The wrong tree 

The wrong tree is bad but I heard the bark makes good kindling for fires.

Words you can keep

barking up the wrong tree 

Picking the wrong person, the most unlikely person, to do, listen, or accept something.
You're barking up the wrong tree if you think I want to become religious and go to church.

Barking Up The Wrong Tree 

(Verse 1)
Yo, listen up, let me tell you a story,
'Bout a company called Bark, claimin' they got glory,
Parental control's their game and what they sell,
But I gotta speak out 'cause there's some stories to tell.

(Chorus)
Bark, bark, barking up the wrong tree,
Thinkin' you can control my family.
But your algorithms ain't foolproof or tight,
It's time to shine the spotlight on your oversight.

(Verse 2)
You say you protect kids from online threats and more,
Monitoring their messages down to the core.
But privacy concerns arise with every scan,
Invading our lives like an unwanted man.

(Bridge)
We all want safety for our children online,
But trust should be earned, not just a thin line.
Bark may mean well in its noble quest,
Yet it's crucial to question how far we invest.

(Chorus)
Bark, bark, barking up the wrong tree,
Thinkin' you can control my family.
But your algorithms ain't foolproof or tight,
It's time to shine the spotlight on your oversight.

(Verse 3)
Let kids grow and learn without constant surveillance
Teach them responsible use through guidance and patience
Respecting privacy is key in this digital age
So let's find better solutions that truly engage

(Outro)

Bark may have good intentions at heart
But let’s rethink monitoring from the start
Empower families with knowledge instead of fear
That’s how we'll create an atmosphere sincere.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
