LPT: if a child is giving you something, take it off them. No matter what it is, children don't have a lot of things and their world is very small, and they are choosing to give you a gift.

So, I don't know this story, and I fully agree it's a weird reaction. But let me throw a possible reason out here..

When I was younger, a small girl in my neighborhood decided she had a little crush on me. Like, I was 16/17, she was like...6. I'd be walking in the neighborhood with my sister, she'd come say "hi" to us, then look straight at my sister and say "back off barbie". Was hilarious. And annoying.

Now, if I had somehow encouraged the behavior, it could have really made an kmpact on the little girls outlooks. Maybe the gf had witnessed something similar? Or been that little girl?

I know, I have no reason to think any of this applies. Just throwing it all out there.

(Weird, coincidental follow-up.. the little girl is now related to me. Her mom was my wife's cousin! Her life.. did not go great..)

LPT: Check on your friends who just had a baby. Ask if they need company, or anything, really. Keep calling them to social events, even if they are unable to attend for a good few months. Their routine has abruptly changed, hence most "friends" just vanish. LPT request: how to get up in the right time? LPT: Get a Prenup. It is far easier to decide how materials and custody should be divided while both parties are on good terms. It'll save you both a lot of time and money. LPT: One of the biggest mistakes you could make when trying to climb any company’s ladder is believing that your skill, talent, and work ethic will be noticed and rewarded. More often than not, the only thing holding you back is keeping your mouth shut.
