Do you think teasing is fun?

I don't. I think its  bordering on abuse. This is a link  about children being told their parents ate all of their Halloween candy. Some of the kiddies were mild and mellow, and others were Tasmanian devils, when they were told

 

I think Jimmy Kimmel needs to go to the naughty chair

Re: Do you think teasing is fun?

I saw this earlier and must say, some of those kids need some serious anger management intervention! I do not think it is funny at all that they ran and hit their parents in a fit of anger, cussed or said they hated their parents. I know your post wasn't about that, lol, but I was disturbed by some of the reactions of those kids. But wow, some of those kids were just toooooo sweet. What gentle, innocent souls!

Re: Do you think teasing is fun?

I love it!  Kids have no filter and act how adults want to act but feel they can not.  Wouldn't it be great if we could just have a temper tantrum whenever we are upset?  Cry and stomp and kick our feet? Bet there would be a lot less violence in the world if adults could  act out like children. WAAAAA!!!

I don't think so. I think there would be even more violence

Maybe... Then again, maybe a lot of the world's violence is because grown ups are acting and reacting like children, only with lethal means at their disposal...

@cherry I saw some of those videos and didn't find them funny at all.

Cry, yes. Scream and rush someone and hit them or the camera in anger, no. That is not a healthy release of emotions.  Besides, there are still adults who have temper tantrums and it ain't pretty, nor is it funny or cute. In fact, at times, it can be deadly.

Re: Do you think teasing is fun?

In small doses goodhearted teasing or bantering is affectionate between friends or a relative and child.  Some people don't know when to stop though.  

 

I'm not a Kimmel fan.
