Yesterday, I wrote about kids, specifically my kid and the children of the Industrial Revolution. My spawn, as I like to call him. I tell him all the time I am so happy I hatched him. He looks at me with wonder, love and trepidation mostly trepidation. I’m sorry I’m so weird son. I’m also sorry that I’m going to be embarrassing when you’re a teenager. Please just know I love you, bear with me.
Well, I couldn’t fit this into my post yesterday as it didn’t fully fit the format. Today I will share with you some of the jacked up Google searches I found for children while researching child labor.
All of these began with: WHY DO CHILDREN….
1. Scream for no reason? I tend to agree, have you taken a child to a birthday party? For fuck sake, it’s like a scream fest where they get together and scream, eat cake, only two bites, waste the rest and then scream more.
First a circle scream, then we’ll stand in a line and scream
2. Join the Taliban? Well given it’s optional, it’s probably like summer camp…that teaches suicide bombing and kickball.
3. Souls stay behind? Not all of them, just the souls of poor kids.
soul
4. Overgeneralize words? All children always do this all the time, times infinity.
5. Always stare at me? I like to believe their giving the “evil eye” trying to evoke misfortune in the form of The Black Death to my family and famine to my crops, killing my goats. To counteract this I recommend a vial of lizard blood and skullcap.
6. Play with their poop? It’s organic play-doh
7. Fail in school? Because learning is dumb, duh.
8. Have to suffer? I hope this person shook an angry fist at Google when they typed this rhetorical question. WHYYYYYY????!!!! Damn you!
It’s not fair! Answer me!
9. Vomit at night? Ugh, what the hell is wrong with that kid? I bet because he played with his poop all day and didn’t wash his hands.
10. Use private speech? So adults have no idea that they are plotting when and where they will start screaming, that way it appears unprovoked and spontaneous.
“Why does this happen?”
11. Need vitamins? Those too? I got to feed and water this thing as well? Gah! Can I trade it for a Chia Pet? I’m glad a parent felt the need to research this…
12. Take Xanex? Because lacking responsibilities is stressful.
13. Cry in their sleep? They’re whimpering, probably dreaming about chasing rabbits and squirrels, right? I mean they’re legs are moving like they’re running.
Or because monsters know kids are delicious.
14. Feel the need to access guns? You can’t join the NRA without a gun. You can’t be American without a gun. I’m as proud as a bald eagle.
15. Hate you? Don’t take it personal, they hate all adults, hence the real reason they are constantly screaming.
Lastly a search that did not fit in with the searches above:
Why do Tom Cruise’s kids live with him?
Fear.
