i dig the kid’s energy, but maybe Valerie needs to let the lad out of the house a bit
Disney was never for the kids, it’s for the parents to brag that they took their kids there.
The vast majority of kids need very little to be entertained.
Use that money to take time off work and hang out with them more
I definitely remember those trips and cherish them. I didn’t get to go until I was a bit older and those first few times were absolutely incredible. That’s an incredibly cynical take tbh. Some people just want to share the things they loved with their kids. Reducing it down to “they just want to brag” just sounds very bitter.
What is it with kid’s and garbage trucks?
Like it’s right up there with “HORSEY!” amd Firetrucks in terms of “kid wamt ride”
As an adult man, I can say that whenever i have the chance, i watch the garbage truck pick up dumpsters, empty bins, operate the hydraulics etc.
As a kid, I used to wait for the garbage truck at the window and excitedly wave at the workers when they did their job. I was a huge fan.
Here in Germany, we celebrate the OG version of Santa, St. Nicholas who will tally up if you’ve been a good kid and give you sweets (usually someone from the local church will dress up as St. Nicholas and visit the houses of those who requested it and do a little show with poems and all that) on Dec 6th. Kids usually get chocolate figures of St. Nicholas for that day.
So one Dec 6th, the (mostly Muslim mind you) garbage workers rang at our door and gave me this chocolate Nicholas and a bunch of sweets and all because every time they went by our house, I’d make their day with my excitement about their usually looked down upon job.
Message is: thank the trash collectors every once in a while. You’d drown in filth without them.
