#first errand

I wish they weren't cut down to 7-10 minutes.

Probably the one of the cutest show I've ever seen. I wanna hug these little humans. They're braver than I am!

---------------------------------------------

Also many people are turning this show into some kind of societal debate. Or East vs Western cultural living type debate.

I researched the show.

It's been around since 1991. The parents choose the route with the show's runners. They pick the best way which is safest etc. The TV show runners also tell the locals that they will be filming in the area so that they know what's going on.

They have a gaggle of camera men and others following the children.

So some of these dumb sensationalistic writers and bloggers and so forth are writing headlines saying 'they abandon' these kids or 'leaving them to fend for themselves'. That's a complete horseshit lie.

Examples: In one episode in a small rural town they noticed it was taking a girl a long time to get the vegetables. So a camera man nearby said would you like me to help, just then the cabbage came loose. It had gotten dark, so the crew drove a car behind the girl to light her way home.

Another time a boy and girl were on an errand, the boy kept running, and the girl tried to keep up and tripped dropping the meatballs she was carrying and started crying. The two mothers appeared to console the child. So they must have been following with the camera crew incognito from their kids.

So they're not just out there "abandoned" like some dolt headlined it. They're in a controlled environment. They're not gonna let these toddlers get hurt.

Come on. Use your brains a little.

Go watch the show for cute little kids and fun social situations. Don't listen to these articles making the show out to be anything but cute and adorable.

Thank you so much for requesting :D I hope I do not disappoint with the direction I’m taking this! Adjusting the straps on the hat so it rested against hischin firmly, you smiled and patted the young boy’s head. “Now remember, downthe street and it’s the first shop on the left. Mr. Takeda will be expectingyou.” “Isn’t he a bit young to be going alone? He’s only fouryears old!” Mitsuhide watched as the small child made his way towards thegrocer, brows furrowed in worry.“I know it’s his first errand, but he has your smarts.” Yousmile as you reach for his hand, leaning your head against his shoulder. “Hewill be fine.”

I always thought crying from overwhelming cuteness was a myth, but I learned it’s real today.

First Errand - 99% Invisible

Back in March, Netflix picked up a long running Japanese TV program based on a children’s book from the 1970s. The show is called Old Enough, but the name of the original Japanese program translates to My First Errand. Because in each episode, a child runs an errand for the very first time. Episodes are
