My biggest trivial parental annoyance is all the little crappy shitbags of detritus that everyone gives kids for every occasion that stands out like a goose pimple on the skin of ordinary life, and this crap shit inevitably goes straight into the trash because the thrill is getting it, not keeping it. What a colossal waste of resources.

Altogether, it’s not trivial. This planet is drowning in trash, and choking on the damage that producing it causes. 🤬

@Fritillaria2 challenge - collect enough of it until it's substantial enough to make an impact, then take it to the next parental get-together and empty it onto a table somewhere. lol
