This is a sweet story, but I think the dad should’ve been a little concerned that a 3 year old is still crawling.

Edit: Y’all can save your “um actually”s, I was just poking a little fun. I know 3 years olds are capable of crawling. In my experience they usually just run everywhere.

I mean, if Dad was sitting on the ground right there, crawling towards him instead of standing up isn't super crazy

I have a cousin whose kid is around that age, and he sprints around the house and then grabs a drink and stares you right in the eye as he pours it directly on the floor.

Your mileage may vary.

My brother's terror and my favorite, when he was 3 he climbed over five baby gates and up and down the stairs, and somehow climbed up and gotten the good bread knife off of the top of the bookshelf it was stashed on top of. He charged into the room and waved it at us, sternly lecturing us that This. Is. Not. A. Toy. He's 15 now and I don't know how he's survived this long.

Crawling doesn't imply not being able to walk. Like, I'm fully an adult and if I'm on the floor I'll scoot to something rather than standing if it's not too far.

What's the symbolism behind the sweets? You'll value the good food?

Do Chinese people change or keep a dollar note just so they can do this? Why not use a denomination of yuan?

Yeah, but if THEIR kids start digging a hole in the backyard, the parents don't freak out saying they're going to dig a hole to china. That would just be a tunnel.

Hahaha. Where do Chinese parents say their kids are gonna dig to? Never thought about that. Maybe new York? Brazil?

Yeah, it's really inconvenient how everyone is required by law to carry around the currency of the country that most closely corresponds to their ethnicity, huh? It would be much easier if they could just use the currency of wherever they happen to live.

Funnily enough, I know too many people who keep dollar bills as some weird souvenir.
