I have a friend whose child is attending daycare for the first time. Since he's nearly three and this is all new, he's understandably had a little trouble adjusting to the change. After a particularly rough day that required an early pick-up, I asked my friend what his son had done that caused the daycare to text him in a panic.
DAD: "He was just crying a lot."
ME: "But kids cry sometimes. Your daycare provider can't handle that?"
DAD: "Apparently not. She said she's never seen a child do that before. But I think, since you work with kids all day, surely you can imagine a child doing that. It's conceivable."
And then he gave the greatest, most bizarre example ever.
DAD: "I mean, it's a kid crying. It's not like you saw a squirrel pick up a tire."
Indeed.
