Adult Pre School opens in Brooklyn, NY

[Robert Maxwell]

The only thing I want to be doing at 6am on a Saturday is sleep.

OK, I can think of one other thing.

It's not cartoons, though.

I wonder what you could be implying by that.

I guess the nostalgia factor wears off after a few hours; by then those people will have realised that they've flushed their hard-earned money down the toilet.

You mean their parents hard-earned money.

No, I think you confuse something here; this is about a kindergarten for adults not a safe-space in a university.

I live in Bushwick. I know hipsters. They're called trust-fund babies for a reason.

Don't be absurd.

mhmmm

All joking aside, I really would love to get my friends together, and just sit on the floor and color. Nothing says you can't do that as an adult.

My sister and I actually do this all the time when I visit Seattle. Our mom keeps boxes of crayons and stacks of Disney princess coloring books for us. My mom has to use those fat toddler crayons because of her arthritis, though.

It's bacon, right?

Now I have this mental image of you guys laying around, coloring and it may be the most adorable thing I've ever visualized, aside from that "baby hedgehogs in top hats Congress" I once imagined.

Anyhoo, these are my favorite coloring books:

I got to hand it to this school for being clever enough to know that there was a market for adults who never want to grow up.

Here, have the real thing, taken during our last coloring session (New Years, I believe), and wearing the crowns we punched out of one of the coloring books:

Why not work in a preschool? It's fun! And you might get paid for it.

 

[HIjol]

Everybody come over to my house. I have lots of coloring books and crayons. We'll lay down in the floor, on blankets, and color. We could also tell lots of fun jokes and stories. No charge.

I sense a trap.

Don't be absurd.

I will bring the Kool Aid! What flavors?

Nothing at all, J

I'd love to charge people a couple of hundred bucks to come color at my house. Heck, I wouldn't mind charging somebody 10 bucks to color at my house. I got lots of kids toys, they can even take one or two as a parting gift.

You just might be pleasantly surprised at the response!

Now that is a nice thing, and a nice way spend some family time!

I have some Star Wars and Generic Animals/Zoo Animals I used for my First Graders. I also have some that
Locutus would be interested in, and then maybe he would come, too!

I'm almost afraid to ask.

I want to come! I have a closet full of craft supplies. It's like one big Barney Bag.

Given those prices, this is clearly an activity for Bored Rich White People.

"The price of a Preschool Mastermind course is determined by a sliding scale, staring at $333 and going all the way to $999. For that money Joni promises a magical return to the beneficial lessons of preschool."

What, like washing your hands after going to the bathroom?

Or spankings when you "misbehave".

Don't worry, 'cutus, there are other...genre.

Sounds like fun!

Why not work in a preschool? It's fun! And you might get paid for it.

Around here that requires at least a certificate, if not a full degree, in Early Childhood Development.


I did take a couple of classes in rubber stamping, back in the '90s. One of them was learning how to use special art pens to achieve painting-like effects. When I told my dad where I was off to, he asked what kind of art class it was.

"Coloring," I told him.

He got a expression on his face, and said, "Don't you already know how to do that?" (a reasonable question, considering that he gave me my first DoodleArt for my 12th birthday, back in 1975)

So I explained what the class was really about - rubber stamping, learning how to blend colors for realistic effects - useful when working with subjects like flowers, for instance - and using all this to make things like cards, bookmarks, invitations, and so on.

Don't talk about safe spaces. What the hell is all this "safe space" bullshit?

Seriously has the human race started to devolve?

Like this stuff

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microaggression_theory

Seriously is this a thing?

I looked that term up and questions like "who are you?" "where are you from?" are considered microaggressions?

WTF??????
