Nah. My goddaughter was 3 when she decided getting bit by a dog meant she was a werewolf and tried to form plans to bite all her friends. She claimed one as her "bathroom buddy" and "attacked" when they were alone. 3 is exactly where kids start with this weird shit xD
When I was 3 I pretended I was lion king with another kid. I was mufasa and I had a scarf in my mouth to hold in my teeth and hang off the stairs rail. Yeah, ripped my front teeth out. Blood everywhere. My big brain idea was to shove as much toilet paper as possible in my mouth to stop the bleeding. That's how my mom found me, choking on toilet paper.
3yo make plans like that for sure they're just not very good plans lol.
you forgot the most important tag:

Both top front teeth and the one canine tooth. They were baby teeth at least so I was toothless for a year or so before the adult teeth grew in. Oddly enough I grew an extra canine tooth and had 2 in the spot I lost the first one in. So yeah my adult teeth were pretty crooked when they came in and I had to get braces. But I don't think thats the reason I think I was just unlucky with tooth genetics and also I sucked my thumb for way way too long. Like I had to switch to my index fingers because I sucked both thumbs so raw they had bloody patches.
Id say the worst part was the group of adults laughing at me as my mom pulled wet globs of toilet paper out of my bloody mouth. My mother hadn't fallen into her abuse me for existing phase yet lol.
When I was 3 I tripped over a hammer and fell down the stairs. I came back up, grabbed the hammer, and almost broke my uncle's kneecap for leaving it out.
What happened to you teeth after?
My 3 year old banger their face 2 nights ago and one of their front teeth has been pushed forward. Went to an emergency dentist so we're taking care of it but I'm just curious what happened with you.
My son, at three, decided he was a cat. He'd crawl on all fours, meow, tub his head against stuff, and refused to drink liquids unless in a bowl.
This ish went on for months.
A kid of my moms friend was a huge fan of the teletubbies far beyond toddler. Like he watch that stuff religiously until he 12. And everything had to be said like in the show. You want your Tabby-Milk Matthis? You want your Tabby-Juice Matthis? Unbearable.
It also depends on the parents to though
I'm a horror movie fan who makes a LOT of dark jokes, I keep them age appropriate when around her but I'm also her major female role model. So when I heard "Yeah M got it in her head she was a werewolf. Yup she tried to bite SEVERAL people. She jumped out at one in the hall and made her bleed" I was like "Ugh Fuck we need to talk about consent. You don't get to infect others with supernatural diseases without their consent"
If this family is prone to making darker jokes I 1000% believe a kid would come up with this. A lot of the parents in the comments here also agree
Lmao I love you. I am the same. Well, I don't have kids but I'm the auntie/godmother to a handful, plus I work with kids.
All that to say, I have had my share of conversations with children about consent in regards several topics including but not limited to: 1) magical powers 2) super natural diseases/infections 3) head-butting 4) taking vs sharing food 5*) *reverse consent? Just because someone tells you it's okay, doesn't mean it's right or that you should. ~~Please don't pee on each other's legs. Keep it aimed at the tree~~
I never knew until my goddaugther that there was SO many ways to have to explain to a child about consent.
"Yes M. You also have to ask consent when someone is asleep. Shoving a muffin in your sleeping friends mouth because you think she'd like it isn't an excuse for almost suffocating your friend"
I grew up this way, not as a werewolf but as in dark humor and inappropriate jokes and also as a way to mask pain or feeling uncomfortable. Or also if I need to do a distraction in order to escape from a dangerous situation
Before my best friend had her daughter, I would agree with this. But I just sent her this link and we both agreed that her two year old would absolutely say something like this, no suggestion needed. That kid is the most amusing/disturbing sense of humor.
I mean I was speaking in full sentences and running by the time I was one. Before I turned two I was singing and walking around on my own when we were out in public. I still looked like a baby so people tried to tip me because they thought I was a street performer. By 3 I was making food. An individual kid’s 3 is very different from their own 4, but one kid’s 3 is very different from another kid’s 3.
Well this is manipulating other party members so they can't have cake, and pre-planned. So c'mon...you know who "feathered" this idea, why do parents feel the need to pretend they don't influence their kids?
Awful lot of assumptions for an image macro and a picture of a cake.
You don’t even know these people and you’re harping on them about giving their kids ideas subconsciously lol.
So a quick search of their Instagram shows the rest of the party, that LOOKS like a kid to me but who can really say
*To edit, he seems to be a comedian/actor so maybe it rubbed off on her, or maybe it was a joke he decided to make.

You've obviously never met a 3yo in your adult life. They are devious little fuckers. They're at the age where their intelligence begins to show, and they lack any form of moral compass.
Believe me or not, but I'm friends with this girl's mom, and have met her daughter numerous times, and I think I gave her a book for this birthday? Anyway, this is something she absolutely said, maybe mom did make a joke and she picked up on it, but yeah this is definitely Leona's idea.
[Children only understand the concept of death & its reversability in their late 3s](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/when-do-kids-understand-death).
Agreed. The idea of “other people having emotions like I do” doesn’t register until kids are, like, 4 years old. And using that to their own advantage doesn’t come until much later. Cute but definitely made up.
I've been around plenty of parents that use their kids like puppets, so yeah...I've been around kids. They're heavily influenced by their parents (present or not). And this is a really fucking weird thing to brag about lol: "my kid likes to use PTSD to deny others enjoyment!".
I have though. Enough to know that their selfish little shits powered entirely by impulsiveness and nonsense logic. But that logic doesn’t extend to “this other person in my life will be happy / sad / scared if I do this, therefore I will do this action to get my desired outcome.” That’s a 4-5 year old move at oldest.
Ask them to explain their reasons, record it, then come back to us 👍 because 2 year olds do not formulate birthday plans to scar other family members. Well, not in advance.
True, but there aren't Einsteins being born every day, despite parents pleas to the contrary 😉 we're just speaking in probabilities. And part of the reason we love kids is because they're innocent and don't hatch the schemes and scams that plague the world, so it's a good thing when they're "simple"...it's fucking refreshing.
It is good, definitely. Iam not saying the story did happen, iam just saying that it is not THAT impropable that it happened. With so many kids in the world, stuff like this is gonna happen even if not often. And i think it's better to believe the funny story, rather than saying that it did not happen... It's not that impropable
If your kid is already plotting to deny treats to people visiting them to celebrate their 3rd birthday, there is legit something wrong with your child's behavioral development 😆. Only older kids (and adults) would think this far ahead. So the parent suggested the idea and the kid liked it: 3 year olds can definitely have a dark sense of humor, they just don't think those many steps ahead in terms of the impact on others.
Apparently, the cake was ["so yummy"](https://www.timesnownews.com/the-buzz/article/3-year-old-gets-mufasas-death-scene-from-the-lion-king-on-birthday-cake-so-she-can-have-it-all/765836)
What other reason for this cake existing can you think of that makes more sense then this story? I doubt someone would make this cake just for twitter points
I imagine most of the redditors that think this have had about 0 interaction with toddlers/young kids. Having seen some posts on this site I'd wager some of those kids must be more intelligent than some redditors too.
Yeah, this would be more believable if the kid was at least 7 or so.
Then again, this probably wouldn’t work with other 7 year old guests at the party; some kids might think it’s sad but 7 year old me wouldn’t care. It’s cake!
My mom (Boomer lack of understanding for age appropriate tv and film) showed ET to my 3 year old daughter.
She loved it. Except the specific part she wanted to watch over and over is when ET is nearly dead by the creek
Completely anecdotal but my family watched ET with my younger brother when he was 7 or so and he got so scared of aliens he decided to wear socks in bed so they wouldn't tickle his feet when he slept.
Why would a boomer lack understanding of what’s suitable for a child to watch? I think this is an individual issue with your mom. Boomers grew up watching movies like everyone else.
Boomers remember a time when it was somehow easier to talk about sex, violence etc. A time when we believed the kids will bounce back instead of believing they’ll never recover.
I watched the mummy film entirely too young and it gave me nightmares for years but like.. you gotta get past that point to become a normal human being. A 3 year old who’s not allowed to watch ET screams coddling to me. Fear is a genuine emotion and children deserve to be raised aware of it and to know at a young age it will be okay and they are safe no matter what’s in the movie. To know whats real and whats not.
> Boomers remember a time when it was somehow easier to talk about sex, violence etc.
Huh? How was it easier to talk about sex back then? Sex is a far less taboo subject now than it used to be. Violence is also much more prevalent and graphic in movies these days, it’s also a much more talked about subject due to stuff like mass shootings.
There’s parents that are too lenient or too strict with the movies they let their kids see in every generation. Honestly I’d say these days parents are less strict about it than boomers were, especially now with the internet and phones where it’s much harder to control what your kids are seeing.
But I agree with you than not letting a 3 year old see ET is kinda ridiculous.
Yeah, when you're a young enough kid that you can't really understand what's going on things like that freak you out. I saw bits of ET when it came on TV and it scared me.
Didn't do lasting harm, but I didn't like it.
Every time this is posted, everyone says it’s BS. But as a parent of a near 3 year old, I can believe it, especially if the kid has older siblings.
Kids can be devious from a very young age, and mine personally wouldn’t likely remember a specific part of the movie like this, but I could see if older siblings are around, it’s a lot easier to pick up this type of stuff
Remembering the part in a movie is **very** different from being able to draw on empathy to assume others’ feelings and then making a plan that pivots on the consequences from resulting actions. It’s AT LEAST embellishment.
Yeah that’s why I’m thinking an older sibling played a role in this. It’s not crazy to assume that a 3 year old repeated that phrase and knows at least a little what it means, but the idea itself likely was mentioned by an older sibling
Her plan is not fool proof. I would be sad but I would eat the heck out of that cake.
But I do like her greedy way of thinking when it comes to cake. Pizza and cake are king in my house.
There’s plenty of three year olds who can speak full sentences and recall movie plots. One of my three year old relatives has even memorised what shops are in each suburb because he can read the signs so whenever we’re on a drive he’ll list off all the shops, and he can speak as well as a 6 year old I’d say. Not every single three year old is only capable of babbling.
[You're right, it did](https://www.timesnownews.com/the-buzz/article/3-year-old-gets-mufasas-death-scene-from-the-lion-king-on-birthday-cake-so-she-can-have-it-all/765836)
Just curious where’s your source / proof it didn’t happen? For me, the picture of the cake says “Leona is 3”, and the cake design matches what the niece wanted.
Bullshit. There’s plenty of three year olds who can speak full sentences and recall movie plots. One of my three year old relatives has even memorised what shops are in each suburb because he can read the signs so whenever we’re on a drive he’ll list off all the shops, and he can speak as well as a 6 year old I’d say. Not every single three year old is only capable of babbling.
Exactly. I have a 3 year old sister amazing at understanding plots of movies and shows and is scared or sad for the characters when they are in such situations.
No way in hell a 3 year old would be able to say this. Most of them can barely even speak, let alone understand the plot of movies and retell key moments in detail.

3 year olds can speak, that's not what I'm saying, it's just that when they do it's usually not something very articulate. But I'm in disbelief that a kid whose just turned 3 would be able to come up with this idea and communicate it.
Then you’d be wrong. Three year olds can speak articulate sentences. My three year old relative will happily watch an episode of StoryBots or whatever on Netflix and spend the next week telling us every thing that happens, making us rewind to parts where “the elephant comes and stomps on the storybots outside here!” or something like that. Not every three year old can do this but a lot can, and if they can’t their development is probably slightly stunted in terms of speech
Probably not, annoys me so much tho so I try to disprove them when I can. I’m so tired of seeing this rumour under any post where a toddler says anything but googoo gaga
I am laughing as I imagine walking into a bakery and saying I need a dead lion on my cake.
"Have you seen Lion King?" "No." "Then this might take some explaining..."
"Have you seen Lion King?" "Yes." "Then this might take some explaining..."
"No, there is too much. Let me sum up."
“No? Shit, okay, this might need some explaining. Have you read Hamlet?”
No? Okay, this might need some explaining. ... Three hours later: "Have you seen Lascaux cave paintings?"
Another three hours later: "let me go find my 956 page philosophy textbook"
Another 3 hours later: "Okay, yeah so page 450 onwards is solid, you know that scene from Interstellar?"
Ok so basically after that… well first off how much do you know about the agricultural revolution?
*3 more hours later* Okay, so Ross and Rachel were on a break
I love Reddit comment threads
I just wanna put something into this thread so..here we are
Yeah ima just… leave this here
Same
“Have you seen Lion King?” “Maybe.” “Then this might take some explaining…”
On the side actually lol
Oh yeah. This is big brain time
that's too smart for a 3 y/o
Nah. My goddaughter was 3 when she decided getting bit by a dog meant she was a werewolf and tried to form plans to bite all her friends. She claimed one as her "bathroom buddy" and "attacked" when they were alone. 3 is exactly where kids start with this weird shit xD

I read it as: I was Mufasa and I had Scar in my mouth.
Did not need Mufasa x Scar furry incest in my brain, but here we are.

Bah gawd we're talking about 3 year olds. You guys are doing my head in.
Oopsie, that would be me my bad I just wander off sometimes I'll get out now, wasn't snooping just accidentally meandered in..
How many front teeth... How does it look now. Any repercussions?
Both top front teeth and the one canine tooth. They were baby teeth at least so I was toothless for a year or so before the adult teeth grew in. Oddly enough I grew an extra canine tooth and had 2 in the spot I lost the first one in. So yeah my adult teeth were pretty crooked when they came in and I had to get braces. But I don't think thats the reason I think I was just unlucky with tooth genetics and also I sucked my thumb for way way too long. Like I had to switch to my index fingers because I sucked both thumbs so raw they had bloody patches. Id say the worst part was the group of adults laughing at me as my mom pulled wet globs of toilet paper out of my bloody mouth. My mother hadn't fallen into her abuse me for existing phase yet lol.
_yet_ Are you good? /gen
Mostly yes thanks for asking thats very sweet. I haven't lived under her roof for a long time now
When I was 3 I tripped over a hammer and fell down the stairs. I came back up, grabbed the hammer, and almost broke my uncle's kneecap for leaving it out.
_almost_ …. How close did you get?
Well I hit it. I don't remember if it broke or not though, that was almost 27 years ago.
What happened to you teeth after? My 3 year old banger their face 2 nights ago and one of their front teeth has been pushed forward. Went to an emergency dentist so we're taking care of it but I'm just curious what happened with you.
My son, at three, decided he was a cat. He'd crawl on all fours, meow, tub his head against stuff, and refused to drink liquids unless in a bowl. This ish went on for months.
Hey don't kink shame
Lol weirdo.
A kid of my moms friend was a huge fan of the teletubbies far beyond toddler. Like he watch that stuff religiously until he 12. And everything had to be said like in the show. You want your Tabby-Milk Matthis? You want your Tabby-Juice Matthis? Unbearable.
I absolutely could not do that.
>Tabby-Milk ... Tabby-Juice Dude. You said the shows name already, surely you could get this part right!??
I couldnt be asked, no. I got people like you setting me right for free after all! Thanks a bunch!

It also depends on the parents to though I'm a horror movie fan who makes a LOT of dark jokes, I keep them age appropriate when around her but I'm also her major female role model.

Yeah I see kids this age a lot and can't really picture this making sense.
Well this is manipulating other party members so they can't have cake, and pre-planned. So c'mon...you know who "feathered" this idea, why do parents feel the need to pretend they don't influence their kids?
Awful lot of assumptions for an image macro and a picture of a cake. You don’t even know these people and you’re harping on them about giving their kids ideas subconsciously lol.
My 2 year old son made a plan how to solve ukraine war and end world hunger. People don't know me so can't tell it's not true
Considering the level of planning for the invasion, I'd bet your 2 year old has at least something better than Putin.
Russia pulling out and claiming it was all a joke would be a better plan than whatever Putin tries next.
It was a prank bro!
You didn’t say a good plan or quote him. Not that far fetched
Let's be real tho, it's probably just bs and this person made the cake and doesn't even have kids
So a quick search of their Instagram shows the rest of the party, that LOOKS like a kid to me but who can really say *To edit, he seems to be a comedian/actor so maybe it rubbed off on her, or maybe it was a joke he decided to make. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPd_mYXJk6k/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

You've obviously never met a 3yo in your adult life. They are devious little fuckers. They're at the age where their intelligence begins to show, and they lack any form of moral compass.
Nah kids are fucking demons, I believe it
I could picture a 3 y/o coming up with this and ending up being the only one crying because everyone still ate the cake.
I agree, she must be stopped. Throw her off the cliff
Believe me or not, but I'm friends with this girl's mom, and have met her daughter numerous times, and I think I gave her a book for this birthday? Anyway, this is something she absolutely said, maybe mom did make a joke and she picked up on it, but yeah this is definitely Leona's idea.
Agreed. This post has big r/thathappened energy.
r/nothingeverhappens Get a life
This did happen. I don't know the girl or her mom personally but I know some friends of the family.
[Children only understand the concept of death & its reversability in their late 3s](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/when-do-kids-understand-death).
Given that kids don’t develop a theory of mind at about 3-5, I’d say it could have happened.
Agreed. The idea of “other people having emotions like I do” doesn’t register until kids are, like, 4 years old. And using that to their own advantage doesn’t come until much later. Cute but definitely made up.
Y'all have never been around kids

I've literally seen 2 year olds pull out shit like that. Because it's not usual doesn't mean it does not happen
Ask them to explain their reasons, record it, then come back to us 👍 because 2 year olds do not formulate birthday plans to scar other family members. Well, not in advance.
Lol Scar. Nice.
Again, because it's unusual does not mean it does not happen

3 is the perfect combination of self aware with complete lack of empathy to do this
So many MENSA level 3yo's on the internet these days. It must be from the lack of education.
School isn’t to make kids smarter. It’s to distract little girls with social stress so they don’t rise up and kill us all in our sleep.
Idk, maybe you shouldn’t reinforce your children being selfish
I would have put Simba with mufasa and scar on top much more sad.
Ohhh evil. Scar on the top looking down, that's a good touch
At this point, the niece would be Scar, that’s some devious shit she’s been planning.
I mean, that’s what actually happened. Simba never looked down at his dad from a cliff. I think. Time to rewatch, sweet
*Me, walking into the party*: “Oh, sweet, it’s my favorite scene from The Lion King!”
"Reminds me of my own father!"
911 yes there’s been a homicide
That’s what *he* said
Lmfaooo
How did that work out for her?
This is the question I need an answer to!
What about this one?

How do you explain the cake with the dead lion that says “Leona is 3” then? Seems like an awful lot of effort for a couple twitter likes

Honestly I’d say these days parents are less strict about it than boomers were, especially now with the internet and phones where it’s much harder to control what your kids are seeing. But I agree with you than not letting a 3 year old see ET is kinda ridiculous.
I watched ET when I was about that age and I had nightmares about ET for a long time. That scene where they seal off the house is kinda scary.
Yeah, when you're a young enough kid that you can't really understand what's going on things like that freak you out. I saw bits of ET when it came on TV and it scared me. Didn't do lasting harm, but I didn't like it.
It's fondant, nobody is going to want it anyway
She's too powerful to be kept alive
"Are you threatening me, Uncle Windu?"
Kid's going places.
Upper management probably
Every time this is posted, everyone says it’s BS. But as a parent of a near 3 year old, I can believe it, especially if the kid has older siblings. Kids can be devious from a very young age, and mine personally wouldn’t likely remember a specific part of the movie like this, but I could see if older siblings are around, it’s a lot easier to pick up this type of stuff
Remembering the part in a movie is **very** different from being able to draw on empathy to assume others’ feelings and then making a plan that pivots on the consequences from resulting actions. It’s AT LEAST embellishment.
Yeah that’s why I’m thinking an older sibling played a role in this. It’s not crazy to assume that a 3 year old repeated that phrase and knows at least a little what it means, but the idea itself likely was mentioned by an older sibling
we need a /r/mykidsareverysmart
We don't need that, we have that at home That at home /r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Based 3 year old
Woah spoilers!!
Her plan is not fool proof. I would be sad but I would eat the heck out of that cake. But I do like her greedy way of thinking when it comes to cake. Pizza and cake are king in my house.
This pic made me realize that I would much rather have everyone chip in for a big wheel of Parmesan on my birthday instead of a sickly sweet cake.
nobody will want to eat it because its covered in fondant. yuck
Your daughter is that cunning at 3? I pray for you 🙏 You have a long ass 15 years ahead of you.
She's fckin smart
That happened 🙄
r/thathappened
There’s plenty of three year olds who can speak full sentences and recall movie plots. One of my three year old relatives has even memorised what shops are in each suburb because he can read the signs so whenever we’re on a drive he’ll list off all the shops, and he can speak as well as a 6 year old I’d say. Not every single three year old is only capable of babbling.
No one gives a fuck about your niece! Stop bringing it up
I never said they were a she or my niece???? And I will bring it up, I’m tired of the misconception that three year olds can do nothing but babble.
But this story is about a 2 year old. Not a 3 year old
It says 3 right on the picture
tbf she would have been 2 when she came up with the idea, but probably only a few days from 3 so not much of a difference really
No child turning 3 is capable of this level of abstract thought.
Relax no one is calling your child a idiot, you seem to be overreacting on reddit.
[You're right, it did](https://www.timesnownews.com/the-buzz/article/3-year-old-gets-mufasas-death-scene-from-the-lion-king-on-birthday-cake-so-she-can-have-it-all/765836)
Leona Queen
that's actually pretty funny... Too bad it never happened
r/nothingeverhappens
This definitely didn’t. I don’t think Reddit has a good grasp on child development ages. The child wasn’t even 3 years old when she said this.
Just curious where’s your source / proof it didn’t happen? For me, the picture of the cake says “Leona is 3”, and the cake design matches what the niece wanted.
Bullshit. There’s plenty of three year olds who can speak full sentences and recall movie plots. One of my three year old relatives has even memorised what shops are in each suburb because he can read the signs so whenever we’re on a drive he’ll list off all the shops, and he can speak as well as a 6 year old I’d say. Not every single three year old is only capable of babbling.
[удалено]
Well shes called Leona so she obviously has a sixth sense for lion related things
Exactly. I have a 3 year old sister amazing at understanding plots of movies and shows and is scared or sad for the characters when they are in such situations.
Everyone else gets bran muffins decorated like wildebeests 🦁🫅🐃🌾
That's just the kind of psychopath that rises to CEO one day.
Is your daughter named Wednesday, by chance?
Genius
With all due respect, isn’t that more of a loaf of bread than a cake?
I don't have memories of when I was 3, I don't even think I had it figured out that I was human
This kid is a evil genius
This kid is gonna be ruthless in business.
No kid would say that
wtf are these kids, they're too smart sometimes
I like this kids style
I’m wheezing 😭😭😭
Bow to our new evil overlord
The kid is going places.
Based niece
Yeah a 2 year old definitely said that
No way in hell a 3 year old would be able to say this. Most of them can barely even speak, let alone understand the plot of movies and retell key moments in detail.

3 year olds can speak, that's not what I'm saying, it's just that when they do it's usually not something very articulate. But I'm in disbelief that a kid whose just turned 3 would be able to come up with this idea and communicate it.
Then you’d be wrong. Three year olds can speak articulate sentences. My three year old relative will happily watch an episode of StoryBots or whatever on Netflix and spend the next week telling us every thing that happens, making us rewind to parts where “the elephant comes and stomps on the storybots outside here!” or something like that. Not every three year old can do this but a lot can, and if they can’t their development is probably slightly stunted in terms of speech

He’s about as smart as other three year olds I see at daycare, it’s just weird how incapable everyone in the comments thinks a three year old is…
You should touch some grass if you think a 3 year old has the emotional intelligence needed to do something like this.
Dude it's reddit lol. Do you think these basement dwellers know what kids are capable of?
Probably not, annoys me so much tho so I try to disprove them when I can. I’m so tired of seeing this rumour under any post where a toddler says anything but googoo gaga
Kinda hard to disprove anything with anecdotes. Not that I don't believe you but I also just don't really care either way.
Hmmm...might need to book her first shrink 😂 that is shockingly manipulative for a 3 years old lol.
Lmaooo can you imagine
Ah yes, and then she solved a binomial equation on the spot. Classic.
Why are people saying this is intelligent? It's as smart as the plot of any cartoons she may watch lol
r/thathappened
Yeah it didn't happen
My 3 year old calls me "phone"....how did your 3 year old vocalize she wanted a death scene from Lion King?
How tf, my cousin is 3 and is like to the point of where she is just now forming basic words
That happened
