The priceless look on that mother's face as she realizes her child is retarded.

I have a feeling that that kid's going to get that look a lot from his mom...

The look on the Mom's face is priceless. At least she knows her son's an idiot.

Dad is an a fucking moron.

[–]BlazeOrangeDeer -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think he reacted pretty quickly, anyone would have assumed the kid was going to blow on it and not swallow it, at least for a moment

[–]babycheeses -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sorry, not buying it. You dont give your 1 year old the physcial freedom to reach an open flame. Leaning him in with your hand on his chest is prudent -- for exactly this reason.

[–]RetlaOge 1 point2 points ago

You're reposting it wrong! No seriously, you're supposed to wait a few weeks.

[–]VJohns11 4 points5 points ago

He's young. He was excited about eating cake & thought the candles were edible. Based on his reaction though I'd say the cry was more out of being scared and disappointed he couldn't have cake than actually being burned.

[–]De_Lille_D 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why did the dad have that reaction? I would have grabbed a drink.

[–]ballpein 0 points1 point ago

Yeah thats the most inept bit of parenting I've ever seen.

[–]Realworld 1 point2 points ago

All of these comments about the kid getting burned. You don't know what would have happened because you lack the curiosity to find out for yourself.

They should have let him do it. It's good to encourage exploring the world. That's how you learn.

It wouldn't have hurt him and it would have been just unpleasant enough to discourage him from doing it again.

For those who don't like to experiment: the trick is wet your palate and quickly close your lips around the candle or match. The flames own carbon monoxide will immediately snuff it out before burning your mouth. Pause for drama, withdraw the extinguished match, and blow a smoke ring.

For some reason his reaction made me really, really sad

[–]Texas03 -4 points-3 points ago

I think he might end up a gay, especially if he's ever changing in a boys locker room.

[–]WarPhalange 4 points5 points ago

I think people have no idea what you are saying and it is their loss. I found your comment hilarious.

[–]Texas03 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thanks, glad to know I have a soulmate in the sense of humor department. I don't get how you have 5 upvotes and I have 6 downvotes. Maybe they hate Texas?

[–]WarPhalange 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The way I see it, sine I have RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) is that you have 8 up and 14 down. I don't remember what it was when I posted, but it's possible we both got upvotes, just that the people beforehand who downvoted you outweigh them still. Them's the breaks. Don't take it too hard. Sometimes you just run into assholes. The internet is a big place, and if even only 10% of the population are assholes, that's still a lot of assholes by sheer volume.

[–]Texas03 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So people make multiple accounts just to upvote things? I had no idea how said this place was...

[–]WarPhalange 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What? No. Well, maybe some do, but that's not what I mean. RES let's you see how many upvotes and how many downvotes you have, more or less. It might be off by a bit, but it is about right.

I'm saying maybe originally you were at -15, but now people voted you up to -7. You're still in the shitter, but at least you're better off.

Sincere question. Is he mentally challenged?

[–]Aurora_B 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think so, I think he might have seen someone go toward it to blow it out, but didn't actually ever see them blow on it so he did what he assumed would have happened. I don't know, its a thought.
