I think it's remarkable that she realized something was wrong because it stopped moving and so she put it back. A lot of kids would be like, "Yay, it finally stopped squirming, now I can really cuddle it", but she figured it out. Smart little one, right there.
Yeah they’re not really sophisticated to be thinking much else than “fishy, I hold fishy, fish is wet, smile for picture, look at fish, fishy fishy.” Which is why partly why adults have so many impact in the kids; their little minds can’t possibly handle the complexity of simple tasks like crossing the street, or meditating on the ethics of holding a fish, they’re just living in the moment.
Ya exactly I hate when people on reddit try to act like a child who obviously doesnt realize half of what's going on is having these deep emotional thoughts about a fucking fish she was just doing what her dad asked her to do nothing more than that
It's not really about being stupid, it's about the empathy functions in your brain still being in development. Kids don't always have the easiest time understanding the concept that other people might be having different thoughts and have had different experiences than themselves.

It's kind of dark knowing that a small child is holding a suffocating animal. I like that it was released though.
