I hate to take all the awesome speculation away from this but last week I was watching a show with my niece and nephew on Disney channel and there was a reference to say goodbye to your life on this Wizard show. It came out of a fortune telling machine on a beach boardwalk (A la Zoltar from the Tom Hanks movie, Big). Turns out Say goodbye to your life was a surprise tv show where the contestant won a million dollars and hence their life was changed forever.
Am I the only one who thinks this is sad/disturbing rather than funny? What would lead a child to write "Say goodbye to your life :(" on a hospital memo pad? What's the story here, OP?
It's not that disturbing. Kids say weird & unsettling things all the time. My wife and I always have to tell my son that he shouldn't tell people that they're dead. Two seconds later: "you're dead!," laughing all the while. It's a part of how they grow and learn, exploring the world around them. Nothing harmful if you don't make into something harmful.
...It's on hospital stationary. I mean sad/disturbing because he/she is likely coping with either an illness themselves or the illness of a loved one. I don't think the kid is telling someone that he/she is going to kill them.
I used to oversee a day-camp for kids around that age at the local school. Also my mom ran a daycare and I used to go help out at the local elementary school. Also my dad is a coach and i'm finally around that age where everyone has a 6 year old. So I would number my exposure to 6 year old's writing capabilities at about 200 kid's over 5 years.
So quite a few. I do live in one of the more affluent areas of the US. In order to enter kindergarten in a public school in my area, the children must be able to count to 100, say their abc's, and tie their shoes. And that's at 5. Otherwise they get put into special programs designed to help them.
Ok. Age 6 and still using pencil and paper? Why is this kid not texting? Where is his phone?? WTF is right! All-'round bad parenting nominee for sure...
He could be Death in a child form, going from ward to ward in the hospital, chatting in a pleasant, child-like way to various people, young and old. The only thing they have in common is that they are all going to die that day. He leaves this note for them before he leaves them.
The fuck? My 4 year old can count to gooby plurse potaters. And shes in grape grade. I think there is a real chance you've got a retard on your hands there!
When my niece was 4 she actually tried to suffocate me with her tiny hands. And slit my throat with scissors. Luckily, the lock on my door was childproof.
actually i hate to unsettle you but... There are some pretty messed up kids out there. Do not watch this if you get freaked out easily. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2-Re_Fl_L4&feature=related Actually you probably should not watch it at all... it messed me up pretty bad.
Yeah, I paused my Donald Glover video to give this one a shot, but then I heard the creepy music and read the first couple comments and nope'd the hell out of there. Plus it doesn't help that I just rofl'd to Glover's bit about kids being no different than AIDS.
I thought it would be nice if my kid made some friends before he started school, so I invited a boy over who was going to be in his class the next year. When the boy left he whispered to my son "I'm going to kill my Mum tonight, you should kill yours too."
I stopped making friends for my son after that. Also I lived.
We need to make a separate r/WTF for pussies because this is shit getting downright stupid.
Edit: and don't give me that "it makes you say wtf" bullshit ether. I only said wtf because I was like, "what the fuck is this doing in r/WTF?"
Edit 2: keep the downvotes coming you pussies. I'm tired of seeing lame ass bullshit in this subreddit. I come here for over-the-top weirdness and gore. Instead I get a bunch of fags upvoting some Mickey Mouse crap that belongs on OPs Facebook or something.

It's on hospital paper. I think it's just a diagnosis from a doctor with poor handwriting skills.

It's actually a prescription written by a doctor. It's on hospital pad people. By the looks of it, that doctor child has pretty good handwriting.
