issue: the kittens are still trying to learn words. gus knows his name and daisy knows hers, but they don’t seem to quite grasp that when I say “babies!” im referring to both of them.
hypothesis: “babies” is too similar to “daisy” and they’re getting confused
test: start saying “gamers” instead
Outcome: they’re understanding it and it’s hysterically funny
interesting how kindergarten kids naturally respect and adore blue collar workers to the point where toy garbage trucks, construction vehicles and the like are a common sight in childrens bedrooms, but only a couple years older they've already had that very thoroughly taught out of them. replaced by a worldview of arrogance towards the lowly, unaccomplished and uneducated who serve as living cautionary tales of what happens if youre too lazy or too stupid to study hard. some very unbiased educating at play to foster the next year of adults who see nothing wrong with the people performing the most vital tasks in a society being the ones who scrape by on starvation wages and backbreaking work hours
