Good Manners Meets Skibidi Toilet Training

 December 19, 2024

   So, it's my birthday (78) and my zany wife got me a couple very zany presents, one of which is a T-Shirt that says "Studio." The inside joke here is one time I asked her where she was going and she said, "Jazzercize" and I quipped that it was a good thing she had on a T-shirt that said, "Jazzercize" so she would know where she is and so she got me a payback custom T-shirt to remind me of where I am most days.

(she also got me a book on 1001 movie posters)

   Meanwhile, on my morning walk I had a couple new members along for my Step Entourage and here we are halfway up the hill towards Morningstar.

   Just prior to this photo being taken, we met my neighbor Todd who was out walking his two dogs, Nammi (short for Tsunami) and Jelly and when I introduced my grandkids to Todd he said "Nice to meet you" and as we walked on, I told Harper and Fenton that after you meet someone for the first time and then get ready to leave you need to say, "It was nice to meet you." It is polite and shows good manners.
   So, not long after the above photo was taken we were walking back to the house when we met a couple of our other neighbors to the south of us, Mike and Sheri, who were out with their dogs in a golf cart. I introduced Harper and Fenton to them and we chatted for a few moments and then as we parted, Harper said without any prompting from me, "It was nice to meet you," and I beamed. I was so proud of her! I turned and said to Fenton, "What do you say, Fenton?" 
   He replied, "Skibidi Toilet."

"Someone who is obsessing over some unimportant thing."
—Gen Alpha slang, definition of Skibidi Toilet
