I asked my 5 year old if she wanted to protest. She said “what if they take me away, too?”

I asked my 5 year old if she wanted to come to a protest with me this weekend. Once I had explained what we were protesting, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said “what if they take me away, too?”

I don’t know how to have these conversations with my kids

So now kids believe they are going to be taken away or shot at school? Their reality is so skewed.

I asked my 4 year old about quantum physics and the only thing he did was dribble more snot out of his nose.

A 5-year old doesn’t know what a protest is. At that age, they’re barely past flinging their own poo and eating paste. Apparently, the same maturity level as the mother.

Take your kid and go close down the border.

Kid would probably be better off taken away from this airhead. I suppose it is too much to hope that she at least has a sane father.

Hey, “Bethannie”! Have you ever taken your little precious to church? What does her daddy tell her? Oh, you say he isn’t around?

Scary stuff!
Wunst they wuz a little boy wouldn't say his prayers,
An' when he went to bed at night, away up-stairs,
His Mammy heerd him holler, an' his Daddy heerd him bawl,
An' when they turn't the kivvers down, he wuzn't there at all!

An' they seeked him in the rafter-room, an' cubby-hole, an' press,
An' seeked him up the chimbly-flue, an' ever'-wheres, I guess;
But all they ever found wuz thist his pants an' roundabout:
An' the Gobble-uns 'll git you
Ef you Don't Watch Out!

Wonder if they are just trolling for a reaction and hysterics?

What is a Bethannie Oakley, and why do we care what her 5-year-old thinks?

What a coincidence. Just the other day I asked my 5 year old if she wanted to protest. She grabbed her MAGA hat and said “Hell, yes! Mr. Trump is defending the Rule of Law, and I want to support him. ”

Something makes me think my 5 year old and the author’s 5 year old will be on opposite sides of this protest.

Adults should listen to 5 year olds about the border and 17 year olds about the 2nd amendment because adults are idiots. Don’t trust me ask the next democrat you see or turn on cnn/nbc/msnbc/etc etc.

IF this is true.

ADULTS are supposed to shield their children from adult matters not make them participants.

This is terrorizing a child. It's emotional child abuse.

Since “Oakley” is a rather white name, why would we haul her off? /s

Most 5 year olds would ask what “protest” meant.

Leftists love making up what their kids say on facebook and twitter. It’s amazing how they’re all liberal talking points.

Perhaps that is because liberal talking points are all designed for child level maturity?

The 5 year old can be excused for being fooled by the msm propaganda. What is the adult’s excuse?
