    That’s not very nice, trying to scam a kid out of their cool leaf for a measly ice cream.

      In an effort to teach my kid about money, I offered to give my kid $1 to buy the rocks in their pocket. They said yes, but took my dollar and tried to walk away. After wrestling the dollar back, it became a uneasy truce where we both hand things back at the same time.

      And halfway through, my kiddo said this was dumb and gave me some of his rocks if I left him alone.

      There’s no meaning to this story.

    How would you know the temperature of the leaf, unless you took it from the kid anyway?!

    A cool leaf for a bomb pop is highway robbery. That’s worth an okay leaf at best.

    Do we have a kidsarefuckingstupid community? We should

    Edit: I guess people haven’t heard about the joke sub that posted silly stories about kids doing illogical things. Ya know, kids being kids.

    I’m willing to settle for c/kidsarefuckingadorable if there is no similar community yet

      There was a lot of general child-hate on that sub. If people are going to have a community here posting when kids doing weird or silly things, let’s not name it something that will attract toxic garbage

      As funny as those subs were, imortalizing a child on the internet doing something stupid is pretty fucked up.

      If they’re not old enough to have scocial media, they certainly are not old enough to be on scocial media.

      Although, I suppose anonymous stories like this one are fine.

        Nah it’s more stories like this post. A meme community to share kid stories that are a mix between dad/parent humor and absurd/illogical/stupid scenarios (through the lens of an adult, but makes perfect sense for the kid). Like this:

        Well yeah it’s sarcastic, obviously 9 out of 10 times it’s adorable. But also really stupid in a funny way
