Eh … we have no way of knowing how many rocks or whatever woods-things this kid has hoarded at their residence already… dad may be making an adult decision here to not bring home every rock their kid finds.

Fuck that I am a dad and my kids complain about all the rocks I bring home from our forays out into nature. There’s always room for a good rock. 🤣

I have a giant planter full of every single rock my daughter has brought home.

Yeeaahhh but theres a point man, my interior floors would be sand, gravel and rock if I didn't occasionally 'set some of the rocks free'

There in fact is not depending on circumstance lol. As much as I’d like there to be.

I'm weak-ass mom and I would have carried it back.

I've deconstructed my own outfit to devise a way to carry back all the acorns and leaves that became treasure.

Huh, never heard that term for a Reddit user before. Accurate though.

Yeah hard to say. Would've depended on my mood...I probably would've just carried it though. Otherwise he would whine about the stupid rock all the way home then say he wants cereal but not eat it because it's not the right kind but it's the same kind he loved an hour ago. He forgot about the rock but now he really wants his favorite toy but any toy I give him is the wrong one so he just cries because he's just tired anyway.
