I was singing to my daughter when she was around that age and told me to stop singing. I asked why and she told me, because you can’t
3 year olds are brutal. Sweet and innocent, with opinions based on little, and zero tact.
My two year old’s best friend is a three year old… Jfc it’s like watching innocence and insanity play together. I love her friend but damn she’s brutal. While my girl is still a bit too small to be hurt or angry about mistreatment and lets so much slide. And in a year my forgiving two year old will be this intimidating mess.
My mother didn’t even bother singing to me. She knew better. She’s almost completely tone deaf.
Forcing my fetus to listen to cbat. Fuck you little shit. You going to hate me, ill give you something to hate me for!
I read this as “listen to chat” and decided that twitch has gone too far
Fetus listens to TTS, but I abort every time chat talks about Logan Paul
Add a thumbnail of a cut-through, sad looking Logan Paul, a dead baby, the streamer face-palming and the LOL emote. Easy 20 million views
Fucking cbat. Lmao
That’s baby making music.
This is as inhumane as it is inappropriate.
Ah, new prologue to “Making a Murderer” just dropt
Your child will grow up to be a sad clown.
That’s just animal abuse.
The original You Are My Sunshine had something ridiculous like 48 verses many of which have been lost and it went on for twelve minutes. Though I forget where I read that, and I can’t find it again, so it may have been some kind of weird fever dream.
a 3 year old? That Happened.
You’ve obviously never met a three year old

That’s not a song that should be sung to kids
People should sing whatever songs they want to their kids. Kids understand that the lyrics aren’t necessarily supposed to be taken literally or even applied to them; kids just like the attention and how relaxing it is to listen to the most comforting voices they know sing songs that they love.
My wife sang our kids “You Are My Sunshine” and “Puff the Magic Dragon.” I sang them love songs, break-up songs, songs about death, and everything in between. The only difference in our day-to-day life and personalities is that they are developing great taste in music and that I spent much more time singing to them than I would have had I been bored to tears singing “appropriate” songs.
Me: you are my sunshine…
My kid: I’m a star?! That makes no sense, what even is your stupid song.
And moreover, I’m YOUR star? What is this capitalist bullshit, should everyone have their own star now, can’t we just share 1 absurdly massive pile of hydrogen? Damnit, wish I was born in the East. Bunch of loonatics here.
Meanwhile in the East - What te fuck mom… WHO do you say is our frickin’ star…?
I’ve only ever heard the first part sung. The second verse being sad feels more like a fun fact to me than anything.
The third verse seems like a thinly veiled threat to me:
I’ll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same,
But if you leave me to love another,
You’ll regret it all some day.
Damn, that song is vicious and exactly what a baby needs to hear to be ready for the world.
It’s clearly about romantic love. Don’t think that’s right
Really?
The first verse:
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
But when I woke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried
I always took it to mean the person is mourning the loss of a loved one and they dreamed they were still alive.
Also, I once heard that this song was about a horse named Sunshine. 🤷♂️
It goes on like this:
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you’ve left me and love another
You have shattered all of my dreamsSo it’s really about a break up
But maybe they broke up with a horse, don’t judge.
That’s nothing. Have you heard about the song we song to babies about them falling to their death out of a tree?
Yeah alright, a three year old already knows to hate. Yeah.
Bruh, have you never met a child? Hate is one of the first things kids learn.
At three, I hated lots of things. Girls, Brussels sprouts, wasps, Darth Vader, and taking baths.
I’m glad you had such a sheltered life.
But how did you feel about sand?
I love it! It exfoliates my feet, I use it to make little sand castles and other sculptures, and it cleans off of my stuff with just a little spray of water!
Could this have been at all motivated by spite of Darth Vader?
Could be, as I had, and still have, a giant ceramic Vader ‘lamp’ that scared the fuck out of me as a kid, hence the hate, and not just because he’s a dick in Star Wars.
Granted that would mean I was clairvoyant as a kid, given that the hatred of sand wasn’t known until 20+ years later. MAYBE I AM FORCE SENSITIVE!
Look at this rich kid wasting water, where did they raise you, on Naboo?
Wait, you guys remember when you were three?
Just today my 3yo has hated: dance class, her sister, and carrots.
She loves them now though. They’re a fickle bunch.
Carrots are many a childs’ first scathing hatred.
At 3, I already had a kid I hated. I know this because apparently I saw him one day, made sure to point him out to my parents and blatantly told them I hate him. At least that’s how my mom tells it.
3 yo me was right to hate that kid. From age 3 to senior year, that kid was a Grade A douchebag.
Yeah, generally. Is ‘terrible twos’ a saying in your area? It is in mine. Toddlers suck.
Okay
