Well today I got screamed at because my 18 month old handed me a long string of beads that was wadded into a bunch of tangled knots and I untangled them. I don't know what I was supposed to do but apparently that wasn't it.

Whenever I see a toddler with a cold or the flu, I feel extra bad for them. They're all congested, sneezing, coughing, possibly pinwheeling in the bathroom... a lot of them have never felt worse than that, and it's like, "I'm so sorry. You've got decades more of this to look forward to, little friend"

One of many reasons I'm not having kids.

They're pretty well right about it when they're just born.

My toddler screamed at ear hurting levels because Mom forgot her hug. Chill is not the word I would use to describe most toddlers.

I prefer fire alarms. They are either at full chill, or complete panic. Very little in-between.

Whoa if you think about it that's true about fire alarms too

But fire alarms usually scream when it's worth screaming about.

Fire alarms scream when someone uncovers a pot of boiling water too quickly.

That's what you get for using a photoelectric smoke detector in your kitchen instead of an ionizing smoke detector!

I joke that my kid has the communication skills of an alarm clock.

Kinda compliments how they can also throw a nuclear tantrum for absolutely no reason where you, the parent, may also have zero context for what’s going on.

Have you ever missed your lunch nap? If that doesn't make you scream....

I do feel sad about skipping the siesta. Relatable.

Mine screamed at me this evening because we put a hand on a corner of the counter that he had already smacked his head on once this morning.

I don't even know anymore lol

Or the alien landscapes of the Southwest

Y'all folks living in Endor or some shit, with trees everywhere. That's the real alien landscape. 👽

Dkarma@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

The alien said from a cloud of dust cuz there's no roots or soil base

dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 2y

What's a soil base?

Actually, an aerial view of Denmark would show that the vast majority is farmland, then coastline, then sub- and urban areas and THEN forests 😄

Oh, geez. I grew up in the US of the '80s and '90s and was talking to a friend about all the abortion clinic bombings we had back then--like not just murdering doctors (although that did happen), bombings--and how, thinking back on it, that was a super fucked up normal to grow up with.

Before that they were firebombing churches. There was a surprising amount of bombing in the sixties and seventies.

I wondered the same thing when landing in Salt Lake City for a connecting flight.

Advanced verbal skills on that toddler 😂

Evia@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y (7 replies)

Not necessarily. Speach and language develops at different rates in kids and I can totally see a moderately advanced two year old using a complete simple sentence.
