where funni
This recalls a forgotten memory. Some adult/teacher was explaining that birds (in general) go north for the winter. We’re midway up somewhere in the northern hemisphere. I was maybe 6 and just couldn’t grasp why birds would go north in the winter toward colder weather. The adult went off on a condescending rant about having to repeat themself and migratory patterns and birds being birds. I still know very little about birds.
It’s such a shame. Children have so much curiosity for the world.
Adults should realy nourish that, not kill it.
I’ve worked with children in that age range (6 and older) and it’s realy crazy what they come up if you give them a bit of room to experiment with their ideas.
I don’t understand
falseknees comics aren’t necessarily structured around a big punchline. It’s often more of an animal kingdom slice of life. Here the bird on the left clearly hatched this year since they’re unaware of leaves changing color in autumn. This is isn’t their last surprise, as they’re about to find out what it means to be a migratory bird as well.
As someone else said, kudos to you.
What a well worded, concise, and accurate comment. And said with warmth.
Oh god is this AI!?
And this is the high quality and thoughtful Internet comment I’m going to end my night with. Thank you Internet stranger. There is good in the world, after all.
I remember when I was a kid and was waiting for the holidays to come. I couldn’t read a calendar and could barely tell the time, so I just went through this bored/depressive period every single day for what seemed like an eternity until suddenly the holidays came.
I knew it existed, just had no concept of time.
