This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Allowing a four year old to bathe alone seems irresponsible.

When I was two, I tried to get out of the bath but the side was slippery. I cracked my head open, my mom came in to see a blood covered baby, and I got six stitches at the hospital. My first emergency room visit! Also my earliest memory. Just the hospital bit though.

4yo
peak autism stage.

Hahahahahahahahaha huzzhuzz, sweet summer child. At this stage actual autism is practically dorment between general kids stupidity… or maybe thats what they meant, cant tell. Actually autistic here.

dies in bath

This is an incredible common situation, specifically slipping and getting knocked out and drowning Baths are dangerous. Always stay within immediate intervention and hearing distance when there is a young kid in the bath.

Its a very serious risk for children but also elders.

Yeah, ill always stay only one room away from my 3y old taking a bath. Theyre kids, doing kids stuff. And thats often stupid and probably fatal

When I was 7 I was taking a bubble bath, and gave myself the full Santa beard like kids do. My mom came in to check on me and it startled me when the door opened, I inhaled sharply/gasped, breathed in a shit ton of soap bubbles and couldn't breathe, coughed so much I almost passed out, and fell below the water. My mom thought I'd died, scared the shit out of her

What if? What if I'm taking a shower and I slip on a bar of soap?... Oh my god, I'd be killed!
