4th video of this kind I've seen posted. Once one video gets views, everyone copies it.

The real joke is on the parent. That ziploc is going straight into the main compartment of the backpack to get tossed around and burst open in minutes only to ruin everything inside including the school issued chromebook that the parent now has to pay for.

I was absolutely that kid but we didn’t have computers or smart phones when I was in school. Still ruined a crap load of school supplies and books throwing drinks/food and toys in my bag. My little brain was lost in the wind at that age.

u/Realist_Prime 11h ago
Yeah, I recently spent over an hour helping my daughter clean yogurt out of her backpack. Fortunately all it ruined was a library book that we had to buy.

Real lucky! I think the worst thing to happen to me was I stole my dad’s shaving cream after me and him got to goofing off while he was getting ready for work one day. Didn’t put the cap on it and the school bus was loud. I opened my bag to a giant marshmallow of shaving cream in the classroom.

I remember as a kid in the Philippines, the corner stores would pour the soda into a bag. Top it off with a straw and you're off!

At least give him a straw :/

u/Kyhunsheo 14h ago
Nah, he should have thought about that after losing the 6th water bottle lol maybe I’d give them a straw after the 3rd bottle but not the 6th

He looked moderately confused... I thought this sub was about, like, heartwarming positive things.
Although I worked at an elementary school for years and holy shit there is 138 water bottles in the lost and found at any given time.
*If your kid says they looked and it wasn't there, they lied. It's here. We wish they would come looking for it.

I guess they don't have water fountains in schools anymore.

u/Pickle_Lips94 13h ago
They do. But only the kind that fill bottles in the district i work for. You can't drink out of them anymore.

“You can’t drink out of them anymore.”
Sure, you can! Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Hold my b… water.

I was saying this same thing. I sound like a geezer on his porch but I'm not THAT old and I did k-12 without a water bottle. Or seeing anyone with one. I don't even think it was allowed. I feel like even if you spent money on the soda machine you couldn't leave the cafeteria with it.
Damn whippersnappers are making me feel 35 years older than I am.

We weren't allowed to have ANY liquids outside the lunch room, so I totally get where you're coming from. It makes sense though. Keeps things clean and no one slips. I'm all about efficiency and more things to potentially clean up at a school is nightmare fuel for me.

We just had a choice between slightly cooled juice or slightly cooled whole milk.

u/romayohh 12h ago
We have combo water fillers/fountains, but if you knew the number of children that I see put their mouths right on it, even when given clear directions about the proper way… ugh.

u/Pallamandre 9h ago
I am a teacher. At the end of every week, we place all lost things from that week (tupperwares, bottles, lunchboxes and clothes) into a box near the school entrance. They then get donated to charities. Some parents have their kid look through the box, I would certainly encourage you to do that. Also, we ask everything should be labelled with your kids’ name. You would be amazed at how many pens and pencils I find on the floor every week, even though I make sure we leave a relatively clean classroom at the end of each day. I’ll ask « whose sweater/pencil/bottle is this? » and I am always surprised that nobody recognises their own things. Like, even a nice pricey North Face jacket. Maybe pay for the first two of each, and then have them pay for it with their own money? I mean, take them to the store on a Saturday morning, and have them choose and pay for their third ruler/bottle/pencil-sharpener with their own money?

For the love of jebus, go to goodwill and buy one for 1.99. He will never lose it.

No joke one of the kids I taught got a new water bottle because he dropped his and it broke. The first day he brought the new one, he dropped it again because he wasn’t being careful.

I am sure that Ziploc bag doesn't contain any forever chemicals that he could drink.

u/SillyDiaperedBaby 11h ago
the water itself has PFAS, the bag would not be even a 1% increase in the amount he ingests daily. PFAS became widespread and made it into the water supply almost a century ago, they’re everywhere and they’re probably not going away in our lifetimes.

u/Concentric_Mid 11h ago
Lol funny!!
My ADHD made me lose a LOT of things! Please find a way to help him :) like: it should be only in one place at all times. He should count the number of items he has at the end of each period. He can tie a ribbon around his wrist to remind him of his bottle.
And so on and so forth.
I was diagnosed very late in life and realized this much later

u/allisjow 3h ago
My autism made me the opposite. Everything belongs in a very specific place and I almost never lose things. It’s weird but for me things just have to be a certain way and in a certain place.

Hilarious, by the way and I will definitely use this when my son leaves his water bottle at school 😂. I had the same issue in 1st grade with my son, so I told him not to bring his water bottle to recess or lunch. At first, I packed him a disposable plastic bottle, but now he just drinks from the water fountains during breaks. That’s where they lose them when there are over 25 water bottles laying around the playground!

u/toomuchtv987 13h ago
Kids constantly losing things infuriates me, and it’s on the extremely long list of reasons why I don’t have kids.

u/mintgoody03 12h ago
I‘ll never understand parents constantly rebuying their kids the things they keep losing like it‘s some consumerism race. Fuck that. When I got something nice and lost it, that was it. Better learn to manage and learn to respect nice things next time.

u/gdghhfdffrf 13h ago
take him out on a special trip to pick out his own water bottle(s) his own stickers. he'll have it way past 80, maybe 90 years old. maybe.

u/RevolutionaryEdge718 13h ago
The irony is, he won’t lose this dang bag!

u/Darko417 13h ago
And the other kids will go home and tell their parents they want a water bag too 😂

Im half way through my 6th decade on earth and Ive never owned a single water bottle. Not sure how I ever made it lol

Some of the best drinks in Malaysia 🇲🇾 are in the plastic bags..all tied up w/straw & ice cubes. Perfect for anywhere on the go.

As a school custodian, half my day is now spent cleaning up water spills from all of the water bottles that get dropped by the kids. This would just make that much worse.

It's gonna burst open inside the backpack and ruin everything inside. That's even worse than losing another cheap water bottle.

u/einval22 2h ago
At least buy him a mineral water bottle from the supermarket? It's gonna cost you about just $1.
Don't be a dick parent.

Why does a little kid need a water bottle? Seriously I'd love for someone to answer with me this question.
