I Gave My Kid A Terrible Present

Love this shit.

The kid who got a Dora jumper

2:01: The girl used the possessive pronoun before gerund rule. Holy shit.

An onion. What a great present.

The blonde girl and the kid on the orange shirt seem like a nice family.

Since you're such a grammar buff can you explain an alternative to using passive voice? Seems like I use it all the time in my essays and word is disappointed in me.

Here's an example

It is best summed up by the critic Monika M. Elbert who said, “His instinctive desire is to know the man’s history (and indirectly his own).”

Not a buff, just found it interesting because most people don't use it.

Use the active voice.

Pretty much make the subject the first part of the sentence and work from there. The grammar kinda falls into place.

"The critic Monica M. Elbert succinctly expressed this idea when she said, 'His instinctive desire is to know the man’s history (and indirectly his own).' "

Still sounds weird because of the nature of the quote, but it's kind of hard to pin-down without knowing the context.

You know something called the gerund rule, you clearly are a grammar buff.

and thanks!

I haven't the faintest what both of you are talking about, guess I've learned my grammar without the...grammar. But one day I will figure out when to use a colon and a semi-colon.

the end was the best.


also.. not as good as the halloween one.. this seems poorly executed and shit.

I'm trying to find this but I can't understand what she's saying.

"I appreciate her getting us a present..."

Technically it doesn't matter here since she would have to chance the entire structure of the sentence to use the pronoun "she" but it still stuck out to me.

If it was a male subject most people would say "him getting..." instead of "his getting..." Weird how it sounds different depending on a male/female subject.

Yeah...so that was what I was on about.

Ahh I'm seeing it now. The male one makes much more sense.

These presents are what Jord will give his children if they're lucky.

They have to earn the right for presents.

They just come down and theres nothing under the tree.

'Daddy, where are the presents? '

'Your present is the right to live another year, now back to the mine!'

Yeah she's a cutie.

I like how her brother is telling her to appreciate it too. They seem like nice kids.

"I got a girl activity book, with stickers. And I'm not a girl"

"Jimmy Kimmel told us to do it"

"Well tell him to suck my balls"

Disgusting, just as bad as child abuse. Upsetting your kids to make a few people laugh, well done, fantastic parenting

3:19 LMFAO!

Christmas ages ago my mum bought my a ps2 and put the ps2 box in some box of something else, can't quite remember what it was but it was something for the kitchen and she gave it to me and she told me it was a present to me but it would be useful for the whole family, then she had my nan buy me a ps2 game when I didn't have a ps2, so I obviously thought oh my nan doesn't understand it wont work on a ps1, was pretty depressing but I stayed up beat and thankful.
