@NEStalgia And you're telling me that you NEVER, not ever during the ENTIRE duration of your childhood did something bad/mischievous or did something that your parents expressly forbid you to do? Not even when they weren't looking or weren't present, such as in school, or in summer camp? (to add to that: possibly goaded/cheered on by friends/classmates or whatever)
And no kid is a natural born cynic. There's actually no such thing. All kids are born innocent, contrary to a certain popular belief, and without fail, ALL kids are happy-go-lucky for at least the first couple of periods in their lives.
Oh, and my parents were strict as well, but they still allowed me to make mistakes, even though I did get grounded for some of them. But that too, is only part of natural kid behavior. Ask any parent: it all starts when kids go through that particular "testing out the parents" phase, as soon as they've discovered the magical word "no"...
@ThanosReXXX Oh certainly not never, there's no such thing as never, but nothing that anyone else would considering of any significance. For me, something entirely minor like jumping on a bed was like "OMG I'm a crime lord now, that's it I'm going to prison!"
Oh I was probably happy go lucky until 5 or so. Only cynicism since then, though I never really learned the "no" part as a kid. Nor would I really want to have, nor would I regret that now. Now of course for the rest of society it's more of a giant middle finger now than a "no" but that was then and this is now.
@NEStalgia The "no" phase is usually around age two or three, so points for you, if you'd actually still be able to clearly remember your life back then. I certainly don't. Only quick flashes of fading memories...
But man, were you ever a goodie-two-shoes...
And here I thought I was a relatively good-behaved kid, especially compared to my friends and my cousin, that I used to hang out with and partake in all kinds of mischief with...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
My son is 1.5 years old and his new thing is saying " Oh Yea!" To everything. If he wants a sucker, it's " Oh yea!" , if hes crying and he wants to take a nap, it's " Oh yea!" And pointing upstairs. Its really funny how 2 words indicate what he needs and what's even funnier, I know what he's saying haha. But on the mischievous front, he's bad! Like always getting into something bad 😂
@NintendoByNature Better enjoy it while you can, chapter two is all about the word "no"...
Funny thing: while reading your comment, and seeing you explain how all your son needed was these two words to basically form an entire range of emotions and meanings, the first thing that popped into my head was "I am Groot"...
@bimmy-lee he's a little hard @$$ for his age so let's go with the maccccccho man Randy savage..i like that rather much. Fun fact: I went to the same high school as macho man
@NintendoByNature - Wow, that’s really cool. Easily the best HS alumni I’ve heard. He was a great athlete. Played college baseball, and I think he got drafted because Randy Poffo baseball cards exist.
I was just thinking it had been a while since I listened to Wookie Wookie, which is shockingly void of Chewbacca somehow. That’s easily my favorite song about macho men in the kitchen.
@bimmy-lee
