Australia’s Watch Around Water is placing images of a little drowned boy at the bottom of swimming pools.

At some point we figure people are going to catch onto this whole fake-dead-people-as-props trend, and when they do they’ll come across some real dead people and scoff. Then what are we going to do? Say “I’m sorry”?

No. The boy who cried wolf did that. Nobody believed him. – Contributed by Angela Natividad

TRENDING AROUND THE WEB

I’m 66 and I’m still working, still paying a mortgage, still helping my kids, still driving my mother to her appointments, still pretending I have the energy I had at 45 — and the invisible decade I’m living through has no anthem, no self-help section, no supportive community, just a quiet expectation that I’ll keep holding the weight without mentioning what it’s doing to my knees, my marriage, and the version of myself that I keep promising I’ll get back to when things calm down, which they never do

Nobody talks about the women who raised entire families, kept every tradition alive, and held everyone together for forty years — and then got thanked by being called “strong” instead of being asked “are you okay” because those are two completely different sentences and only one of them requires anyone to actually do something

Research suggests the reason many men over 60 struggle to articulate emotional needs isn’t stubbornness or pride, it’s the total absence of practice — they were never asked what they needed as boys, never shown what asking looks like by their fathers, and never given a relationship where the asking wasn’t met with discomfort, redirection, or the subtle withdrawal of respect, and you can’t expect fluency in a language that was never spoken in the house where you learned to talk

Some mothers don’t compete with their children openly. They just ask questions designed to locate the crack in every good thing. How much did that cost. Are you sure that’s really as good as you think. Are you sure you can actually afford that.

I’m 65 and the loneliest thing about being the reliable one isn’t that nobody helps you, it’s that nobody worries about you, because you built such a convincing display of competence over 40 years that the people who love you most genuinely believe you don’t need anything, and correcting that belief at this point would feel like dismantling the only version of me they’ve ever trusted
