My daughter just learned how to walk. Asked if she was ready for the mines. I said she had to wait until she wasn't wearing a diaper.

She questioned me " why? The men that make the laws saying I need to work the mines wear diapers?" - me " well bc I said so"

I can't believe I lost an argument to a 3 year old.

She only learned how to walk at 3 years old?

u/westberry82 Sep 11 '23

Yeah. She was born without legs only a tail. Then we prayed and she grew legs and the tail fell off. Life's a miracle huh?

You should have just prayed for more tails.

What's a miracle is how you wrote that with a straight face thinking anyone would buy your bullshit. Cute story but that's an old joke- also 1) why you putting your 3 year-old up for job postings... in mines? 2) she's handicapped so learnt to talk late (according to your your life story), yet she has the intellect and reasoning skills of grown adult? 3) if you need your three-year old in the mines to make ends meet, I sure hope as fuck you don't have TV or other "luxuries" like radio laying around so she could understand politics before w......

Before......

Oh wow i'm the idiot lol. I missed a line in your reply and to me it totally read like you were trying to sell this thing off and everyone was jumping on-board for some fabricated happy story.

I learnt how silk was made today man, I'm ready to take life on, headstrong.

Yes to both. Lol. Thanks for being chill! I debated deleting the rant before posting then I thought it wouldn't be fair to rob the world of something so gloriously dumb

At least your daughter is smarter than your dumb ass. I called that a win if I’ve ever seen one.
