They just sort of accept that whatever happens must be normal.

I vastly preferred the lack of context. The context is extremely depressing lol.

- Always remember to add "lol" to the end of dark and depressing statements to make people less worried about you lol

This is why childhood trauma is so damaging. You have nothing to compare to so whatever you experience as a child becomes the foundation of your mind.

- Babies scream because whatever they're experiencing is literally the worst thing that's ever happened to them.

  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"

  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

  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

- Self awareness is mind boggling. The worst thing you've ever experienced in your short existence just happened to you. Total system overload.

To be fair they moved to Florida.

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.

- Wait till you hear about gun deaths

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

- SLC looks wildly unnatural

Advanced verbal skills on that toddler 😂

- 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.

  A 2 year old asking "are we still on earth?" What r u smoking bro? How many kids have you raised? I bet fucking ZERO
