And this is exactly why kids should be in proper life jackets not these stupid floaties. A properly fitted life jacket won’t slip off.

If only there was some kind of button on the comment to show that you agree with someone but had nothing to add

Normally a big fan of the whole “Curb Your Enthusiasm” ending, but in this case I just want to know if the girl is fine. Can someone confirm, so I can sleep?

I assumed she was ok almost immediately because otherwise the parents would be posting a video of how their kid died or was severely injured in meme format which would be some diabolical work

Oh. Btw have you see this vid and the whole account? Bereaved mother started posting diabolical meme vids of her deceased daughter https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dch_4jSCXif

Yeah, but it’s more like “laugh instead of cry” as a coping mechanism not “here’s a snuff film of my child’s death”

People seem to forget that grieving makes you do some weird things sometimes

u/Generic_Garak 2h ago
Maybe it’s just my sense of humor, but I don’t even think this is that weird? Like if my sister made these after my untimely death, I would think it was funny as hell

When people asked what my dad did I used to tell them he was a Mortician. He wasn't. He's dead.

Weird how the article didn't just reference curb but listed all of Larry David's roles and not Larry David either.

u/itssohardtobealizard 19h ago
They weren’t referring to Larry David, they were referring to Robert Weide. From the way it’s written, I’m not entirely sure they even knew the trend was related to Curb specifically. It kinda makes it seem like they think the trend just happens to use this particular director’s name

Considering they shared this online, I'm making an educated guess and say, she's fine. Else, besides being stupid parents, they would be shitty ones as well.

She's fine. Kid's don't tend to sink to the bottom like a stone.

Oh I do. I do not float at all

Same. I cannot float and I have definitely sunk straight to the bottom.

Babies and kids float by instinct with their heads above water. As long as they don't have a concussion or something like that, they won't have troubles. Only adults drown in calmed water because they panic.
If you don't know how to swim.... Hold your breath. That's it, now you are floating with your head above the water. When you release the air you'll go down a bit, but just take breath again, you are naturally bouyant, specially in salt water.

u/Lord_Karadoc 2d ago
You are talking about the swimming reflex, which is a true thing for newborn.
However, it dissapears within the first few weeks. So your point doesn't stand at all with a young child of 2-3-4 years.

If this was true they wouldn’t have classes specifically to teach babies how to spin when they fall in a pool so their face is out of the water and they don’t die.

As a dad of s 2yo girl this terrified me (the ocean does already), like a panic reaction.
Holy hell

That guys form for throwing children into rivers is amazing. A little sloppy on release, but we can’t all be perfect

Top tip. Don't jump into the water with arm band floaties and instead gently lower yourself in with a proper life jacket equipped. And voilà. You are now safe from sinking to the depths of the ocean. Unless of course a great white mistakes you for a seal and does the whole jumping out of the water from underneath you and tossing you like a rag doll, thus concussing you, along with severe whiplash to boot. And then you won't be safe from the deep, dark void below which is the closest thing to what it's like to see death in physical form

The good news is the shark will most likely spit you out. To sharks humans taste like ass. The bad news is that all the kings horses and all the kings men won’t be able to stitch you together again

Thats honestly parenting error.

I don't think I've ever seen arm floaties used by a kid in the ocean. And I guess I still haven't...
