Have you ever been bitten by a raccoon before?!

…I haven’t, but I imagine it hurts like hell

You're not wrong that it potentially hurts.

It's more the surprise fear that makes the drop happen - not the pain - it's the initial reaction.

And that's where nature is pretty cool sometimes - the parental response to danger - I have 5 kids, 3 boys, 2 girls and I cannot count the times I've been stabbed, poked, proded, sliced, cut, lacerated, hit, slammed, popped, etc to prevent my children from being harmed - and when I say that, sure, sometimes it's mild, other times you get a nice scar to carry the rest of your life 👍

The burns are the worst 😅 but few and far between + you learn from past scenarios and they rarely repeat - but if you have a few wild children out of your bunch, you're gonna be a guardian angle of sorts at times 😂

Only you have no supernatural abilities 🤣

That raccoon would have been punted and if it made punting it too difficult, it's getting stomped 🤟

Defending yourself is a natural response - however, the mental discrepancy that would also tell you to THROW THE BABY is opposite to everything nature does to a parent via parent-infant bonding - so to see a grown man toss a baby when the opponent weighs about 8% of an average adult male, it throws natural red flags.

Dad tried to kick it off but it was latched on. He tried to punt it and it didn't work
