      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.

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

        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.

      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

    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.

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

      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.
