{DAY 32}

Hey, it's been a while, you. Summer's nearly over, huh? Any exciting last minute plans, feelings on how your summer's gone on the whole? Excited to return? (I bet not, LOL.)

Ah, so a man must have siblings in order to understand the plight of the oppressed now, does he?

(I was talking about being unsure if I was into S&M or not; completely unrelated until you mentioned it.)

[mostillogical]

A man must have had fellow-creatures younger than himself to understand why autonomy is the thing they need least.

(...I choked on my tea.)

[captainmycaptain]

If we treated children with respect and gave them responsibilities to hold to, then they should be perfectly capable of handling their own autonomy.

(Good thing you weren't wasting coffee, then.)

[mostillogical]

Go test that theory out for yourself you poor, sad, delusional man.

(The silver lining at last.)

[captainmycaptain]

I imagine I'd make a classroom full of children cry before I could even say "Challenge accepted."

(Within parentheses, still.)

[mostillogical]

Ah, the keen glare of a true leader.

...Though I feel they might give you a run for your money, really.

(Leaving these behind now. It's time.)

[captainmycaptain]

They're better off without it.

How so?

(Is it, though?)

[mostillogical]

I doubt you could handle a gaggle of children, I mean.

There. Habit broken.

[captainmycaptain]

... Is that a challenge?

(I don't know. They're kind of homey.)

[mostillogical]

...Yes.

No.

[captainmycaptain]

......

(Hm.)

[mostillogical]

Now you're just doing it to be cheeky, Alexis.

[captainmycaptain]

:)

[mostillogical]

The children have defeated you, haven't they?

[captainmycaptain]

What children?

[mostillogical]

Creepy children, let Alexis come back to the phone now.
