It's normal to feel irritated. Not because you don't love them, but because normally, you feel like they are your support, your greater. See, kids, we see as lesser (and not in a bad way). They are weak, they are unknowledgeable and they need to rely on us. But we view our parents as our heroes.... we view them as our greater.....
@@TheDeathmail exactly why I'd be worried. A kid asks the same question again nd again cuz they don't know. If anything older person did that I'd immediately think they need a medical check up asap
@_Angel_Dvst 💯 it doesn't work in reverse as when people get older it is a sign something is wrong but that's not too say that it is not the same for someone younger So it makes me wonder (3am thoughts) Do kids do this because their brains lack the capacity to retain information or they full well know what they are doing in trying to annoy the adult meaningful that when people say that some people are born evil it would apply to little kids who do this in excess of 37 times.
My grandpa forgets alot. I will gladly sit with him and answer his questions again and again. Even if we talk about the same thing 23 times. All he wants is to be heard, loved and talked to .
You realize that it has nothing to do with him knowing what a crow is or isn’t right? It’s about tolerance and love (if you need elaboration then feel free to ask) But Anyhoot, have a wonderful day/night mate!
@@AliceSpringz332 Thank you so much I'm sorry I was just annoyed at the time for some reason and I guess I thought since that would annoy me If someone did that It would annoy the other person I should have thought before I talked and I will learn to be more mindful
@@carrotcakes2 Nah mate, I get it, and let’s be honest, some of these can be really frustrating because of a multitude of reasons =w= But I’m glad you relooked over your perspective
@@AliceSpringz332 Thank you so much I will I'm so sorry that others don't understand how to take other perspectives if you ever need anything or if you need someone to talk to I'm always here! thank you so much and I hope you have an amazing day or night I'm wishing you the best of luck and the best time ever
Possibly it depends on what intentions he had with the journal. Mine for instance because I grew up in an extremely narcissistic household with my mother and sister being compulsive liars and closer to adult hood I noticed my mother could barely identify true statements any more I put what I know to be true and real feelings for the event just in case I I slip down that hole too. I want my loved one to know if it's ever found the full truth of my perspective.
Depends at very young ages, kids' memories aren't great. Attention span of seconds. When my son was very young he'd ask dozens of questions. As his father my job was to give him knowledge on how to learn. Today and the internet make that vastly easier
I really get annoyed with this mindset I get people always arguing with me 'You said you arent annoyed. That clearly means you are annoyed' 'You said you weren't upset by something. But I dont believe you. You clearly had to of been to sa you weren't' And other crap like that Some people like to indicate to write literally and exactly how they feel Yall always wanna see the negative in shit when there isn't any. Jaded people exist in a world where hate is worst than ever. Its sickening.
There's a difference between a child asking the same thing over and over, and a grown ass adult (presumably without dementia) asking the same thing over and over.
EXACTLY (I don't know why, but this storry irritates me SOO much) Best case scenario: Father wants to tease his son/ be a smartass Worst case scenario: The father wants to make his son snap so that he can guilt trip him after. Also think that the diary entry sounds fake af and it's realy "convenient" that he asked the EXACT SAME QUESTION as his son. Like I get the MESSAGE of the story, but the story itself is so annoying in my opinian
@@user-iz7lf9cw5h Since when is 80 not an adult? What🤣? He is an old man, yes, so he is an adult. You don't get a freepass to be an a-hole just because you are old, lol... There is a big difference between a curios child and an adult man. If he had dementia or some other underlying medical issue I would think diffrently, but he clearly has NOT. Otherwise he wouldn't remember the EXACT diary entry. The only logical reason for this man to ask this question over and over again is that he somehow wanted to teach his son a lesson, but he did it in the sh!t!est way possible. Think about it, unless he is completly unable to read human emotions he must have realized that his son was getting annoyed, so why did he continue? Did he just want his son to react negativly so he could teach him the lesson? Because if so, that is called MANIPULATIVE behavior. Getting someone mad on purpose is sh!tty on itself, but guilt tripping them after is just manipulation. I am all for beeing patient with your loved ones, because we are ALL just HUMAN. And I am verry well aware that children need extra patience, they are NEW to most things after all. I also know that eldery people often need more patience too, but for different reasons then with children. And the old man in this storry wasn't struggeling with anything that would excuse his behavior. Believe it or not I am a verry patient person (I used to work with kids). But I refuse to excuse manipulative behavior
@@nerodiamante9441 A good lesson can be taught in a dumb way. I can agree with a measage but still think that the story itself is bad lol. Just because I understand and agree with the kesson doesn't mean I have to LIKE the story itself. I know the father is suposed to be just a sweet old man, but if you think about his actuall behavior he seems more annoying/manipulative to me
I would be concerned about my child asking me the same question over and over again, rather than calling it a crow, and asking me 100 other questions about the crow. personally I don't agree with being irritated, but it is a normal reaction to either when Love is lacking.
This is a Gujarati writer's official work. Like from a really famous author of India. It was such an amazing story, that had left us in tears as little kids when it was taught to us in school.
@@marlonjoslin6730 not a care home???? But a whole hospital bed🤣 sounds like this so called father needs a care home or mental health check as why are you trying to prove that you are such a great father it's petty or a plan to punish the child for everything that they did growing up
when my baba asks me the same question i just say it with a lovely voice and sometimes giggle,i would never shout at my grandpa...not even for eternity
While yes, there is a difference age wise, we shouldn’t treat them with different levels of empathy/sympathy or patience based purely on that. If the old man was doing it with the intent to purposely anger his son and that was evident, then the son could have called him out on it in a respectful manner (though it’s hard to tell emotions when it’s ai voiced =w=); and when it comes to a kid doing the same, the same rules still apply. In either situation, the one answering should be the mature one and keep their cool or inquire as to why they’re asking what they are or what they mean (and maturity isn’t based off of age; as is evident in may pieces of media and in real life). How the son responded was wrong, which to any human with empathy and/or sympathy that is plainly evident, with or without the context of the diary. Anyhoot, I hope you and everyone who took the time to read this has a wonderful day/night~!
That's what people don't understand this is their disdain for seeing somebody get old and most of the time we do have to have that patience with them we do have to have that loving smile even though we may not remember the elderly people that's what they need patience and a lot of happiness that comes with its
Often, the irritation is towards the elderly we love the most. And it's because we often grew up with them being the more knowledgable ones... They were the ones taking care of us. So we often forget that they became weaker... We forget they became less capable... because deep down, they are still the adults we relied on... It's logic vs emotions... Emotionally, we often can't accept them being weak or incapable....
The father knew what he had to prepare for when he decided to have a kid. The son will always be the kid in their relationship. The father has no rights to expect his son to be the parent.
If you are with many people then opening the bag like that can give access to the chips to everyone. And yes. A bowl of course could be used but what if you have 5 or more bags of chips and every single one of them is to be opened?
"Hey, I am a fully grown adult. I am going to act like a child and expect you to humor me because I did the same when you were an actual child" If my dad ever did something like that I would get worried and will have to test him for dementia.
It was, quite literally, a prank. Pretty funny too. Although yeah if my parents did this to me they’d have to work hard to convince me it was a prank because I’d be pretty worried it was dementia
Nice job completely missing the point. It's a "lesson" for grown kids to have patience with their aging parents, because their parents had patience with them.
Brings back memories... When I was in standard 5, took part in a story telling competition, and narrated this story and won a prize.... Now I am 21, it's been 11 years since then and after a long time I saw this, totally mesmerised ❤
Damn... my arse would be unrecognisable if I asked my dad a question more than 3 times 💀💀 Edit: there seems to be some debate in the comments and yes, this is a joke to some extent. But in some families (not unlike mine) it is traditional culture (e.g. Indian, Chinese, Malaysian, Singaporean, etc) for the parents to have punishments for bad behaviour. But as mentioned above, *this is a joke* to some extent. I hope this settles any doubts in the replies 😊 Thanks for 450 likes guys ❤️
@@TheRealKdWasNotHerethen report your parents instead of talking about it online no one should be able to hit a developing child because at that point the child would not be the one to be disciplined.
@mjk6618 Honestly this story has nothing to do with patience but the strange antics of a father there is better ways to talk with someone to show them guidance. If someone can wait that long to prove a point? what do you actually think they are capable of? That is a sign to run, run as fast as you can, RUN!
Holy macaroni! It’s a huge difference between the innocence of a child and an adult doing it on purpose to feel better, like some sort of revenge. I‘ve got tricked by this lack of empathy so many times by my mum. Such a abuse of power
It's normal to feel irritated. Not because you don't love them, but because normally, you feel like they are your support, your greater. See, kids, we see as lesser (and not in a bad way).

Lots of ppl see older parents are lesser, weak, senile. I would hope instead of irritated, someone would be concerned about the mental wellbeing of their aging parent. Especially if they dont typically do things like this
We do not live forever and sometimes lucky. One Springs last until the day they die. But that's not the case for most of us, because most of us are going to Have to deal with bodies that are breaking down. Failing and our minds that are also failing. Because nothing lasts forever in this Earth. We live on and even though we think it does. It really doesn't when you think about it. Because time is short and precious, so cherish. The time you have on the face of this. And remember that life is not a given. It's a blessing. Take care and have a great rest of your day in your next woods. Wherever that may be and remember that kindness is key to a good life. Because yourself and those around you will thank you for it😊
Read this: My father used to say this story when i was 9 ...i still reminds him of this story .... I don't know why was he so insecure about my behaviour...but now its one of our memories when we look back to those days❤❤
Wow😮 I wouldnt get mad Because some people loose their memory as they grow older Our parents took care of us When we were young & We Should do the same For them as they Grow older. Thats What I & my brotgers Did For Our Momma As She got where she couldnt move around as good As she got older
Going through it now with Auntie. Did you know kidney failure gives you basically alzheimers symptoms. It's worse though with the heart failure playing It's roll too 💔 My Deepest Respect to all of the nurses out there but especially the ones in hospice. ❤ You all are angels and deserve everything good in life 🫡💓💗💞
He has something wich old people forget what they say every minute but have a good memory of the old times.So the father did not wait for that.He just remembered...
I often hear these kind of stories. One thing i would like to add is, when you see a child you automatically adjust your behaviour based on a child behaviour. Whereas, not just family member but anyone adult we don’t expect them to behave like a child. More like we don’t want them to behave that way because we perceive them as shade/ protector and we don’t want to accept that protector is aging and now needs our protection.
Quran always says that be kind to your parents, and Allah teach us to wish for parent " oh Allah please have mercy on my parents Just like they have mercy on us when we are small". I always recite this dua for my parents they are no more with me always, may Allah grant them highest level of paradice.
The father doesn't have enough memory to remember the name of a bird which he saw just before, but he had enough memory to remember the incident happened decades before and he had enough memory to remember the date when the incident happened, which one the exact diary that he wrote those, and where did he keep the diary for this long! Just like a wow!!!!!!
Funny we go through this with our children and grand children. I read a book to my granddaughter the same one aleast 100 times because she liked it. What goes around comes around. We do it for loving them.
The lesson here isnt revenge but seeing if his son truely loves him..... By seeing if he would react the way he did himself..... The heartbreaking part is for his son to understand he had to be told....
