#kid logic

[yeoldenews]

This was from a selection of Dear Santa letters received by the post office in Washington DC in 1885.

Wonderful little kid logic. I don't know where Santa lives, but probably the same place the president does.

Les enfants naviguent tellement le monde à l'aveugle. Je viens d'entendre un jeune enfant demander à son parent "C'est quoi un quart d'heure ?" Wow. Ils savent vraiment rien du tout, c'est adorable 🥹

When I was really little, my mom was teaching me the alphabet, and she went "A é de árvore..." (A is for tree; or, more literally, A belongs to tree).

According to her, I gave this look of utter betrayal and angst and went "Não é não! A é de Alice!" (No it isn't! A is for Alice!).

I was SO upset that she was giving away my letter to another word. lol

[Our dog Ty is allergic to chicken.]

Jefferson: Mom, is Ty a Chicken McNugget?

Me: no he can’t be, because then he’d be allergic to himself.

Jefferson, deadpan: PLANT-BASED Chicken McNugget.

Can't remember if I've told this story already

>be me, ~4, only child

>parents have recently divorced

>living in mom's hometown

>+10 local aunts and uncles

>my parents are in their 30s; both middle children who got going late

>most of my cousins are in their late teens

>none of my gen is being raised Catholic... but mom and her siblings were

>hence a lot of young and frequent pregnancies, fast marriages, loss of faith, and fast divorces

>point being: my older aunts are all starting to empty nest, learning how to cook for one for the first time, taking up jazzercise, etc

>my younger aunts have basically just moved out of my grandparents' house themselves

>we are all big broad women... but the older aunts are thinner

>and have more children

>I have a vague notion of pregnancy and how it changes your body, but not that men are involved in any way. I have more aunts and cousins than uncles, after all

>QED, female body fat IS pregnancy and women are entirely in control of when they can have the kids

>my thinnest aunt (who married into the family) also has the most children. There you have it

>any time someone laments their weight in front of me, I tell them to just have the babies, like it's the most obvious thing ever

>idk how I never got corrected

>pester my mom for the little sibs she's clearly carrying for me

>go to dad's apartment

>drink too much pool water and puke over its edge

>cry because I'm sure I hurt the babies I'm already carrying

>dad:

And that was how I learned (a little) about human reproduction.

When I was a kid and couldn’t sleep I would sit in my bathroom and eat copious amounts strawberry flavored melatonin gummies and sometimes I wondered how that effected my development.

The funniest part is that she actually questioned if he was right before questioning his sanity.
