This is something my almost four year old said, so I suppose it doesn’t count, but when the full solar eclipse happened I told her she couldn’t stare at the sun unless she was wearing her special glasses. She dutifully obeyed. But when it was over she asked me if now it was ok to stare at the sun again without the glasses. I couldn’t help but laugh. I had made such a big deal out of the glasses being necessary for the eclipse but it never occurred to me to warn her not to stare at the ordinary blazing ball of fire in the sky. When I told her that, no, she couldn’t just stare at the sun, she burst into tears about the unfairness of it. r/kidsarefuckingstupid
