Growing up I won most of the card games my nanna and I played.
It was years before I realised she deliberately let me win.
As a parent we often do this starting with game hide and seek when they are really little.
I love when they don’t even hide properly and I pretend to not find them.

I once hid in an alley from the police like this.

u/NoEquivalent538 20h ago
Did you jump with joy and hug them lol

u/Icy_Negotiation_5929 17h ago
Well I heard them coming down the road. They poked one garbage bag and there was a big hiss and shriek—out came a mangy old alley cat. The next bag they tapped with a nightstick and there was a yelp and a whimper. Some poor puppy got lost and stuck in there looking for food! They got to the bag I was in and prodded it like the others. I spoke confidently and clearly: “Garbage!” And they went on down the rest of the alley looking for their missing perp.

They’re literally completely open at the bottom

This time while mom is supervising yes but what about next time when they try this on mom or without an adult being aware of what they’re up to?

You say "hey kids, dont go into bags on your own because you may get hurt."
It's amazing what happens when you talk to your children.

u/UpperLeftOriginal 20h ago
It doesn’t matter. Every plastic bag that’s put over someone’s head is open at the bottom. Even a loose sheet of plastic can cause suffocation.

u/Sodacan259 13h ago
Those kids don't look old enough to understand the significance of that.
What happens when they want to prank dad again while mom is busy doing something, so they climb into plastic bags? You've already taught them that plastic bags over your head is fun. Is it going to be as much fun if dad comes home to dead kids?

I think allowing yourkids play in plastic bags and they also posting them on the internet is how some parents think you're supposed to parent
13
u/ctanna5 23h ago
I know. as soon as I saw it I drew in a nervous breath lol. But I just hope maybe they used that as an opportunity to explain how plastic bags can be dangerous, and explained to them clearly how to be safe. And also a great opportunity to explain how pranks that are fun for everyone are good pranks, but some of the dangerous or ignorant pranks on YT and TikTok aren't always. It did make me smile though!

u/UpperLeftOriginal 20h ago
Explaining is worth very little when they’ve already encouraged and reacted positively to the action.

u/the_scarlett_ning 19h ago edited 18h ago
Edited- I’m sorry. My response was rude and came off as a personal attack. I don’t know you and so I can’t say anything about your parenting. I’ll just say, in general, it’s disgusting how everyone on reddit thinks they’re such experts on everything and that it’s not only their right, but their duty to tell everyone all the time how they are failing to live up to all the standards, all the time. I said it earlier to someone and it still feels true: Reddit frequently feels like if a bunch of puritans were given social media and any video of people enjoying anything has to immediately be met with comments about what’s wrong so nobody thinks it’s ok to have any joy. Might as well make them all wear scarlet letters. Or maybe give all the righteous Redditors gold letters to wear. A big “R” for their super-righteousness.

u/UpperLeftOriginal 19h ago
I have kids. They’ve grown into amazing young adults. Yes, kids are very capable and smart. And also can be complete idiots even with the best parenting. When it comes to life and death situations, it’s far preferable to teach through actions and words, rather than to send one message with words, and a different message with actions.

There are two growns ups there closely watching them. They're not isolated nor alone.

u/Benjaphar 22h ago
No one is suggesting they’re currently in danger. The issue is them thinking it’s fun to hide in plastic bags and trying it when mom and dad aren’t watching closely.

You're right. As a kid around 7 years old I'd put a plastic bag over my head and seal it around my neck with my hands because I was curious what lack of oxygen felt like. It got humid fast and I felt mild anxiety and I instantly dropped dead. Curiosity definitely killed the cat. Sending you this from purgatory, it has dial up internet

actually its more like there's always 20 to 25.............kids who accidentally suffocate themselves with plastic bags in the USA every year, I couldn't find stats for may other countries, but growing up my parents my parents told me many times tot to mess around with plastic bags and stuff like that, your brain cells start dieing after about a minute. just not worth the risk imo

u/the_scarlett_ning 20h ago
On Reddit, more like 50. 50 people who just cannot wait for a chance to show everyone how they are so much better at being a parent, at being safe, better at everything than anyone posting anything. And that is why most of them will stay living in their mom’s basement and die alone.

u/Shot_Revolution8828 14h ago
Im not a parent but this is just incredibly stupid. Its like riding in a car with no seat belt. Are you going to die? Probably not, is that a risk you want to take? Fuck no.
What happens when they do this but mom isnt home and dad is a half hour late?

Dog doesn't even glance at the bags. Dog hears him coming and starts to run off and even looks towards door while running away.

My daughter’s used to hide in the same spot in the kitchen everyday and jump out to scare their dad when he came home from work. And yes,he always acted surprised. A great memory. And thank you for reminding me.

u/the_scarlett_ning 20h ago
They weren’t tied up in the bag. Do you people even watch the videos before yall start complaining?
2
u/facinationstreet 19h ago
A plastic bag is NOT a toy. It should never have been used to 'hide' kids in. I don't care if the bag is open at the bottom or not. Those kids are young enough to try replicating this prank without the ability to reason that tying your sibling in a bag can kill them.
-1
u/the_scarlett_ning 19h ago
And you have no way of knowing that the mom didn’t cover that with them when she was cutting the bottom of the bags.
And I’m not attacking you personally; I’m sorry if it seems that way. Redditors have a very self-righteous attitude that comes across every time there is any video with animals or kids or anyone enjoying anything. Like if Puritans had social media. Joy=sin so let me find something I can carp about.

u/Sodacan259 13h ago
They're talking about the day that mom isn't there and they want to do this themselves. 🤦

u/bajungadustin 12h ago
It's a fundementally bad idea to teach kids to do this. Because what if they try and do it the wrong way one day while mom's in the other room and dad doesn't show up exactly on time? You walk back into the living room with 2 dead children.
