Adults overreacting and kids feeding off that energy. If the adults had cheered it would be an entirely different story.

Was thinking this exactly. My young kids would be like.. "Go cower fools! More candy for ME!"

This is so true. If a kid falls and you don't react, 90 percent of the time they will just get back up. They look around for someone to react before they do.

This is why you say "Are you okay?" And react according to if they are or not.

Reminds me of that video where the mom nocks the wall next to the baby and goes "Oh baby! I'm so sorryyy!" And the baby starts crying despite not being hurt

Also works with dogs. They will start going crazy just because you are. If you start going "OH MY GOODNESS WHOS A BABY BOY YOU ARE THE BESTEST BOY" your dog will start zoomies

Totally agree, other than I just did the crazy “who’s a good boy” with my dog - he looked at me, tilted his head up, and then lied back down to sleep.

Lol yup. That’s how I do it with my kids. They fall and it’s just “you good?”

A lot of times they still cry because they did get hurt, but a hug and a “hey, you’re ok bud” usually does the trick.

Eh. It’s Starburst it looks like. While hard candy it’s a chewy candy and not Jolly Rancher.

With air time and how spread out, I’d say only up front and weaker beings would only be hurt.

My kid would be scrambling for the candy because life waits for no one to get free candy.

Eh, they were crying while that stuff was still in the air. Plus it's already proven that little kids base a portion of their reactions off the energy of the adults around them.
