Ghosting In Kindergarten
The spread of the Pokémon animated series, trading card game, and video games in the late 90s took the world by storm. They took the tagline “Gotta catch ‘em all” to heart, and the mildest mannered kids were suddenly tiny thieves, risking suspensions and groundings just to get their hands on those rare holofoil cards and collectible toys.
u/wanderingproteincake pulled the playground version of a romance scam. Rather than losing thousands in life savings to a stranger over the internet claiming to be a military man stuck on an oil rig who needs money for their sick kid, some poor five-year-old lost their Psyduck and their heart to a kindergarten conman, which hurts just as much.
