My kid is the homie in this meme waaay too often, I always keep a couple new old-fashioned toothbrushes on hand. Keeps her out of my hair all evening, and her friends are always so polite and clean up after themselves because they think they're getting away with something.

My kid went round to her friends house "just for the day" recently.

She phoned and said, "oh btw [friend] wants me to stay the night is that ok?"

Me: "you'll need to come back and get things for the night".

Her: "it's ok I already have my pyjamas toothbrush and laptop with me"

Me: 🤨

At least you won't be an early grandpa. That kid is prepared.

Smart kid thinking ahead. My niece is the opposite of this. Love that goober tho

She new she was spending the night before she left. She just thought she'd have better luck convincing me after she was already there and it was getting towards Saturday evening. "Oh no I lost track of time I know you don't want me taking the bus late [friend]'s parents are ok with me staying here". It was obvious but well orchestrated so I let her get away with it. After all,I don't want to give her reason to be more sneaky than she already is.

I have (had?) an arms length friend that is prone to making bad choices.
He aspires to be a decent guy, but struggles with making the right choices. He made some pretty bad choices last year.

Cheated on his wife with a coworker that was, er, not someone I’d trust. Got caught. Coworker then got pregnant. A few months later he called me to ask if he could crash in our guest bedroom for ‘no more than three days’ while he cut things off with the coworker and worked on reconciling with the wife. While he was still that coworker’s supervisor and baby daddy, unbeknownst to his supervisors.
Seeing nothing but red flags there, I offered to pay for a hotel room for him for a week, and he never took me up on the offer. My wife’s eyebrows were almost at the ceiling when we got off the phone. She very much appreciated not inviting that mess into our lives. I haven’t heard from him since.

This was specifically a rule in my house. If you ask while your friend is there, the answer is no. It had to be prearranged.

damn, I always remember how exciting it was to have a spontaneous sleep over.

I see that. What is the joke?

Back in the old days, when we were young we did a thing where we would meet another young person in real-life, not chat or text, and we would go hang out together in their actual real-world house, and play and do stuff that was so much fun that we wanted it to go on and on, so we would sometimes do a thing where we would sleep at the other person's house so we could spend more time together and continue to talk and laugh and play into the night.

Sometimes it required the permission of both sets of parents and often parents had concerns that we didn't as children, so the trial of asking for this temporary arrangement was always one of stress and anticipation, and sometimes even bargaining.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 hours ago

I see, I thought the joke was that the other kid didn't like the friend and prayed the parents said no. Which is not relatable at all. When I was young I just did whatever I wanted so it's not relatable either I guess.

[–] varden@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago

One young kid is asking his parents if his friend can stay the night, while said friend is sheepishly looking from the background. The expressions on the animals are kind of funny in that context. It's less of a joke and more of a relatable experience with an image attached

I have a story about this... no way I'm going to tell it, though.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

Your friend's single mom was hot so you banged her up against the freezer when she caught you having a midnight cup of milkshake?

I didn't want to read this anyway

What a terrible day to have eyes.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Don't worry we already know. I just want to say. "You're a sick fuck" offically.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 hours ago

Must not involve CrossFit then.
