    They were surprised that giving their child something physical to do was good for them. Something outside, dirty, and taking a lot of energy. That’s an important lesson, nowadays when do much of parenting is indoors and on tablets.

    That’s the lesson. All you dumb fucks are missing it and it’s really blowing my mind that you think the kid was literally sitting doing nothing up until mom gave him a shovel. Not reading, not doing homework, not playing games, just sitting and not doing a damn thing.

    It’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard of. And it’s pissing me off that our society could produce such stupid people.

      That’s not at all how we were interpreting this, and I don’t know how you decided we were.
