[personal profile] projectmothra has a toy owl, named One Hundred Zen Bloom, who goes everywhere with him. One Hundred likes to do everything [personal profile] projectmothra does, of course. And since [personal profile] projectmothra cuddles his toy owl at night to sleep, One Hundred needed a toy owl to cuddle too. So out came the felt and the fiberfill and the BPAL TKO, and now the toy owl has a toy owl to cuddle in bed.

That was fun.

Oh neat on the no censorship! I am not used to other people being that way. That is how I was raised, both by my father's request and that no one watched me closely. I've read some messed up stuff. I can't say it hurt me.

Wow, cool! Usually people get upset about it. d: We unschool Dru, and while I often keep tabs on what he's exposed to, I let him be exposed to everything. I'm just sure that he knows I'm there to answer questions or comfort him if he comes across something freaky or upsetting, etc. He's a pretty cool, well-rounded kid. (:

Not upset in the slightest. The worst person in my life and experience was a product of repression and was not able to be themselves. So they were deeply unhappy and quite selfishly evil actually. Blaming exposure is a way for people to not own their behavior and why they act that way. If exposure equaled coercion I'd be .. I don't know what. I've read so much. I may be a monster to the lifestyles that insist on censorship the most, but I am not a bad person. While I have discovered parts of myself which are true faster, or parts which I may never have thought to imagine on my own, anything I read that I also pick up without a LOT of unmistakable work is pretty much innate. Reading makes me more me, it doesn't change me without me knowing it and that is rare. I am me, and I recognize myself in baby and toddler pictures. But not necessarily in grade school pictures. So of course I think it is fantastic you are unschooling him!

I envy that he has you to turn to. I'll never know if I could have had that kind of comfort from my Dad, since he died when I was 9. All I know is that it is his extracting a promise from my Mother, with the force of a request from the dead, that gave me my intellectual freedom. I'd much rather have a tradition than a legacy, yannow?
