Have you been having a hard time keeping your kids entertained during this seemingly never-ending lockdown?
If that’s the case, you might want to look to a 14-year-old girl from Libertyville, Illinois named Macaire Everett for inspiration.
Macaire has been creating unique chalk drawings on her family’s driveway and then her brother “travels” through the art and photos are snapped of the action.
And it all looks like a really great and creative adventure!
Let’s take a look at Macaire’s art.
We think you’ll love it!
Now that looks like an adventure!
Get to know the culture!
What a sight that would be!
Mess with the bull, you might get the horns.
An amusement park sounds fun right about now.
And yes, it’s Pisa, not Pizza, FYI.
Looks like a blast.
I hope he’s not on that island by himself.
The city by the bay has a lot to offer.
And don’t get too close!
Here he is defending the castle.
Have a great summer! Hopefully we’ll be back to normal sooner than later.
Aren’t those awesome?
Are you doing anything creative during quarantine?

Not everybody is skinny. I’d even say that most people are on the heftier side of the scale and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Not at all, actually!
A whole bunch of women took to Twitter to show off their weight gain and they look absolutely fabulous.
And I think you’re going to agree with me after you look at their photos.
Let’s check them out!
And looking great!

In a just world, all bullies would end up with terrible, minimum-wage jobs and you’d be able to laugh and flip them the bird as you drove by in your convertible.
But, as you know, life isn’t fair. At all.
However, it’s still interesting to see where former bullies end up in life.
Let’s take a look at what these folks had to say about where their childhood bullies and where they went in life.
Doesn’t work anymore.
Last I heard, she was a bartender. I saw her like two years ago and she was trying to make me feel small all over again, then she asked me what I was doing with my life, and when I told her I was getting my MFA, she kinda sputtered and made an excuse to leave. Felt good.

Oh well, moving on…
He owns a home improvement company and has a bunch of kids. Good for him. Probably doesn’t even remember the time he threw a graphing calculator at the back of my head.

He’s in charge.
Wasn’t as much of an aggressive bully, but the day I found out the most homophobic dude of my year went on to study law and become a judge I was just like „yeah, checks out.. it’s always dudes like him..“ https://t.co/NJfiATAt7U

People can change!
My high school bully went to AA, got sober, and started helping at-risk youth at a small community gym in northern California.
The other one joined the navy and when he got out became super involved in local politics championing progressive policies down in SD.

Feeling the compassion here.
I knew one girl who bullied a lot of people back then. I tried to stay out of her way. I saw her again a few years ago when she came in to the clinic I worked at for critically ill persons. She was a patient ..She was very kind, as was I. High school is hard for everyone.

Sounds like a gem.
Sells used construction equipment and claims covid masks are for sheep. Which honestly tracks, at least based on my experience in the seventh grade.

Who does that?
We ended up being coworkers at the public library. While there, he used the patron records to find my parent’s address and send them a postcard telling them I was gay.
— Jason Shiga (@jasonshiga) July 16, 2020
That’s positive.
Ironically last I heard he was head of Anti-Bullying program in the school district I was in back in the day. To his credit, he did reach out at one point and gave what seemed to be a very real apology and now wants to make sure others never have to suffer from behavior like his.

You never know what’s gonna happen.
He’s in construction! He would have gone into the NHL but he got arrested for dealing drugs, but fortunately managed to straighten his life out.
I ended up living in a house with him as adults. He became one of my most loyal friends.

Dogs get jealous, too. For real.
You don’t believe me?
Well, you’re about to see photographic evidence of what happens when you introduce a new dog into a home where an older (A.K.A. “original”) dog now has to share their domain with a new, younger pooch.
And a lot of them are NOT feeling it. At all.
I mean, can you blame them?
They’re not the king of the castle anymore…and that’s kind of a bummer…
Let’s take a look at these photos of dogs that are not solely in charge anymore.
Now what am I supposed to do?

It’s never fun to be embarrassed…
You feel like a dummy, you bury your head in shame, and you have a hard time looking people in the eye for a while. Trust me, I’ve been there…too many times…
But it’s really funny when it happens to other people!
These folks went on the record on Twitter and shared their most embarrassing misunderstandings. Let’s take a look!
Those are pretty good.
I used to think chocolate truffles were snuffled out of the ground by pigs. My friend John asked the barber for a ‘short back insides’, and another friend thought the bow under Colonel Sanders on the KFC logo was his arms and legs!

Time for a history lesson.
Many years ago I went on a date to The Natural History Museum. When we got to the Mammoths, I clearly looked a bit confused so my date asked me what was up. I told him that I didn’t understand why they were in the museum, when you could just visit them in the zoo. Yeah. That.
