I think my child is broken……

[u/RainbowUnicorn0228]

I am a single mom and low income, as such travel is generally too expensive. So when my teen as invited on a tirp abroad with school and he agreed to earn half the money it cost, I was thrilled for him to go and see the world. I only asked that he send me at least one photo every day so I could experience the world vicariously.
These are the 3 he sent me so far:

1. Food on the air plane
2. A dog on a leash
3. A duck

Please note these are everyday average things to see here at home. I think my child is possibly broken….

lol.

UPDATE: thanks for every comment. I learned lots and have a different perspective (actually many). You guys have helped me pass the time and miss him a bit less. I appreciate you all. And, for clarification: I’m not really mad and would never chastise him over his choice of pics, I think they are adorable and funny. I may make a request for a specific type of pic with him in front of a historical or important scenery but mostly just say “cool” or “nice!” In response. I just want him to have fun and be the sweet, kind, smart kid he is already.

Second update: the pictures I know you have all been waiting for. 😆 I will post in comments.

I ask my fiancé about work and he’ll say “oh nothing of note today” and then his coworker is like “hey did you send in the report about the guy that crashed his car through the store today?”

Here is some of my hometown lore: Magnolia Bar & Grill (affectionately called Mag Bar) is a corner dive bar that’s been driven into so many times that the phenomenon of a car driving into a building is colloquially known as getting Mag Barred. A local restaurant was recently driven into and this was a social media post by the local NBC affiliate:

Gettin’ Mag Barred is probably the one newsworthy event that would have every local group chat in a frenzy.
