Like a two-year-old just doesn't think about the world that way.

Right. Right. So this was like, I think I recorded this one and sent it to you. But after we chatted, you know, because she's really sheepish about it now. Like she clams up when you ask her about it. But at one point we were making cookies and I was, I try to keep it super casual with her, you know, like no big deal. It's just like, you know, see what comes out.

Try not to put too much pressure on her because like I said, she clams up. So she did end up telling me, like, Auntie Gloria was telling her about her aunts, her mean aunts. I probed a little bit and just said, like, well, why are her aunts mean? She said that her aunts do bad things to children. And she said they do bad things with belts to children, which is, like, really dark, I know.

I'm not super mom, but like my child is not exposed to anything like that, like ever. So to even know that that's a thing that happens is, I just, I don't, maybe I'm naive, but like I just don't see how a two or three-year-old could make that kind of a connection. Like how they could, she could say that spontaneously. I don't know.

Obviously it's upsetting, you know, to think that your little girls like being exposed to things outside of your control. That's like what every parent, like that's probably one of the hardest parts about being a parent, maybe the hardest part about being a parent. But I also think that like, She didn't seem scared or upset.

And so I didn't want to map any of my like shit onto the way that she was experiencing it. So when she told me, I just tried to stay like pretty neutral and curious. I don't know. That's, I guess, my parenting style is like, well, she's not freaking out about it or scared. Why would I put that on her? I don't know if that's right or wrong, but that's kind of how I approached it. Thank you.
