My cousin had a family of trash pandas in his garage rafters. Unfortunately mama got hit by a car. All the babies went their own way, except the runt, who didn't seem to know what to do, so he took it in. The thing was so freaking fun and playful and cute. ... RIGHT UNTIL HE HIT PUBERTY. Then it turned in to this vicious fucking devil, and he had to be released. Was like a switch flipped in it's mind. They are a long way from domestication.

My 12yo, crashing out over something miniscule: WHY DO YOU ALWAYS MINIMIZE MY LEGITIMATE EMOTIONS BY SAYING IT'S HORMONES‽‽‽

My 12yo 30 minutes later: You were right, Mom, it was hormones.

Also me, 40 years old, the days before my period every month.

Due to contraception my cycle is all over the place. At least once a month I’ll start a period and it’s like a lightbulb moment when I’m like ‘that’s why I was crashing out about utter nonsense last night’. It’s like I know I’m being totally unreasonable in the moment, but it really feels like a hill I’d die on type thing.
