I do feel like I'd be torn, as an adult, on a kid being picky--some things are just annoying, but as an adult I STILL dislike mushrooms and raw onions (love cooked ones), and I doubt any amount of coaxing or demanding would've changed that.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I hate raw onions, they're too acidic. I'll eat caramelized onions out of the pan once they're cool enough.

Oh, Mr. Sweaty Man, please stop wafting your shirt. The bus is now filled with your smell, and I can assure you that your scent is not a pleasing one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I know this is Chicago Manual of Style (CMoS); IEEE style is based on it, but every time I see this my brain says "complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)" and then "what? no, that's not it."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
A random stranger at work stopped to tell me I have pretty hair. I suspect a lurker, right?

That's perfect, Allyson.

That is awesome, Allyson--the lurkers support you IN PERSON!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's pretty great.

It's probably just that you seriously have some of the prettiest hair out there.
