A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

My wife always put an 'H' on the hardboiled eggs with a pencil to make sure they aren't confused with the raw. When my daughter was in elementary school, they were one of her favorite snacks. So when I'd make them, instead of the 'H' I'd draw a little something. I'm not any great artist, but I'd draw a butterfly or a cat or some silly face. I didn't realize for ages that they apparently became a sensation at school and the other kids always wanted to see the day's egg.

That's a lovely story and a lovely memory for both of you

It's funny, after she told me it kind of felt like a pressure/obligation - I sort of wished I didn't know.

Change to another fruit then. Paint watermelons.

I wanna see a kindergartener pull up to snack time with a whole ass watermelon

[–] modus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

How about just a slice of the ass watermelon instead?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are small softball sized watermelons too

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But you still need a pretty decent knife to cut into it. Which a kindergartner shouldn't have at school. Or they could bash it on the table till it breaks open I guess. I'm sure the teachers and janitors will love that.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Naturally, pack a big knife with the melon. The teacher will change tune pretty quick if the kid has a knife.

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's a good point. Never just bring a watermelon to a kindergarten knife fight.

When I worked in a produce department when I was a teen, there was a brand of watermelon called "Senior Sandia" (Mister Watermelon). So when we got that brand in I'd usually cut out a face on one like a friendly pumpkin and put him on display. Sometimes he'd get a hat n shit if I had one handy. My boss was just confused at these displays until I told pointed out the brand. I was then banned from giving Mister Watermelon the life he deserved.

They aren't called permitanas.

nanana

Nanny Ogg knew how to start spelling banana, but didn't know how you stopped. - STP

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 10 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

What can you use to draw on a banana skin?

Doesn't look like chalk.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 55 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Just some old leaded paint we found in gandpappys shed

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 18 points 2 weeks ago

Still as sweet as it was when he brought it home from the store!

[–] scrion@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

Simply search for food coloring pens. Patisserie shops sell them, and so does Amazon, but I wouldn't draw on a kid's banana with a random pen ordered off of Amazon, unless it's a reputable brand.

[–] misericordiae@literature.cafe 8 points 2 weeks ago

Probably paint pens like Poscas.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

You can use the tip of a kitchen knife or a hobby knife to etch a message into the skin. The cuts will turn brown quickly.

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oil pastel maybe? Would work if you plastic wrap it after.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What kind of messages does this send to your son.

Obey, when authority says to prevent art?

You're an adult, and you're still conditioned to obey teachers?

Get good and defy the bad rule. Keep making art all the harder now that it's under attack.

This would be even worse if this were happening in USA, with the much touted first amendment, or anywhere that reccognises article 10 of the human rights convention.

Enjoys the compliment of the effect the art has, but still seems resolved to the ban. :/

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 27 points 2 weeks ago

Empathy for the teacher. It's hard to be a teacher today and anything that pulls kids into the crazy space will sometimes encourage disrespect and bad behavior.

Not really about obeying the teacher. About empathy for your fellow human working. Teachers aren't our bitch to abuse and say "fuck you" to, they probably are one demographic who needs the most help in the US right now
