    Humans are pretty bad at communication and there are a bunch of different ways a joke like that could have landed and it’s all dependent on the people involved.

    One person’s joke to gently point out that their kid is probably grabbing too much stuff can easily be another person’s brusque and dismissive comment about their kid being lazy.

    I’m sorry that your feelings were hurt by your mom.





  • when I was a kid. I was helping bring in the groceries and was carrying as much as I could (which was a lot, but obviously not more than I could handle)

    Y’know that children are notoriously bad at judging things like that, right? Obviously I don’t know the guy, but I would have easily said this as a joke at how many things my kid was trying to carry at once even though that ups the odds of dropping and breaking things.
