    1. I mean, child is clearly asking “why’s that basket there and is anything interesting in it?”

      This isn’t hard!

    2. Im in this comic, and i did not consent to have my or my child’s image published in such a way.

    3. she didnt answer the question. the kid was asking what defines a basket? what makes it a basket and not just a bowl or a cup?

      (I think its just the handle, so bowl + handle = basket? that also defines a bucket though? is a bucket = basket?)

    4. Sounds like conversations I have with my 3yo;

      Son: Look, dad, red car!

      Me: Wow, it *is* a red car, bud.

      S: No dad, issa *red* car.

      M: That’s what I said mate, it’s a red car.

      S: No dad! *Red car!*

      M: I agree, the car is red.

      S: NO DAD! RED CAR! NAUGHTY!

      M: 🤦‍♂️

      Mum: Hey buddy, is that a red car?

      S: Yeah mum, red car.

      Me: 😫

    5. The kid is asking about the essence of a basket. Similiar to greek philosophers wondering about the essence of a cup. Is the cup the shape, material or the intended use. Is a bowl a cup? The list goes on and on.

      Issue is they don’t have the capacity or knowledge to articulate those questions. Sometimes comprehending the questions they feel is also too much.
      As a kid like in that comic I distinctly remember such thought processes. They usually made me go really tired. Like having a muscle sore in the brain for which you need to lie down and nap.

    6. Me, arguing with LLMs, when it doesn’t understand what the hell I want from it, even though I am super unclear and answer everything with “That’s not what I meant!”

      What is [a] basket?

      A basket is a container typically made by weaving materials like reeds, straw, or wood, used for carrying, storing, or organizing items.

      First kid:

      “Did you see that sign? What that sign say?”

      “I don’t know what sign you’re talking about, buddy.”

      “That sign.” pointing random direction not even remotely close to ground level).

      “THAT SIGN!!”

      “Please listen. Just because you see something does not mean that I can see it too. The rest of the world doesn’t se-”

      “THATSIGNTHATSIGNTHATSIGN! (begins crying)”

      Second kid

      “Did you see tha-”

      “Oh yeah! Super cool. Way to go.”
      (Satisfied noise from the backseat)

    10. Yesterday my 4 yo boy was chocking on a potato chip so I did the back slaps, gave him a drink straight from the bottle and shown him how to chew it until mush. I thought my job is done until he says he wants more drink so I started to pour it into cup and he screamed at me “no! From the bottle!”. I don’t want to encourage him to drink from a bottle that everyone is drinking from and I told him it was a one-off situation so I can pour it in a tea pot perhaps? He flipped for 10 minutes. I finally found an empty bottle and poured some into it and handled him “look, here’s your drink in a big bottle!” And he went into bigger tantrum “nooo!! I want the big bottle with a lot of drink!!”. He cried 20 minutes in total. One hour later he drank from the prepared bottle anyway.
