Not sure why you’re getting down votes, I agree totally. I mostly only follow space, sports, and video game news on there. It’s a great site for communication
I was taught to put my tongue* on the roof of my mouth and even had braces specifically to make me do that? Am I going mad? Is my life a lie? Is this just fantasy, caught in a landslide
Having your tongue against the roof of your mouth at rest is 100% the “correct” way to store your tongue. This actually influences how your teeth, jaw, and facial bones grow
That’s exactly what I was thinking. My tongue rests on the roof of my mouth, to pull it back takes more effort. In fact, as I open my mouth my tongue sticks to the roof a little, then pops away - there’s like a vacuum seal holding it there, effortlessly.
I heard it has to do with what your primary language is. Different languages have different default mouth positions and so speakers of different languages end up with different muscles developed over time.
Yes. I took Mandarin for a while and would practice at my favorite Chinese restaurants in town with the staff. They all remarked on how they keep their tongue on the bottom of their mouth. One older woman actually said it went back to Confucianism, and how that was better for the electrical circuit of the body, or something.
What’s this rule that only 2 kids can sit with you. And that’s on a birthday. Best case scenario for non-birthdays is you sit with one other kid, but more likely it’s eating alone.
If parents can eat with you on your birthday, it’s probably elementary school, and the kids probably typically sit with their class. If a parent shows up for a birthday lunch, they probably sit them at a separate 4-top from the whole class, so they can pick 2 other students to sit with the kid and their parent.
In my kids elementary school, we just sat at the long table with the whole class, but I could imagine that scenario if the kid/parent sat at a different table. If you didn’t specify a couple of kids and left it as a free-for-all, there would be chaos.
Yeah, those poor 90’s kids were dealing with some unacknowledged or untreated intergenerational trauma, parenting, a cycle which they’ve been working on breaking. It’s really hard to have emotional regulation and not take out your feelings on someone else when you have no pre frontal cortex development, yet, and you’ve never had that exampled for you, by parents. Not having a go at you, at all, or refuting you, your statement is entirely true, they (we) were assholes at times. I just find the second half to that story hugely uplifting.
