The children yearn for the mines.
Trees and grass and other green things around you in the garden have a positive psychological effect. The feeling of having done something visible has a positive psychological effect. Getting a physical workout has a positive psychological effect.
I know yours is a humorous comment, but a child digging in a garden has nothing to do with them yearning to be an early-capitalism style child laborer.
We know…
Jesus dude, go touch some grass.
We all know it’s bad for children to work in mines, its a joke.
Hello Jesus dude. That’s kinda what I said, no?
Yeah, but you sucked all the fun out of a joke that no one was confused about in the first place.
I mean, yeah…
I grew up on a farm, if kids got too hype, they got chores.
If you keep a husky puppy locked up in an apartment all day, it’s gonna act out and destroy shit and be difficult.
Same thing with a human kid.
You gotta let them burn that energy kut, giving them an iPad isn’t going to make them tired.
Guessing it’s just the exercise? I feel more in control of my emotions after a nice long walk.
Human beings crave agency and usefulness, even the little humans and even in little ways.
I’m on the spectrum and digging a hole, diggy diggy hole. Diggy diggy hole!
So homeboy read holes right? Just needs to turn over a boat and hide peaches.
Hell yeah! I did this kind of thing a lot with my kids. Give them a backpack, a flip phone, lunch and drinks and tell them to go explore a hill visible from the house.
Holes, a wildly popular movie about the very real problem of exploitative kids camps. And yet they persist…
