I did that once, I was staying at a family as an exchange student and immediately forced to help with chores. Now, they ran a large creche from that house so there were a lot of different chores and being on dishes could mean slaving away in the kitchen for well over an hour.

Anyway, I didn't know shit about how to properly dispose of oil and in the first or second week poured a large pan of oil down the drain. It ended up ruining some stuff and they had a hefty repair bill. I may be cynical, but I never gave a damn about it as they were basically using me as free labor anyway. Helping with household chores = ok. Helping clean up the gigantic daily mess of those shitty kids in your shitty creche = not ok

creche
noun
Alternative form of crèche.

JK,

was it penguins or bats?

Isn't a crèche that thing Lae'zel kept yapping on about in Baldur's Gate?

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes because githyanki are egg laying bat faced people

...wow...how did I not make that connection.

Proof that my brain is smoother than that Githyanki egg I accidentally destroyed.

I gave mine to the friendly lady out front. I'm sure it turned out well

It's ok! The writers could have picked something irrelevant, you just got unlucky.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Yes, you go there and steal an egg

You're looking at the wrong definition. It was very clearly a re-enactment of the birth and incarnation of our Lord through our Lady
