Octopi is being accepted at school as a word now, when Octopus is of Greek origin, not Latin.

I will not have my children stop anywhere shy of the full octopodes.

The teachers are Fucking cunts.

Not the octopodes, that would just be silly.

I just felt like arguing, and I turned out to be right.

I like to think that this moment shaped me.
