re: #1001 doppelganglander

Reading that was physically painful, and I’m a female. I’ve taught my girls to go for DNA evidence by scratching and hair-pulling, as well as anything else they can do to fight off an attacker. (I’ve also taught them to avoid dangerous situations and to size up shady individuals, so I hope they’ll never need any other skills.)

I’ve preached to my girls and my Girl Scouts for years just to not be so caught up in their own little world that they’re not aware of what’s going on around them. A lot of times you can see danger coming if you’ re just looking around and being aware when you’re out somewhere.
