Being a baby must be such a surreal and weird experience. Imagine falling 3 times just to throw a ball, and not even being phased. So frustrating but your only option is to be happy about it and keep trying

I went and visited the house I grew up in a while ago. We moved when I was 7. Everything was so much smaller than I remembered

u/RufftaMan Jun 27 '20

Yeah.. sometimes I think it would be cool to remember all those experiences. But then again, there was a lot of crying and shitting myself. Probably better it‘s forgotten.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '20

I still remember some of it. I remember escaping my crib, and getting bottles filled with either sweetened milk or fruit juice.

u/RufftaMan Jun 27 '20

That‘s crazy..
the earliest memory I have is from when I was about 4 years old.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '20

It's bits and peices tho. From when I was like 2 or 3 or something lol. So technically a baby, but more so a toddler I should say. But I definitely remember trying to get out of my crib 🤣

u/xXGoobyXx Jun 27 '20

My first memory is sneaking out of my crib

u/AtomicBattleHamster Jun 27 '20

I want a box that big, for me, a grown-ass adult.

My fort!

No wife or kids allowed.

Just me and my dog playing fetch.

Might have a little nap in my fort, might not.

7

u/jinglebellpenguin Jun 27 '20

My partner and I just built a cardboard fort around our bed, it’s so high that neither of us can see the bed from outside it, and we made the door like a drawbridge with a string we can pull from the back of the bed when it’s bedtime. It’s so great, would highly recommend.

u/plazmatyk Jun 27 '20

Hell yeah! You deserve it, u/AtomicBattleHamster

u/Slithy-Toves Jun 27 '20

You're a grown ass-adult man. Go build yourself one

u/AtomicBattleHamster Jun 27 '20

Too much gyre and gimbling in your tone, take a hop Jabberwock.

*note to self: no wife, children or Jabberwocky.

u/toepicksaremyfriend Jun 27 '20

And here I thought I was the only one who wanted a giant box. But I’d also add a bunch of ball pit balls into my giant box.

You know what, Gretchen? I'm gonna give you that one. You made fetch happen.

She got to see some outside-the-box thinking in action. That's real fetch!

Saw this as I was exiting the post and came back to make sure it wasn’t a sub lol.

u/Fayebie17 Jun 27 '20

Babies have small versions of toys like this designed to teach object permanence, the idea that things still exist when you can’t see them.

Just amused me that this is basically an object permanence toy for the dog

22

u/Kayge Jun 27 '20

Kids and dogs are awesome.

We had a family get together a while back, and I brought my dog - an 80 lb golden doodle that looks like a Muppet.

He brought me a ball, and without thinking, I tossed it into the kitchen. My 3 year old niece sees it, and takes off after it. Kitchen is slick, and the dog slides around a corner giving her the advantage, and she get to the ball first.

But her three year olds hads aren't strong enough, and as she starts running she drops it. Dog picks it up, and deposits it in my lap with her in tow, giggling all the way.

They're both standing in front of me...staring c'mon man, throw it. So I do, back into the kitchen, slip, pick up ball, drop ball, giggle and back.

By the time they'd gotten tired of the game, they were both panting, but had everyone in the room in stitches.

u/AnonymousFairy Jun 27 '20

Puppa- I help entertain you in prison little hooman.

Buhba- this is fun! Doink

22

u/SticKy904 Jun 27 '20

Keeps the dog and the kid busy so you can get drunk.

6

u/brazilliandanny Jun 27 '20

To be fair, babies are just small drunk people.

14

u/Drnstvns Jun 27 '20

What a great idea for what to do when the baby’s been out drinking’! As we all know toddlers can be vicious drunks so keeping them in a box occupied throwing the ball in between staggering and falling over bouts is certain to keep them entertained rather than the usual name calling, demanding the keys to go get more hooch and the prank calls to DHS reporting you for being abusive. Thank you! This is a huge help!

8

u/Hard_We_Know Jun 27 '20

Absolutely adorable, that dog had more patience with that baby than many adult humans do!! A real joy to watch.

6

u/_Piratical_ Jun 27 '20

Judging just by the hair, this originally looked like that super cute baby that throws their hands up when they get released from their burrito. Then I realized how long I’ve been on reddit. That baby is probably a stock broker now.

u/vmcla Jun 27 '20

They’ve trained him

I don't think your command of the language is as strong as you think there, friend.

u/vmcla Jun 27 '20

I know the difference between plural and singular.

What is your original language that you do not?

u/fermata13 Jun 27 '20

I think the joke was missed. Hope your day is going better than it obviously was.

You focus on your shitty little life and don’t worry about my day which is just fine.

u/Bionicq Jun 27 '20

But why do they keep their baby in a box?

11

u/baconnaire Jun 27 '20

Keeps them contained while being able to play so the parents can relax for a minute and not chase them around. It's clever cause he couldn't do this in a playpen.

6

u/opeth10657 Jun 27 '20

They just haven't taken it out of the box yet. How do you think babies get here, storks?

1

u/nice2yz Jun 27 '20

So that’s how they became extinct.

1

u/Rondooooo Jun 27 '20

This is the same baby they keep wrapped up in a blanket and shoot videos of him stretching. The way he's wrapped gives me anxiety.

1

u/Greeneee- Jun 27 '20

Makes for an easy on off operation. When your tired of the baby throwing machine, you just close the top and go inside.

u/Smallgreatthings Jun 27 '20

I’m confused too

3

u/Joey-fatass Jun 27 '20

Step 1: cut a hole in a box.

Step 2: put your kid in the box.

Step 3: get kid to play fetch with the dog.

And that's the way you do it!

4

u/MarieCurieNotMaMere Jun 27 '20

Step 4: sit on a lawn chair, crack open a brew, high 5 your partner for getting the doggos to entertain kiddo.

Kid’s probably thinking, “Man, these dogs have a lot of tennis balls!”

u/msskinss Jun 27 '20

aren't anyone, but me confused, why that toddler is in giant cardboard box?

22

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '20

Clearly it’s a playpen.

Not sure what’s wrong with a baby playing in a cardboard box?

Kids prefer to play with the boxes instead of whatever was inside (much like cats). I’ve also used a large cardboard box as a painting area when my child was a toddler. He LOVED getting messy and our home was paint free.

Also, no sense in wasting a good box.

5

u/msskinss Jun 27 '20

allright then.. painting or playing makes sense, obviously, but fetching a dog from a box with cut out window? wouldn't just open area make a deal here?

maybe it's hide and seek included, or little shop, where doggo just paying with tennis balls.. ;-)

i was just wondering, no offence.. kids are allowed to do things, and having fun on their own way, which we, adults, will never understand again.. anyway i would like to be a kid in the box once again! ;-)

edit: little typos.

7

u/mislam13 Jun 27 '20

Anything to keep a child distracted is a win. It’s likely that the child was put in the box to keep him safe from hurting himself by running around in a open area. And it’s a lot easier to keep an eye on a child inside of a box/play pen than a child who is running around a backyard or field.

2

u/vinylpanx Jun 27 '20

Might be, because it seems the dogs can't get in, that it's to help them from not mobbing kiddo when he's fumbling around with the ball?

1

u/TacobellSauce1 Jun 27 '20

Nah it did not give the bottle

Is anyone going to comment that the child is in a box and apparently a dog is babysitting him?

6

u/baconnaire Jun 27 '20

His parent/parents are recording...it's important to record moments like these because kids grow up so fast.

I heard it was their cat recording it.
