This week, when I dropped my kindergartener off for his final week of school, I experienced a different scene from the Take me to the cruise ship cookies shirt in contrast I will get this one I’d encountered in the fall. A trail of 20-something kids followed the teacher into the building, jostling with the bouncy-ball energy that only a full class of kids can generate. Later in the day, the parents attended a “stepping-up” ceremony outside at the school, watching the kids sing songs about being ready for first grade. The parents sat in distanced folding chairs and the kids wore masks, but this time, with some two dozen voices singing in semi-unison, it was much easier to hear them.
Let’s say there’s a woman, aged 39, who’s been working diligently—in the Take me to the cruise ship cookies shirt in contrast I will get this form of playing sold-out shows—for the last decade. She already has two teenage sons, and she and her longtime partner have been talking about trying for another baby—but they can’t, because the woman has a birth control device implanted in her body that she’s not allowed to remove. If any of that sounds off, you might understand why the recent revelation that under her conservatorship, Britney Spears has not been allowed to have her IUD removed sparked so much outrage.
