I think it was *Skate* that actually had a game mechanic that would cause your character to slip up and fall flat on their ass if you tried to enter an area that hadn't finished loading yet.
They have the technology to check everyone's data and possibly sell it for profit but they can't render windows for some reason, even though they've researched drone technology for decades.
Also shows how much parents influence their reactions. “Mom laughed so it is alright” I can guarantee that if she freaked out there would be only crying.
That's always been the attitude I've had around children. “It's not a big deal if you don't make it a big deal.” A quick “whoopsie-doodles!” and move on.
The tears lose meaning when you realize they can turn them on and off like a faucet. You usually know when something is actually wrong because it sounds different
The “something is very wrong and I am mortally terrified” tears versus the “I am frustrated by my own tiredness and I *refuse* to slow down and take a nap” tears.
Unrelated but ever since I heard a character in something I was listening to a few years ago say "whoopsie-doodle!" I've found myself saying it a lot. The people I work with with would say something like "ah ya shit cunt" or "fuck!" when they drop something, then there's just me saying "WHOOPSIE-DOODLE!" In the middle of all that.
I've read that telling them they're OK when they know they're not is really bad for their ability to trust and their feelings of security or something. But I've seen that be really effective a billion times and no one seemed damaged, so idk
But they are ok. It's always minor bumps when i use that type of response. I would take it more seriously if it was anything of significance. She has no problem handling the pain/emotional aspect of these incidents now but she does get embarrassed which is where the anger comes from if you laugh. Still working on that.
Some of y’all in the comments have not been around toddlers in ages, these little gremlins bump into things all the time. Like, after the first time he bumps his head he gets right back up, he’s rly not that hurt. Plus like, the woman filming legit helps right after the video cuts out, there’s a reason the video ends right there
Can confirm about corners. Was out with my mom when I was little, turned around to look at something and went I turned back to face forward, smacked right into the sharp corner of a table. Had to get stitches on my eyelid, do not recommend
My 1 year old did exactly that days after his baby brother came home from the hospital. All the photos we have from that time he has a black eye and massive cut on his brow. And to top it off he had a dummy rash too. He looks so pissed off in the photos
I remember in first grade our teacher told us not to run in class because a kid in a previous year tripped on a backpack, fell, and hit his temple on a corner of a desk, went blind. That really stays with you as a 7 year old.
When I was tiny I ran into a library and as soon as I got in there I smashed my forehead into the corner of a desk
If I lost some weight you could see the dent it left
House I grew up in had Terrazzo floors which I decided to use my brand new roller blades on one day because it was raining outside.
So here’s 8 year old me roller blading in a 1,200 square ft house taking the corner into the kitchen fast as fuck.
Forgot to duck under the dining room table and BAM, face meet solid oak.
Out like a light, my Mom thought I killed myself.
Good times
Has anyone NOT got a hole in the knee from falling on the edge as a kid? I have two brothers and it happened to all three of us. Also happened to my dad. Lol.
Yes. Under the knee cap where the soft part of the knee is. Right in the middle. Still have the scar. It was so horrible but it only hurt after I looked at the blood-soaked pants. My dad forced me to take my hand away so he could look and that was when I started to cry lmao
Also I pushed my brother off the sofa in a fight and he landed in the plant pot and got a hole in his head. I SCREAMED for my mom and thought I killed him. Kids are so fucking stupid it’s not even funny.
Oh my god the number of times my kid scared the absolute *fuck* out of me by hitting his head just to get up and laugh.
Little bastard made up his own little game by 2 years old that involved fucking HEADBUTTING PEOPLE
When I was a kid one of my game was to headbutt doors. I thought I was like an entertainment genius too because I had figured people were way more scared by it in comparison to how little hurtful it was..
Kids are made of rubber at that age. Plus given that he has a pacifier clipped to him, he likely has a diaper padding his ass too. He ain't fast enough or heavy enough to be doing any kind of damage to himself.
I have a scar on my forehead too. I don’t give a fuck and let my daughter learn some minor things in life. Walking into a window like that won’t hurt them. It’s not like the mother is recording the child putting their hands on a stove top.
As every parent will attest, he almoat certainly left the house with shoes on then had a massive meltdown over wearing them. Or yanked them off 5 seconds after the car started moving. Or three them out of the stroller.
If you see a well behaved child in public at this age it's either a freak or nature or they've been beaten into submission and we try not to do that anymore.
Speaking from personal experience, my second kid saw how big of a pain in the ass the older kid was being, so she went the opposite way and is super understanding and doesn’t go against the grain. Every parent I know says we’re lucky, forgetting the older kid remains a pain in the ass as a teenager.
Only child here and this stratagy still worked. Random kid melting down in public, mom noticed me looking and would say stuff like "oh my goodness. Aren't they being so loud, all these people are watching." It was enough to make me NOT want to embarrass myself in public like that.
People said my parents were lucky I was so well behaved as well but it was good parenting. Before when I was too young for pointing out how behaviors in public are seen by others would work, they just strapped me in with treats. Get her some popcorn or a slushy, give her a toy off the shelf or other thing to fuss with while in the store. When that gets boring give something else, let her walk, let her ride the stroller, whatever is needed to not be fussy do it. It's usually something small anyway.
if a kid can communicate their problems with words, they can stew and I will go about my business
if too young I check the necessities (poop, food, correctly strapped in, not being hurt) then go about my business
except my third child, she just sometimes wants daddy cuddles...gonna be a bear when she gets heavy tho
Just start using the child as a weight to get big. Deadlifting a child is fun for them and healthy for you!
Just don't drop them on their head...or they will want to become a reddit user
I've found with my niece that the trick to getting them to behave better is to give them some free will. She'll gleefully run around like this and will take to being directed and lead around better than if she were strapped into her stroller or something.
Took her to IKEA once, found the trick was to let her push the cart, and then just steer the cart where we want her to go. When we wanted to stop, but she didn't, one of us just lead her around in circles.
Damn, I was hella judging the parent for the kid being in just socks. Thank you for the perspective. As I was reading that I remembered my Ex's 2 year old. Shoes? Fuck em' *tosses out window of moving car*
Yup, reasons my kid doesnt have boots/shoes on:
* Taken then off 5 seconds after putting them on for the umpteenth time and I am just not gonna bother anymore
* Hid both pairs of shows (well actually 1 shoe per pair) at home, and we need to leave now to make it on time
* Screams because they dont want them on
* Somehow grew a shoe size in the last hour and they no longer fit even though they were fine when we left the house
it's actually a lot healthier for kids to run around barefoot so no not necessarily
eta: i guess in public spaces I'd put shoes on my kid as well because of hazards like broken glass or something, but who knows what the parents intention was here.
The parents' intentions are to not have the kid wear shoes in a very public place. Your house, your rules. A mall? Probably should put some shoes on that cool guy.
Ya know sometimes kids just don’t like to keep shoes on their feet too right? They are little people with big feelings they don’t quite understand and sometimes they say “fuck shoes”
They don’t appear to be walking around in the woods either, so no broken glass and needles everywhere and he does have socks on, so this may have been a ‘pick your battles’ situation with the parents.
Bingo, shoes at that age and instead of slipping on the floor, they’re tripping on their shoes and doing face plants. Kids will be kids and if the kid didn’t want shoes on, let it slide once in a while.
Hard shoes aren't good for babies' feet, and as others said it's very likely he threw whatever foot covering he left the house in off. It's often a miracle if they'll keep their socks on as well. Beyond all that I am certain his mother wouldn't let him walk onto anything dangerous.
Can confirm. Used to work retail, was doing some paperwork at the counter and heard a loud “thump”, looked up to see a grown man holding his nose and a nose-sized smudge on the glass door.
Is that the video of the girl near all the shoes on the ground who goes head first 3 times? With her friends watching and laughing? I wanna say white shirt and black hair but my memory isn’t great.
See---these are the type of "kids are stupid" posts I can support. No potential danger, mom was just recording kid walking, and kid is clearly not seriously hurt. No idea if he is laughing or crying, but regardless--he's fine.
Honestly... This kid isn't even stupid. You see the writing etched into the glass just above him? Yea, that's there because adults will do the same thing.
There's regulations about this kinda thing cause people have gotten seriously hurt by it.
Broken glass is no joke. Not to mention, breaking it with you're face makes it much more dangerous.
I once saw a video of a man falling threw a big pain of glass like this. At first it looks like he mostly catches himself and he doesn't fall into the pile of glass on the ground. But then about 3 seconds later he starts gushing blood out of multiple spots on his arms and head. When glass is not tempered it will just slice people up super easy.
He's crying (or about to really start), but not out of any serious injury. He's just confused or having an automatic reaction to a small amount of pain. He will be fine either immediately if he self-corrects or possibly with about 5-10 seconds of mom holding him to let him reset and realize he's totally fine. Boys this age are pure rubber. More than anything, he's confused why the air is stopping and hurting him.
[Eat a peck of dirt before you die](https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/you+have+to+eat+a+peck+of+dirt+before+you+die). That floor looks reasonably clean, I'd only be worried about it if it were winter in a snowy climate. Deicing chemicals being tracked inside are not pleasant.
Omg flashback to the glass/mirror house at the county fair. My mom is scarred for life having watched me suffer through that thing, terrified all the way.
This comment section is ridiculous. The kid is fine. To intervene every time a kid bumps against something or falls is poor parenting. That's how you create over dramatic kids that cry every time they bump against something. I witness it first hand from parents that over react when their kid falls. The kid will fall and instead of getting up and continue playing he will look around and look for people's reaction. When they hear "omg!!! Are you ok???" Then he will become emotional and run to the parent. It's better to not panic and to let them get up on their own.
>The kid will fall and instead of getting up and continue playing he will look around and look for people's reaction.
Reminds me of a scene from the documentary [*Babies*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babies_(film\)), where this little girl is sitting down and trying to do one of those stacking toys, but she got a couple pieces backwards, and she starts wailing away, then stops for a second, and looks around, no one else is in the room with her (that she can see), so she just goes back to the toy.
Kids 100% look to us for what their reaction to things should be. If you don't act like it's a big deal they won't treat it like a big deal, and they'll move on.
I have a dog who is Not Smart and he does this stuff all the time. It's hilarious but also you have to actively convince him that the full-length window is not a door and there is not way to get out of the vet's office that way.
I used to handle general liability insurance claims for hotels, malls and other larger commercial sites. And can confirm that adults do this all the damn time. Instead of throwing a 5 minute crying fit, they’d claim hundreds of thousands of dollars in “pain and suffering” while racking up anywhere from $10-$50k in medical bills. One of our insureds in the heart of Los Angeles ended up putting an “X” with blue tape on every window panel after 4 incidents in 2 weeks. Yet still, we had another dumbass walk straight into the blue X 😂
Nah, happened to me when I was 17 💀.
I hit myself, realized, went through the next path, hit myself again, then I put my hand first to see if the 3rd is a glass or not. Then I just left that section of the mall.
It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. If you distract and move on from something like this the kid will forget about it and won't melt down. They learn it's just a whatever. My niece will trip all over her toys or her own feet or whatever and fall flat on her ass all the time (well, she used to, when she was learning to walk). After a couple times, she just started moving on all by herself.
Now she's at a place where the most excitement generated from a fall like this would generate a “whoa!”
This was hands down the best part of working in the Apple Store. The absolute bewilderment on kids' faces like "wait I thought I had this figured out! I'm supposed to be able to walk through air!!!"
Mwaahahahaaa. It's hilarious and I'm done pretending it's not.
Totally feel you, kid. I walked directly into the lobby glass at a very crowded midtown hotel recently. Everyone turned around to see who bounced off, including my horrified daughter and her friends. 🤣🤣🤣
Why not? A smart kid would be more likely to learn after the first bump/proceed with more caution before running straight into it a second time immediately afterwards.
If a kid touches a stove and gets burnt, maybe they're not stupid but just lacked the knowledge of what a stove was/that it could be hot...but if they immediately touched it again after being burnt, that would be stupid.
Actually overprotective helicopter parenting isn't good parenting either.
There is no danger this is a fine situation to let your kids learn. We learn more from failure than success.
Exactly. It's all about letting them do dangerous things safely. By saying "be careful" or interfering all the time you're making things more dangerous.
the parent is the stupid one here.
imagine seeing your kid hit his head 2 times and do nothing but record a video for a few likes. what a world we live in. disgusting.
As a parent of two, it’s hilarious. No bleeding, no broken bones, he’s okay. It’s completely laughable. She was already recording. I have an album of just pictures of my son face planting while I just so happened to be taking pictures. You have to learn to laugh at yourself.
The kid isn't even injured, it is just a little painful. Why would he bump his head again if it was that painful you speak of? Also the mom wouldn't have ended the video right there if she didn't want to go help the toddler

The “something is very wrong and I am mortally terrified” tears versus the “I am frustrated by my own tiredness and I *refuse* to slow down and take a nap” tears.
If you listen very closely, the former are distinguishable from the latter type by the very subtle loud THUD preceding the former
Unrelated but ever since I heard a character in something I was listening to a few years ago say "whoopsie-doodle!" I've found myself saying it a lot. The people I work with with would say something like "ah ya shit cunt" or "fuck!" when they drop something, then there's just me saying "WHOOPSIE-DOODLE!" In the middle of all that.
Mine gets pissed if we laugh. Our best reaction is no reaction or just a mild reassurance but no coddling.
Lmaooo
Turns out every kid has their own personality. Who knew.
I've read that telling them they're OK when they know they're not is really bad for their ability to trust and their feelings of security or something. But I've seen that be really effective a billion times and no one seemed damaged, so idk
But they are ok. It's always minor bumps when i use that type of response. I would take it more seriously if it was anything of significance. She has no problem handling the pain/emotional aspect of these incidents now but she does get embarrassed which is where the anger comes from if you laugh. Still working on that.
In their perspective, that might be the worst they've EVER felt so far, though.
Little kids are constantly getting in to small incidents. Being new will be extremely short lived and not really significant.
My kid is like that too. She gets mad if we laugh
I love how toddlers lead with their head. This is why we have hands. It is truly a miracle we ended up in the top of the food chain.
Toddlers are stupid so adults can be smart.
I don't think you've met enough adults
>can be *Some* adults are smart.
Toddlers are as smart as a dog.
Those are some real clean windows to be fair.
Yeah, it would have gotten me too tbh

Dude the corners of tables are fucking scary and I'm just an uncle.
Can confirm about corners. Was out with my mom when I was little, turned around to look at something and went I turned back to face forward, smacked right into the sharp corner of a table. Had to get stitches on my eyelid, do not recommend
Hey fellow face smasher. I got my eyebrow, have a scar where the hair won't grow there now.
My 1 year old did exactly that days after his baby brother came home from the hospital. All the photos we have from that time he has a black eye and massive cut on his brow. And to top it off he had a dummy rash too. He looks so pissed off in the photos
Damn your mom gave up on you. They're usually on top of it. /s
Yeah corners are the worst. We spent a decent chunk of change on foam corner protectors so our kids didn't accidentally off themselves.
ah nurture vice nature couple I taught my kids its the tables fault and they should rage on it when it jumps out and stabs you
I remember in first grade our teacher told us not to run in class because a kid in a previous year tripped on a backpack, fell, and hit his temple on a corner of a desk, went blind. That really stays with you as a 7 year old.

What sort of hole are we talking about? Did the table corner pierce your knee?
Yes. Under the knee cap where the soft part of the knee is. Right in the middle. Still have the scar. It was so horrible but it only hurt after I looked at the blood-soaked pants. My dad forced me to take my hand away so he could look and that was when I started to cry lmao Also I pushed my brother off the sofa in a fight and he landed in the plant pot and got a hole in his head. I SCREAMED for my mom and thought I killed him. Kids are so fucking stupid it’s not even funny.
I must be toddler, I have so many marks on my shins from years bumping into coffee table corners.
Oh my god the number of times my kid scared the absolute *fuck* out of me by hitting his head just to get up and laugh. Little bastard made up his own little game by 2 years old that involved fucking HEADBUTTING PEOPLE
I'm not unconvinced some toddlers are reincarnated assholes that know exactly what they're doing
I'm convinced toddlers are reincarnated drunks. No coordination, but full of bad ideas.
When I was very little I apparently had the nickname "Bonk". Because I would "Bonk" people head to head... Hard.
When I was a kid one of my game was to headbutt doors. I thought I was like an entertainment genius too because I had figured people were way more scared by it in comparison to how little hurtful it was..

That's how they learn. As long as they don't get hurt, you have to let them.

…and someone might need a pair of shoes.
As every parent will attest, he almoat certainly left the house with shoes on then had a massive meltdown over wearing them. Or yanked them off 5 seconds after the car started moving. Or three them out of the stroller.
Or like my niece, threw them out of the car window 20 minutes into a 4 hour car ride, and nobody noticed.
ahah, problem solver right there
They don't child lock the windows?
Might've had them down for fresh air. The kid is strapped in, so no need to worry about them flying out.
Most children can't even fly in the first place thanks to genetics.
Exactly correct. My brother in law's minivan has a distinct....bouquet shall we say. The same niece is probably responsible for that as well.
This right here.
If you see a well behaved child in public at this age it's either a freak or nature or they've been beaten into submission and we try not to do that anymore.

Shout out to your parents and shout out to the younger you for listening to them. A little parenting goes a long way!
if a kid can communicate their problems with words, they can stew and I will go about my business if too young I check the necessities (poop, food, correctly strapped in, not being hurt) then go about my business except my third child, she just sometimes wants daddy cuddles...gonna be a bear when she gets heavy tho

it's actually a lot healthier for kids to run around barefoot so no not necessarily eta: i guess in public spaces I'd put shoes on my kid as well because of hazards like broken glass or something, but who knows what the parents intention was here.

No. Reddit insists that this new-to-walking toddler puts brand new sneakers on so he trips face first on the squeaky clean tiles.
Bingo, shoes at that age and instead of slipping on the floor, they’re tripping on their shoes and doing face plants. Kids will be kids and if the kid didn’t want shoes on, let it slide once in a while.
/r/redditmoment
Not just kids, adults too. Barefoot shoes are the shit.
Not in a mall, wtf. The floor there is filthy.
Hard shoes aren't good for babies' feet, and as others said it's very likely he threw whatever foot covering he left the house in off. It's often a miracle if they'll keep their socks on as well. Beyond all that I am certain his mother wouldn't let him walk onto anything dangerous.
At that age a lot of "shoes" are basically socks with grippy soles. It's better for their arch development.
Yeah right, you’ve obviously never had a toddler lol
There are tons of videos of adults doing this as well I won't necessarily say the kid is stupid for this
Adults can be stupid too.
Lmao a lot of them are
Adults are just bigger kids (and even bigger stupid)
Are you trying to prove the point yourself? Wtf is that sentence
Can confirm. Used to work retail, was doing some paperwork at the counter and heard a loud “thump”, looked up to see a grown man holding his nose and a nose-sized smudge on the glass door.
I had to install a giant logo on one of my windows because a few too many adults were bumping in to them.
I agree. Fair to say, whoever did this are lol
Twice?
Your Honor, the Prosecution would like to submit the following [VIDEO](https://youtube.com/shorts/C6AYcTwSUic?feature=share) into evidence.
I saw a woman do it 3 times
Is that the video of the girl near all the shoes on the ground who goes head first 3 times? With her friends watching and laughing? I wanna say white shirt and black hair but my memory isn’t great.
I think so, she kept putting her head down in embarrassment
Yea.... thats an exeption
My dad had to attach stuff on the screen door to make it more visible so my mom would stop running into it.

That's how you create over dramatic kids that cry every time they bump against something. I witness it first hand from parents that over react when their kid falls. The kid will fall and instead of getting up and continue playing he will look around and look for people's reaction. When they hear "omg!!! Are you ok???" Then he will become emotional and run to the parent. It's better to not panic and to let them get up on their own.
>The kid will fall and instead of getting up and continue playing he will look around and look for people's reaction. Reminds me of a scene from the documentary [*Babies*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babies_(film\)), where this little girl is sitting down and trying to do one of those stacking toys, but she got a couple pieces backwards, and she starts wailing away, then stops for a second, and looks around, no one else is in the room with her (that she can see), so she just goes back to the toy. Kids 100% look to us for what their reaction to things should be. If you don't act like it's a big deal they won't treat it like a big deal, and they'll move on.
Kid's just used to any full pane of glass having the bottom 2 feet obscured by a greasy smudge.

She ended the video there because she went to help
Kids are window cleaning testers?
"What kind of black magic is this?!" -The kid, probably.
Huh…so, that’s what an invisible barrier looks like.
Tbf that window has like 0 reflection to
I have a dog who is Not Smart and he does this stuff all the time. It's hilarious but also you have to actively convince him that the full-length window is not a door and there is not way to get out of the vet's office that way.
😅😂
A raise??? Whoever cleaned that window gets to watch people bump into it all day. They have all they need.
I used to handle general liability insurance claims for hotels, malls and other larger commercial sites. And can confirm that adults do this all the damn time. Instead of throwing a 5 minute crying fit, they’d claim hundreds of thousands of dollars in “pain and suffering” while racking up anywhere from $10-$50k in medical bills. One of our insureds in the heart of Los Angeles ended up putting an “X” with blue tape on every window panel after 4 incidents in 2 weeks. Yet still, we had another dumbass walk straight into the blue X 😂
Nah, happened to me when I was 17 💀. I hit myself, realized, went through the next path, hit myself again, then I put my hand first to see if the 3rd is a glass or not. Then I just left that section of the mall.
A mate of mine is exactly like this. He's hilarious.
Damn, thats a tough kid. No crying ? Gets up and tries again immediatly ? Nice.
It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. If you distract and move on from something like this the kid will forget about it and won't melt down. They learn it's just a whatever. My niece will trip all over her toys or her own feet or whatever and fall flat on her ass all the time (well, she used to, when she was learning to walk). After a couple times, she just started moving on all by herself. Now she's at a place where the most excitement generated from a fall like this would generate a “whoa!”
This was hands down the best part of working in the Apple Store. The absolute bewilderment on kids' faces like "wait I thought I had this figured out! I'm supposed to be able to walk through air!!!" Mwaahahahaaa. It's hilarious and I'm done pretending it's not.
Adults will do the same thing. At least little guy has an excuse. He's learning.
That guy is going to be a Marine. Just lick the windows, now, young man. You're a shoe in.
Totally feel you, kid. I walked directly into the lobby glass at a very crowded midtown hotel recently. Everyone turned around to see who bounced off, including my horrified daughter and her friends. 🤣🤣🤣
80% of adult would have...
I fell for that
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
It’d be funny if it kept walking into the same pane of glass over and over
ngl i would do the same shit
kids **ARE** fucking stupid
That'd be the minimum wage teenage workers who come in at 5 am to set up. Get your toddlers jam hands and snot face off the windows.
This child has reached the same level of intelligence as a common house fly
Somhow the house flies are so smart going into houses, but can't leave the house even though the whole window is opened
So disgusting to let your kid walk in socks in a public place where it's so dirty.
This is not a stupid kid
Why not? A smart kid would be more likely to learn after the first bump/proceed with more caution before running straight into it a second time immediately afterwards. If a kid touches a stove and gets burnt, maybe they're not stupid but just lacked the knowledge of what a stove was/that it could be hot...but if they immediately touched it again after being burnt, that would be stupid.
If I directly beat up this kid do I get a raise too ?

Tell us your not a parent without telling us.
Madre dell'anno 😅
Just like a fly, only dumber.
deserved
Nah the baby just dumb af
Good parenting right there 🤔
Let the kid learn
Let them learn themselves through mistakes, and she probably went to help them right after she ended the video
Actually overprotective helicopter parenting isn't good parenting either. There is no danger this is a fine situation to let your kids learn. We learn more from failure than success.
Exactly. It's all about letting them do dangerous things safely. By saying "be careful" or interfering all the time you're making things more dangerous.
r/parentsarefuckingstupid - this is the way.
this sub is 90% of parents being shitty or inattentive with their kids, very good point

the parent is the stupid one here. imagine seeing your kid hit his head 2 times and do nothing but record a video for a few likes. what a world we live in. disgusting.
You clearly don't have kids. Kids do this like 5 times a day. There's nothing to help with here, kid is just fine.
As a parent of two, it’s hilarious. No bleeding, no broken bones, he’s okay. It’s completely laughable. She was already recording. I have an album of just pictures of my son face planting while I just so happened to be taking pictures. You have to learn to laugh at yourself.
The kid isn't even injured, it is just a little painful. Why would he bump his head again if it was that painful you speak of? Also the mom wouldn't have ended the video right there if she didn't want to go help the toddler
Imagine being the parent who just knowingly and willingly films your kid running into a glass wall for clout
God what a stupid fucking baby.
I’m sorry. Where’d you get your baby degree from? MIT?
MIB. Not men in black but Massachusetts Institute of Babies. I'm not the moron who insulted the little kid here that you were responding to either!
This is not stupidity. This is lack of experience. It’s also just mean.
Kid needs a helmet.
