anyway not that anyone asked but what i actually told my three year old is that some cars look different and just because the cybertruck looks interesting doesn't mean it's safe to ride in. he's allowed to think it looks cool if he wants but we constantly reiterate that it's a piece of shit

I had a similar convo with my 5yo. Little kids love how it looks because it looks like a little kid designed it.

The only people I have ever met that think the cybertruck looks cool are between the ages of 3 and 6

I tell the kids in carpool that, whatever they might think of its appearance, don’t stand too close because they might explode

Over here, our 6 and 11 years olds yell “Ew, it’s so ugly” every time they see one. It’s a family tradition at this point. That and giving them the occasional middle finger.

I def thought he was making a good joke on the word body. That is too bad. By not like baaaaad. Like unfortunate.

nextdoor is squarely NOT my audience. I said "can you park your ugly-ass car indoors" and they're like "why don't you just move, KAREN" 😭 I stepped outside my echo chamber and I did not like it

My kid is 9 so they look to me like a god for a couple more years. They enthusiastically hate it like I do lol

Our 3 year old refers to them as trash trucks and my husband and I consider this our greatest accomplishment as parents thus far.

okay my controversial take of the day

if the cybertruck showed up in Terminator or Aliens with a laser gun on the back we'd have called it the coolest thing ever to grace cinema especially if it had neon strip lighting

but Aliens made an airplane tug look like a cool military vehicle so

I think part of the reason we're in this mess is that a lot of men can't tell the difference between a movie and real life.

I found some success in telling my kids the stories about raccoons mistaking them for dumpsters, they loved that

I think it’s fine to tell the 3 year old it looks stupid and it’s ugly. And then when he’s 4 you can talk about late stage capitalism and wealth inequality. And maybe also fragile masculinity. These are life lessons.
