Yeah. So Tom showed me this, and then had to go on to explain to me it's some kind of Chuck E Cheese thing, I guess I'd never been to one when I was old enough to remember. But I think it's hilarious.

I've had dreams lately about my dad. Specifically ones where he excludes me for being a girl. Thinking about these made me remember one time when I was 11 or so and there were some boys (a few years older, but not much) over to help with some straw baling or something. And I was climbing everywhere, probably showing off, and found a raccoon in this corn bin. He didn't run away, which was weird, so I told my dad. He figured he was probably stuck in the auger at the bottom, and to get it out they were going to have to start the auger up. He then ordered me to go to the house, while all those boys got to stay. I was so angry about that. I still am, strangely enough. And no, I didn't WANT to stay and watch them beat that raccoon to death with a shovel. But I was going to CHOOSE to leave. He only kicked me out because I am a girl. Not because I am his daughter, not because I was a kid, but because I was a girl. And he still does things like that to this day. I don't know why I'm sounding so angry. I don't think my dad is a sexist or anything. It's just another side effect of growing up in nowhere, Indiana.
