Fuck that, cut me a slice right through the middle of mufasa
- Remember kids there will always be a bigger psycho than you no matter how psychotic you are .
  
  Title
  
  Also came here to say that . Beat me to it .
- Yeah, kids are mean little fuckers. Most would love this cake.
- I’ll eat the Simba!
Might as well make her a republican or CEO right now!
You get an entire cake to yourself but it's covered in fondant. Congrats kid, you played yourself.
- Wdym? Fondant is the best part of the cake!
  
  Isn't Fondant basically play-doh? Like technically edible but just tastes awful
Not sure if this is a big brain move or a precursor to a sadistic.
- Kid's just on the right side of history.
  
  There are no just kings, the end of Mufasa and his literal reign of terror is cause for celebration.
People let less-than-3-year-olds watch The Lion King?
- Honestly betterr than what I was watching, who the fuck lets a 4 year old watch fucking Day After Tomorrow? And thats on the lighter side, I still cant enjoy Japanese horror because my mother decided that watching the original Japnese version of the Ring with her small child was a great idea. Just glad I grew into slashers.
- I was thinking the same king. Media consumption for a 3yo, total, per day, should be less than 30 minutes. And probably should not include The Lion King, cartoon or not.
  
  My issue with it wasn't screen time, it was the disturbing death scene.
- Yes. Circle of life and hakuna matata are great songs. Besides, Hamlet is a good story. Or the Northman or whoever was first.
This post is so old that the kid is probably in her 40s now.
- It seems that nobody creates anything new any more. Everything is a rehash of better days gone by.
  
  People produce plenty of new content it's just for some reason we rehash the old stuff.
3! = 6

Not very impressive this time..
- I read it as 3 != 6 and thought "well, yeah, what about it?"
I think sad ppl eat more cake
Always Look On The Bright Side of Life
Yeah, no one would wanna tear some cake up because they're sad
What kind of parent has already shown their kid Lion King at age 2 wtf
- My thought exactly
Said no two year old ever. This place is full of a bunch of fucking idiots without any real life experience.
- 3, normally I'd agree, but this isn't too far fetched for a 3 yo to grasp. Far more likely than those obvious exaggerations for sure.
  
  It just seems out there because the parent already did all the hard work of figuring out what the hell they were trying to say and translated it from toddler speak for us
  
  It probably went something like this:
  
  What cake do you want?
  
  Sad Lion King!!!
  
  Why sad?
  
  <15 minutes later>
  
  Ok, so you want the sad scene in Lion King where mufasa dies, why?
  
  I want ALL my cake!!!
  
  Why?
  
  <Another 15 minutes later>
  
  Oh, you want the Lion King part where the lions dad dies so everyone at your party will be too sad to eat any of it right?
  
  Yea!!...no‽
  
  <Another 15 minutes explaining your sentence and getting confirmation>
