'd said wrong until when we were eating lunch someone pointed to a spider on the pergola. /4
Apparently, you're not allowed to say anything negative about spiders or snakes bcos Harry & Megan are encouraging Archie to 'unite' with nature. Has Harry forgotted that THIS IS AUSTRALIA, SPIDERS AND SNAKES CAN BITE & POISON YOU! Teach your kid not to touch them especially /5
ones with cute red stripes. Anyway, I'm a bad person
apparently. Now this one's the doozy of all doozies. Archie was showing me his Lego manual & pointing to the characters "this is a robber & that's the police, see he's got hand cuffs. I'm not allowed to say handcuffs". /6

I asked why. Archie replied "Mum says the police are bad ppl". My niece is standing nearby so I said loudly enough for her to hear "But your aunt's a police officer". Archie said that his mum says she's alright. Generous ! Now to cap all this off, I'll let you in on something. /7
Archie starts school soon. It's only in recent months that he's been allowed to call himself a boy. He's been a 'they' since birth & dressed as both girl & boy. My Harry & Megan could give the Queen's Harry & Megan lessons in wokeness. Oh what a fun day it's been .
