You are my sunshine

I was singing to my daughter when she was around that age and told me to stop singing. I asked why and she told me, because you can't

3 year olds are brutal. Sweet and innocent, with opinions based on little, and zero tact.
- My two year old's best friend is a three year old... Jfc it's like watching innocence and insanity play together. I love her friend but damn she's brutal. While my girl is still a bit too small to be hurt or angry about mistreatment and lets so much slide. And in a year my forgiving two year old will be this intimidating mess.
My mother didn't even bother singing to me. She knew better. She's almost completely tone deaf.

Ahahaha. Love it

least brutal 3-year-old/freshly born.

I'm imagining toddlers growing up to hate their parents' music taste, because they already fucking hated it when they played it to them when they were a fetus in utero.

The dad hyped up "fuck yeah I'm gonna teach this kid to love Slayer because I'm playing it to him now when they're in there!". And then they hate it like "THIS IS WHAT THAT SHIT WAS, I HATED IT ALL THE FUCKING TIME, FUCK YOU!"
- My kid's going to listen to In Utero, in utero, whether they like it or not.
- Like there was for a while the whole "Play Mozart/Beethoven to your kid in the womb and they'll be smarter" and shit - there's no way everyone universally likes classical music. I know several older people who don't enjoy music at all, which just seems bizarre.
  
  It's not like every kids gonna pop out and be like "That Mozart's Requiem was some shit, man! Play it again!".
- Young kids do not have the mental capacity to differentiate between "I learned something new" and "I always had this opinion". They are simply incapable of the former position.
  
  There are psychology experiments with children that show this effect, it's pretty wild.
- I would sing my daughter Johnny Cash in NICU. She loves it now. Best part is the chords tend to be easy if she wants to learn to play, or if I ever want to learn LOL

Forcing my fetus to listen to cbat. Fuck you little shit. You going to hate me, ill give you something to hate me for!

I read this as "listen to chat" and decided that twitch has gone too far
- Fetus listens to TTS, but I abort every time chat talks about Logan Paul
  
  Add a thumbnail of a cut-through, sad looking Logan Paul, a dead baby, the streamer face-palming and the LOL emote. Easy 20 million views
That's baby making music.
Fucking cbat. Lmao
This is as inhumane as it is inappropriate.
Your child will grow up to be a sad clown.
Ah, new prologue to "Making a Murderer" just dropt

That's just animal abuse.

The original You Are My Sunshine had something ridiculous like 48 verses many of which have been lost and it went on for twelve minutes. Though I forget where I read that, and I can't find it again, so it may have been some kind of weird fever dream.

a 3 year old? That Happened.

You've obviously never met a three year old
yeah nobody is ever 3 years old. this is clearly fake.

That's not a song that should be sung to kids

People should sing whatever songs they want to their kids. Kids understand that the lyrics aren't necessarily supposed to be taken literally or even applied to them; kids just like the attention and how relaxing it is to listen to the most comforting voices they know sing songs that they love.

My wife sang our kids "You Are My Sunshine" and "Puff the Magic Dragon." I sang them love songs, break-up songs, songs about death, and everything in between. The only difference in our day-to-day life and personalities is that they are developing great taste in music and that I spent much more time singing to them than I would have had I been bored to tears singing "appropriate" songs.
- Me: you are my sunshine...
  
  My kid: I'm a star?! That makes no sense, what even is your stupid song.
I've only ever heard the first part sung. The second verse being sad feels more like a fun fact to me than anything.
- The third verse seems like a thinly veiled threat to me:
  
  I'll always love you and make you happy,
  
  If you will only say the same,
  
  But if you leave me to love another,
  
  You'll regret it all some day.
- Really?
  
  The first verse:
  
  The other night, dear
  
  As I lay sleeping
  
  I dreamt I held you in my arms
  
  But when I woke, dear
  
  I was mistaken
  
  So I hung my head and I cried
  
  I always took it to mean the person is mourning the loss of a loved one and they dreamed they were still alive.
  
  Also, I once heard that this song was about a horse named Sunshine. 🤷‍♂️
That's nothing. Have you heard about the song we song to babies about them falling to their death out of a tree?

Yeah alright, a three year old already knows to hate. Yeah.

Bruh, have you never met a child? Hate is one of the first things kids learn.
At three, I hated lots of things. Girls, Brussels sprouts, wasps, Darth Vader, and taking baths.

I'm glad you had such a sheltered life.
- But how did you feel about sand?
- Wait, you guys remember when you were three?
Just today my 3yo has hated: dance class, her sister, and carrots.

She loves them now though. They're a fickle bunch.
- Carrots are many a childs' first scathing hatred.
- Her dance class or the carrots?
At 3, I already had a kid I hated. I know this because apparently I saw him one day, made sure to point him out to my parents and blatantly told them I hate him. At least that's how my mom tells it.

3 yo me was right to hate that kid. From age 3 to senior year, that kid was a Grade A douchebag.
Yeah, generally. Is 'terrible twos' a saying in your area? It is in mine. Toddlers suck.
Okay
