Very nice. But I did have to remind myself of this after it...

I'm surprised she didn't get a superbowl spot. I dunno, I give the edge to one of her contemporaries. It's sincere and I can really feel the emotion.

Interesting. The first is a Stoic, the other two Hedonists (although the waffle aficionado seems ready to try a different philosophy). Which one seems happiest?

Quite powerful. Once babies are born, each parent is either an Atlas holding up the earth, or something very different.

Yeah, Julie, mine's not so much a philosopher, but uncoached and thoughtful about her obsession. I think most or many know the video, but she seemed eerily mature, cognizant of her addiction. And it made me laugh.

Yes, the first was cool  , the second and third were in a frightful flap  . But nobody should actually eat in those establishments, anyway. Homecooking is almost always better. Though the second toddler didn't care for her mom's cooking, apparently.

I’ve seen the video Julie posted and was astonished by it — and I've witnessed a few melt-downs like those Mark and James posted. Once, my two-year old daughter stripped all her clothes off in a supermarket aisle and had to be carried out to the car naked, all because I put my foot down and wouldn't buy her something she wanted to have (I can't remember what it was — it could have been anything).
Most often young children learn through the process of observation/imitation/emulation, mirroring emotions, mannerisms and language of their parents’/adult caregivers. Tienna (Julie’s video) has channelled her mother, I think. It’s really quite beautiful.
Here is how easily children can be influenced/manipulated by adults. I don’t know if I should be offended by it or give in to my baser instincts and guffaw at a child’s gullible nature. I guess there’s room for both. I laughed.
Still, there is a resilience to children… Thankfully. Most children have a fairly high threshold for weathering the well-meaning but ill-advised parental shaping of their offspring — Larkin’s “This Be The Verse” being the definitive word on the subject.
