This is the cutest thing I have heard in days
Holy crap am I soon enough to be the first comment on this comment?
@@willparry530 I'm the second
@@liamzimmer5948 yep, you definitely are.
Also, that story was heartwarming with hopefully no lasting damage to the girl's imagination in the long term :)
That Mob would have a nice time with someone insulting me.
A really _"nice time"_ , vermins.
Is slash start your channel too?
Bards treated well and a little girl creating her own fairy tales with logic inserted to them
*MY HEART!*
Lessons on how to be an adventurer:
Adventure safely
Avoid lying even if it’s for a good reason
Cultivate laughter, not tears
Bring safety, not worry
i think this vid needs a little bit of a retitling. the "karen" was only mentioned for all of 10 seconds and most of the story was about a girl accidentally getting the neighborhood looking for an imaginary girl. there wasn't even any ruining anyone's love for fantasy at all.
Okay, I have to give benefit of the doubt here. The child didn't actually understand the difference, as she was 4 or 5, and was just having fun. This seems like a massive case of miscommunication. The lady shouldn't have yelled at her, though
agreed. on one hand,she DID cause some trouble with making people think there was a lost girl that needed to be found but on the other hand,that bitch needs to calm down: you don't yell at a kid that young (less of all as a total stranger).
Especially if she didn't even ask, i'm sure the girl would have said "Shes the princess in our adventure", If i was the dad i'd have told the woman to shut up and go back to demanding to see managers.
That lie was fantastic though what a smart kid
Oh yeah ALWAYS give the benefit of the doubt to skanks that yell at children.
@@naturallyartificial4090 Imagine spending half a day desperately trying to find a young child who you thought was lost. You'd be tired and upset. Then you find out it was all something a kid made up. Because you're both physically and emotionally exhausted you're brain reacts before your better judgment can.
We all make mistakes, especially when we're burnt out. Nobody's perfect. It's not like the lady kept yelling, so yes, take a moment, and give a little benefit of the doubt, perspective, and sympathy for the other side. Otherwise your no better.
I've done similar "choose your own adventure" type bedtime stories with my stepkid in the past. Nowadays, we play actual 1-on-1 TRPG games.
I saw your name and comment and got a bit sad you have nothing posted. You should record one of your sessions! Even if it's just one on one, seeing two people just have genuine fun would be a good time I think.
Thats amazing
😆 When bedtime stories slowly morph into all-night gaming sessions.
Cool 😎
@@codysingleton6262 Maybe we will do that sometime in the future. The videos would be in German, though.
Where's the Karen? It just sounds like a misunderstanding and a lot of understandably, angry neighbors, who all in all, sound like great neighbors since they all stopped everything they were doing to try and find this girl who may be lost. Plus it seems they forgave her for what happened which is something a Karen wouldn't do.
I think the Karen is supposed to be the housewife that yelled at the girl, but not sure. Karen seems like too strong a word for the situation
@@phantomspecter6223 Agreed
a total stranger yelled at a 5/6 year old who was just playing a game. that's pretty karen.
I think the woman who shouted at a little child is as Karen as they come.
If you start a panic over the words of a small child and you dont have the intellectual capability to ask who this Lisa character is and where you can find her parents (at which point the situation would've solved itself), you are the problem. And shouting at someone's kids and making them cry? A pretty Karen thing to do. Good for her the dad wasnt a barbarian with anger issues.
@@Govorars In hindsight, that sounds reasonable. However, panic could have been at fault there. Stress, and anger get the better of us sometimes. I don't know if I'd remember to ask the right questions to suss out the real situation, so I can't really blame the neighbors for failing in that regard. Especially, as Benkay mentioned, they were dropping whatever they were doing to help find a lost child none of them knew. When they discover it was just a game, a little shouting is understandable, even at a child. No, it's not justified, but I get it. Also, remember that the narrator said the people looked ashamed after the little girl started crying. It's not like they were intentionally trying to make her miserable.
All in all, I'd say that's not Karen behavior. Grown up mistakes made in panic with noble intentions, yes, but nowhere near as bad as a Karen
That's the best possible Karen encounter though, one that actually gave a damn and tried to help find a list child.
"daddy what's a bard" sweats nervously
well you see when a humane and a dragon love each other vary much-
@@johndavis-si2oo And when that same human also loves an Orc
@@ryancunard559 And a kobold, and a goblin, and a mimic, and that weird thing with three eyes...
And an elf
@@ezokdoom too far man, elves are too far....
My...... heart............ MY HEART WAS SHOT THROUGH THIS IS TOO CUTE
Shot through the heart and the bard's to blame. They give love a good vibe
It sucks she got yelled at, don't yell at other peoples' kids, but that's NOT a Karen. She seems like a genuinely worried neighbor.
She seems more like a bored busy body since she didn't bother getting any details about Lisa other than her name.
She did not even try to talk to the author's manager.
THE GIRL'S STORY ABOUT HER DAD IS BEYOND WHOLESOME OMG!
Holy hell! That ending where the Lil girl all but admits to faking the waterworks.... Nat 20 on manipulate all the adults.
She's a relatively wholesome bard in the making. I'd have just called her a bard but I feel weirded out by the implications.
Turns out the child is the real villain. Did they even mention her age? 50 feet from the house near a creek and woods alone if younger than 10 seems pretty bad, tho the father points out the kids possibly lied to go out. And she plays the crowd, lies and fakes tears. We see that everywhere today. Hell Salem witch trials children did that shit and people died. Guess we have to hope that father keeps her on the right path.
@@MasterGenshu The Salem Witch trials were also partially inspired by a child, Jennet Device, who caused the death of the "Pendle Witches", which included her own family.
@@DonnyDunne scary shit, piss your kid off and she has you freaking burned as a witch back then.
Dude might be a bard, but he's raising a rouge, lmao
I don't think it's fair to label anyone a "Karen" in this story. The adult thought a little girl had gone missing, which is a terrifying thought.
The lady is labeled a Karen because instead of calmly telling the girl what she did wrong, she YELLED at the child and made her cry. That is why she is Karen.
@@Kontaro431 Oh it was definitely wrong of her to yell at the girl, but it wasn't exactly irrational. She was shaken up and thought the girl had lied about a missing child for the sake of it.
ya don't yell shame at a 5/6 year old,no matter what they did (unless,of course it was actually harmful to them or someone else). sure the girl sparked some trouble and ignited a amber alert but i'd honestly have knocked the woman out for yelling at my kid because you just don't fucking do that (least of all as a total stranger).
@@JT5555 Again! Not saying it was okay! It definitely wasn't! I'm saying it was an understandable reaction given the circumstances, not an excusable one.
@@ceridwenaeradwr8105 Sorry but I disagree. A childs imagination is big, really big. As an adult your first instinct when dealing with a child has to be one of innocence. Go down to the child's eye level and ask questions: "What game are you playing? Who is this Lisa girl? Who are her parents? How long has she been missing/have you been looking for her." I believe this was a case of someone who just used her experience as an adult and forgot she was dealing with a child. It's her own fault above anything else what happened, not the little girl's.
Reminds me of my friend's granddaughter- she's about the same age and thanks to the fact that we all play TTRPG's the kid has spun some fantastic stories of her own.
"Tell me a story daddy"
"Have you ever heard the tragtity of darth plagus the wise"
Oh shit here we go again
"tragtity"
@@slice-the-pi yeah I'm a bad speller
@@troperhghar9898 It is a capital offense.
"I thought not. It's not a story the jedi would tell you"
Seriously, that's something that could have happened with me and my friends when we were that age, even without knowing about bards.
That was adorable though I don't think the women was a Karen. She might have overreacted but she was outside for hours(?) looking for a made-up little girl. I love how the girl and her friends were like "ok time to go home and relaxed" and none of the adults said or noticed them missing.
I would imagine that once the adults got started, they'd send the kids home. On the other hand, somebody would've presumably asked the kids questions to figure out details - where did you last see her, what was she wearing, where are her parents, etc.
@@Gigawolf1 The Dad/OP wasnt there maybe the kids gave details based on the character. A Little girl dressed as a princess wouldnt be strange unless they live in a comminity that bans asigning gender via clothing and prefrances. Or whatever the hell it is they call that.
The title is a bit misleading, ATD. My first thought was of a lady who argued that the kid had to me more practical and stop believing in fairy tails. The way this woman was outraged makes sense. I don't think it was particularly ok to call her a Karen for it.
As a bard player this is so heartwarming!
This is actually so wholesome bless this girls heart and praise to the dad for creating another rpg lover an amazing and intelligent one to boot
"what does lisa look like" wouldve solved this entire freakin issue
Then the kids describe how they imagined the princess to look like and we're back at square one
I don't think a small laps in judgement, especially after a very stressful situation, would qualify calling her a Karen. Based of information provided 'Karen' seems a bit much.
The Karen could be the mom I am now thinking this after Taboo X asked whether the Karen was the person shouting at the child or the mom
The Angry Woman backed down afterward without incident?
Yeah, that's not a Karen. The true Karen will keep fighting until the police arrive... sometimes not even stopping there! Hahaha.
Cute story, though.
“My daddy is a bard” aaaaaaand cue the tears. 😭😭
ima say this before watching the video
SMITE THE KAREN!!!!
edit: that wasn't a Karen...this was more of a misunderstanding if anything
Who, exactly is the Karen of this story?
One would think its the woman that yelled at Kat for "lying" but the mom seemed kinda karenish for berating what dad and daughter do to bond.
Everybody in the comments: she wasn't a Karen yelling at the kid was wrong but it was a understandable reaction to the situation
Taboo X: what if the mom was the Karen?
Me: *sitting in shock as I realize he is probably right*
This reminds me of when my brother and I were little kids. I would go lay in my brother's room (his was big enough for both of us) and my dad would go sit on the other end. We would snuggle up in our blanket, and our dad would continue "The Endless Story." It's named after "The Never Ending Story," a book which was adapted into an awesome movie, but we didn't know at the time. Anyway, my brother and I would go on these adventures throughout a fake world, and we would decide what we would do (like in this story.) It wasn't really fantasy, and often times my dad would put in characters like Mario and Luigi. Easily the standout moment was the endless hallway of doors, which was just such a cool image.
This was hardly a Karen situation. The adults were in the right to be upset over what happened.
Every adult involved was in the right to be upset at the Karen who decided to start a search party for an imaginary kid she didn't even bother to ask the description of.
Not exactly a Karen just a concerned neighbor. Not quite what I was expecting but I'm happy to be wrong
I feel like Karen was misused in this situation. While I don't think the lady who yelled at the girl was entirely in the right; she was understandably upset; and probably believed the girl had made mischief on purpose.
Plus, she was willing to drop everything and go looking for what she thought was a missing girl.
Wow, getting the whole neighborhood to roleplay is a power move
I still do the same thing with my youngest. We started when Sammi was 5, she's 15 now. The stories are based on Skyrim. Sammi's character is a Kajeet(sp?) named Hope Ebonclaw, my character is an Imperial named Traviso. Hope is Trav's adopted daughter. It's a long story. Ok, to the point. Sammi actually has notebooks full of stories about the adventures of Hope and Traviso. I've read some of them, with a little polish, they're publishable. I'm so proud.
This is so hilarious to me because I was EXACTLY like Kat when I was younger! I used to lead little make believe games at school and my classmates and I liked playing them so much we’d talk about what would happen next in the middle of class 😂 My parents were even called in once and the teacher said that I had an “overactive imagination” and needed to learn when to play and when to do my work
Dad thinks this is cool, until his daughter realizes she can play a three foot tall giant with a sleeping wolverine curled up on her head. Then it gets fun.
Lol larp misunderstandings so cute and funny 😂
Ahh yes the regular fantasy trio of knight, heavy weapons guy, and wizard
Yes, that is a total "d'awww" story. The title makes it sound worse than it actually is, so I was worried.
Half way through I considered crying, but I'm a cleric and that wouldn't do. (Hides behind heavy armor and shield to protect soft weepy innards.)
That little girl rolled a nat 20 for her deception check with that Karen.
Yep this girl's going to grow up to be a bard. While on an adventure she comes up with a ruse to distract the entire Village and when things start to fall apart she lies through her teeth to avoid responsibility.
Also there was no Karen's in the story. As someone who has spent their day on multiple occasions looking for a missing person; I'd be ticked off too if I found out it was a hoax.
That is a WELL DONE Deception check, little bard!
While I’m not saying he’s a bad dad this makes me greatly appreciate how protective my family is of each other, in the same scenario any of our family members, especially the men, would be furious at the Karen.
Kindergarten essays? A kindergartner going out by themselves like that? Not sure I can suspend my disbelief for all that.
Having been a (substitute, admittedly) teacher, I can tell you that in this day and age, there darn well *are* essays at the kindergarten level. They might only be a short little thing to show that they're learning words and how to write their letters, but I saw more than a few instances of asking kids to write about things on a level that I can honestly say in my childhood wasn't expected until at least grade 3 or 4.
And as for the kids going out by themselves, it's said right in the video that either the mom made an exception to the dad's rule about there being a parent there to watch them, or the kids lied and said that another of the group's parents was going to be there. They likely weren't let out alone *intentionally,* unless the mom just ignored the rule and let them go out alone. Also, I'd say it depends entirely on where they live; some places still cling to the good values of letting kids play outside.
For once, the Karen is actually partly right. Everyone overreacted, but the parent is also at fault for not predicting that their child might retell their stories and not clarify that they were just fantasy stories. Kid is just a kid who may a mistake, so nothing to get angry with, but a non-violent expression of anger is sometimes what is needed to get a lesson to stick (or at least to give the lesson a firmer foundation to stick to when someone kinder explains the situation).
One of the best yet. Thank you.
so she's in kindergarten, likes to choose her own adventures, then her imagination blows up, and gets friends to LARP and refuses to break character? sounds like an epic DM in the making, or a real-life "goonies" will happen one day.
I can understand their frustration. But despite their annoyance, none of them apparently cared enough to get the police involved. Instead of yelling at a 5 year old who thought they were playing a game, you'd think they'd all be thankful that all was well, and nobody was missing a child.
"Does the bard have any kids."
"Well honey that's a bit of a loaded question. "
This reminds me of a situation quite a few years ago now... back in the 90's when we were playing a sci-fi campaign based on modern (at the time) urban legends... AND while the usual rotation of RPG-Hosting had hit a snag with one of the guy's houses getting some refurbishments, we decided to play at a local restaurant that kept reasonably late hours and didn't mind (what with our spending habits when we hung out there)...
SO I was running the thing, and with an imminent confrontation between aliens insurrecting society in general and a mafia/yakuza connection, one of the hot-spots for action was "Area 51"... and while not officially declassified, I'd been to Vegas and followed through with some old fashioned footwork (I was never big about gambling anyway) and ridden by the place on my motorcycle... SO I actually knew what everyone was talking about... (I'm a sucker for myth and lore anyway, so such investigation is a hobby)
ANYWAYS... At the Gaming Table, I'd decided to tie the thing together with the famous Roswell Incident, and gave directions out of Roswell (a whole state away)... something like "We'll just hit Roswell and hang a left turn at the second red-light... It's probably just a few miles out of town."
Well... apparently, someone a couple tables away from us had been overtly paying attention to our game, and this snazzy little tid-bit was too much for (we'll call him) Mr. Conspiracy Theory to resist. He whipped his chair around and stood up, practically towering over our table in a couple moments...
"Wait! Wait! Wait!" He waved his hands around. "That place really exists??? I mean, that's where it is? In New Mexico???"
I looked around nervously at the other guys and a gal at my Table... AND then formally called a halt to the Game... "Out of Game a moment, guys..."
I sighed, looking this guy over first. Then I decided not to obscure anything. He had "the look" and I could tell his energy was just a little too high for someone suddenly casually excited about maybe hearing more about an Urban Mythos... "Alright, no... It's not true, entirely." I explained. "I'd rather not contribute to my fellow Players here getting into trouble accidentally on my account.... SO I just made that part up."
"BUT Area 51" Mr. Conspiracy Theorist protested.
"Oh, that's real." I nodded. "It's just nowhere in New Mexico. It's about 25 miles outside of Vegas. There's big fences and walls with razorwire over the top. It gets patrolled regularly by armed men in black-out SUV's and they ARE cleared to shoot you on sight. If you get the chance, I'd highly recommend driving by the place... you know... just to see it. Then you know what everyone's talking about. BUT that's it. Drive past it, and don't bother any further. It's not smart messing around where lots of well armed and probably well trained personnel will KILL you."
"But it's just outside of Las Vegas? Like... Nevada?" He asked.
"Yeah." I nodded again. "Where better to hide something than within spitting distance of one of the biggest tourist traps in the U.S.??? Why else would there be legal prostitution and nearly free booze 24/7/365???"
My explanation calmed him down a little bit, and at least he seemed satisfied with the talk. He went back to his table where several other people were rolling their eyes already, and we returned relatively peacefully to our Game... We occasionally share a laugh about that one... "The day I was accosted over Area 51"... ;o)
I love this story, nice that you got to it. I believe there are more parts too.
I see your bringing a new apprentice, and she is strong in the force, if thats her acting and imagination at the age of five then i cant imagine how much more powerful she is older... probably she’ll end up a writer or actress who knows?
She's a girl of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will
Soon i want to do my first dnd session
Man I can really relate to the story I used to do this all the time adventuring off into the woods oh man that's such that was so fun 🗡️😋
It's a awesome story. Dad and daughter are both lucky.
YOUR CHILD JUST GOT A NAT 20 *IN REAL LIFE!*
You sure your not in HER reality?
'Ight get the torches and pitchforks we've got a karen to hunt down
A good Copper Dragon such as my self is a good example that there is a very thine line between someone who is peaceful and someone who is a pacifist. And by thine line, I mean a difference of 500 miles.
Once you realize there is evil lurking about seeking to threaten peace, you no longer have an excuse to not defend what you love.
Soldiers and civilians being seperated into 2 different classes is a human idea.
Another amazing story.
Sounds to me the crowd overreacted a wee bit. Good on the neighbors for being concerned enough to look for what potentially could've been a lost child in the woods, but you'd think they'd be relieved that there's no lost kid that probably didn't belong to someone in the neighborhood. And did she seriously not ask who "Lisa" was? "Oh, Lisa's the princess we're looking for" probably should've been enough to turn off any alarms-says me, someone without kids, so my perspective might be off base.
Wonderful! I did things like this with my daughter!
This entire story just sounds like a simple misunderstanding and blowing it out of proportion. Videos are great, but this doesn't sound like a "Karen" just more like a woman who was frightened about a little girl being lost and then being told it was a game.
How is everyone doing today
Kat has a great future ahead of her as an actress or storyteller.
This sounds like dungeon master bootcamp. I like it!!
I love this sooooo much
This was wholesome AF! ❤👍👍
Who else that when she said "daddy, when a hero lies to do good it's okay right?", She meant she was fake crying to make the neighbors stop?
ARGH! My feelz! You got me right in the feelz!
I can understand why the mob would be upset but this was a big misunderstanding poor little girl 🥺
I had a similar thing happen when I was a kid when we where playing and one of my friend used my houses old rotary phone to call the police in the game but didn't realise that it was an actuall phone and actually called them, we only realised this when a policeman arrived at our house.
Definitely needed more communication between grown ups.
A few years and we might read her published books!
I dont care about the neighbor mix-ups, kids do dumb things or at least miss social cues... they're kids. The highlight of that story is the girl's essay. I got a little daughter and that got me right in the feels.
Is anyone else questioning this kid's ability to speak so well? Or is this how kids are supposed to be?
I can understand the neighbors' anger over having their emotions unintentionally manipulated... they were probably deeply worried about the kid they thought they were trying to help find...
Now, they did take out their anger in the wrong way and didn't fully listen to the explanation ... but yeah... their frustration isn't entirely unwarranted...
Though they should have realized it was very unlikely that this 6 year old would intentionally manipulate them... at least not without any other indications of sociopathy
Love this
“They decided that the little girl needed a name… They decided to call her Lisa”
*record scratch*
It was at this moment I knew (how) they fucked up
Splendid.
So everyone searches for ‘Lisa’ but no one calls the child’s parents. What kind of search party is this.
Omg it was heart mealting
Some kids still have imaginary friends, so before you call everyone to search for a child based solely on one name for a child you have never heard of or seen always ask - who is the child’s parents are or were do they live. And of course and most importantly, what do they look like. This so basic for anyone dealing with children and the possibility of looking for same. It takes only a couple of minutes and really pays off.
if it was me, I would say that as a "general rule" lying is always bad, though there are 3 types of lies: comission, omission and lies of influence. at which point the depth of the subject can probably earn you Phd in college if you wanted to. so yeah, leave it at that with the child conversation (if you wish)
And on that day, Karen (hopefully) learned to never rush into a quest without listening to the briefing and asking the necessary questions.
Tbf I can completely relate. I dont think id have even stopped to get help looking
I need a TL:DR version here.
I lost it at my daddy's a bard.
Lots of daw, no Karen. Goid enough for me.
"Tell me a story"
*recites the entirety of the princess bride*
Ok. While the woman should not yell at the kid she had all right to be upset. Calling her Karen here is unfair. She could have just ignored bunch of kids playing in the woods but she took action instead, and wasted time. Maybe she missed her appointment to help searching for imaginary child?
"I thought she was calling more freinds"?
That was so cute
Great!
Well dang. I guess I've been programmed by RPGs to murderhobo because of the EXP drops. It's not like you get equal or greater rewards by scaring foes off or resolving peaceably. Okay so if I don't farm the boars in the forest for food and EXP, can I tame them for a stampeding boar army and get my own King Dire Boat mount? It would totally be like the dwarf from battle of the 5 armies LOTR. I could have my extended dwarf family be called the Boar Bros and have a Winged Boar on our banner!
ah yes the worst possible thing around. Bored house wives.
This reminds me of the Tripod song “Bard”
That is SO sweet
Oh my god that's adorable.
D&D, at it's core, is about fun, and that's what really counts.
Rules lawyers be damned.
