Cool Stuff Friday
Friday is finally starting to get back into the writing groove.
- Puppies who need a little help.
- Funny reasons little kids cry. As a parent, I remember situations like these…
- T-Rex takes on the American Ninja Warrior course. And does better than I could do.
- LEGO stop-motion Ghostbusters film.

It’s terrible but I love funny reasons little kids cry! As a parent, it’s easy to be familiar with so many of those.
My favorite, however, was because “The milk wasn’t juice.” Because, you know what… even as an adult a lot of times life is that way and the milk isn’t juice.

I assume the “20+ Ridiculious Reasons Why Kids Cry” post was supposed to be funny, but I’m having a hard time laughing. It’s just another “let’s laugh at those kids, because treating kids’ feelings as trivial and not worthy of respect is just way cool” memes. (It’s in the larger category of “let’s make fun and trivialize the sufferings of people who can’t fight back” memes.) I remember most of my childhood was like hell for me (I bear the scars 50 years later), and when I’d complain or cry, the people around me would just laugh at me and tell me to stop being a crybaby. So this kind of mockery hits me where it hurts.
I don’t see any attempt to attempt to try to see the situation from the kid’s point of view. There may be entirely understandable reasons for their crying, but you’d have to make an effort to understand them. And that’s not nearly as fun as posting gifs and short videos for people to laugh at.

I agree. Well said.
