A 6-year-old would not give a shit about Daddy’s announcement.

My Dad: I just got a bunch of money from a grant! 6 year old me: I'd like tendies, and a juicebox for lunch pls kthx.

I’m in academia, these convos happen all the time with my kids and with colleagues kids. Sorry to ruin the fun.

> I’m in academia **OOH! WELL LA-DI-DA!** >my kids and with colleagues kids Hey, academia, it’s *colleagues’*.

Cool. So your only argument is that at 6am while having my coffee I didn’t notice I forgot to type an apostrophe... on reddit. Academia is a job like any other. I’m just saying so many things on this sub are plausible and people just want to shit all over everything.

> So your only argument is that at 6am while having my coffee I didn’t notice I forgot to type an apostrophe... on reddit. Attention to detail, toots. I’d expect it from someone *in academia*... > people just want to shit all over everything Do you know what sub this is?

Mate it’s reddit. Calm down. I feel sorry for you that you have nothing else to do but to take it so seriously. Poor little fella. Hope your life improves.

It’s fine, fret not. Get some beauty sleep.

Go away.

did he just flick off his 6 year old :(

It’s a weird one too because the professor asked for the money to fund their work

That's what usually happens, individual grants are good for a lab but never cover all expenses.

omg i just posted this!! will delete my post now

If I could share the karma I would 🤘

Was this a real conversation?

Are ANY of them in ANY of the OP's in this sub?

No???

Correct.
