Oh I KNEW your figures would be awesome. I want to try again π€£
Man that headwind! Killer. That sunburn looks nasty. Aspirin and Aloe vera! We usually get burnt only a couple of times in our lifetime and after that we learn π€£ Sounds like it couldn't be avoided
Sounds like your son doesn't feel seen at school. That sucks. A different experience would likely have him enjoy it more. It's hard being a Dad and worrying they are okay.
I liked your figures. It reminded me of classic computer sketches. I usually avoided the sun and forgot about the pain of sunburns I had when I was ten years old. We both got burned. His skin was a lot more resilient than mine.
I'm glad for the challenge this weekend because it's the first time I drew anything since I tried out the AI drawings. I was glad to see others with their stick figures and got a few laughs. We are going to beat AI because AI can't fake imperfection.
We are awesome!!
My son is special. His brother loved the school and sometimes visits to make sure everything is OK. The younger brother just has a difficult time with things. I was at the doctor with my older son. He is bigger than me and the nurse thought he was a foreigner because he was white. It was the first time he came to that doctor. He gave her the correct information to register but she kept trying to register him as a foreigner. He told her three times that he is not a foreigner and three times she asked him to show him his green card. He said, "I was born in Seoul! I am a Korean citizen!" She said, "Show me your green card. These numbers are not working out. How do you spell your name?" She gave the numbers to her supervisor who gave the numbers to her supervisor who gave the numbers to the head of inputting numbers for patients. He said, "Nothing wrong here." And then my son's name was up on the waiting list. The girl who took his numbers in the beginning was very embarrassed that she assumed the boy was a foreigner even though he told her three times that he wasn't.
People get nervous and have assumptions in their head that because someone looks like this that they should act like this, but nothing really works like that. When people ask me a question and I answer they have a hard time to listen because they are expecting me to speak English. My Korean is fine, but because I have blue eyes they are trying to listen to an English word and can't hear what I say. My son has the same problem. He looks just like me, but a little more tan and not sun burnt. Maybe inside Korea is still the Hermit country.
Personally I respond to discrimination by waiting for the truth to reveal itself. I could make a fuss and insist on my own way and call people out, but I am no match for the world's greatest teacher, the truth. When it dawns on them they are just "taught".
