  • I grew up in a hoarder house and I’m pretty sure I ruined my life by teaching myself to do the dishes as a kid. I was expected to keep the place clean for the rest of my childhood, and that turned into me being the only one to do chores of any kind. I was actually guilt tripped into skipping college so I’d be available to drive my sister to classes.

    So yeah forget all the drugs and murder and shit. The real worst thing a child can do is wash a dish.

    Kermit’s froghood baffles me, mainly due to the neck frill. I was down a Muppet history rabbit hole recently and realized that he was originally just named “Kermit”, and didn’t become “Kermit the Frog” for some years. So he was probably designed as a frill-necked lizard of some kind and got retconned into a frog. Mystery solved, right? Well no, because then I realized he got the frill the same time they started calling him a frog.

    I was so distraught I turned to Muppet Wiki, which it turns out has an entire section on his collar. It’s an article of clothing. 😐
