Stop It
Leave these poor people alone. Their son flew away in a balloon, for fuck’s sake. At least they thought he did. It turns out that the young boy had lied to them. He was hiding in the barn the whole time. It begs the question of why a seemingly normal young boy would suddenly do something so deceptive.
Things are generally more difficult for parents these days than they were in the 1950s, with the internet and all. Recent studies have shown that the internet can cause children to act out in anger. But angry at what, exactly? It can get pretty complex down there.
In conclusion, children need to be nicer to their parents. Parents usually try, but they sometimes fail. I don’t really understand why, but who does? The children? Not in this lifetime. Some would argue that people do things just to get attention.
