RE: Welcome to GrumpyOldFartland

I love your Gif, Eric😂

I fear feeding the squirrels might be the first step of a very slippery slope to “GrumpyOldFartland”.

Nope, not you and your lovely wife!

I see parents of all kinds; some teach their children to be responsible and have respect, but there are those whose noses are stuck in their phones.
We have a wall above a very high staircase; some little ones used to walk on top of that wall in full view of the parents. We'd be there having a chat, and have to warn them about the danger. I now put up a rail so that they cannot walk there.

A part of our humanity is lost if we cut ourselves off from the vibrant wisdom of Earth’s ecosystem.

Very sad when kids do that to the squirrels. In that instance I would have done the same, even when in my 20s!

@papilloncharity's wife used to feed squirrels at their previous home, they live in the Western Cape. We don't have any here in Durban.

Your little squirrels are very spoilt with those nuts!

Sort:  

I was so happy when I found that GIF. It was the icing on the cake.

It's great that you're seeing parents raise their children the right way! That gives me hope. We just see a very small swath of families in the park and it's not an accurate representation of society as a whole. I need to remember that.

They are super spoiled! Magoo has become a bit of an internet sensation on YouTube. Lol.
