DID HE MAKE IT??

he makes it

THANK FUCKING GOD

Ok I saw a rb of this with some context and I only remember like half of it so I’m also using Google I may get some of this wrong

But apparently the “first errand” thing isn’t just a cute little fact about the little kid, it’s a totally real thing done in Japan to teach kids that they can like rely on the community to offer assistance if they need it. They send their kids (like 2-3 years old) out alone to perform a relatively simple errand like going to a convenience store and buying a carton of milk. (There’s even a tv show where a camera crew follows children as they accomplish this first errand.) It’s not uncommon to see kids as young as 6-7 riding the subway alone because they’ve gained this sense of independence that comes from knowing that there will be people to help out if they need it.

Oh my god that’s even better

i was not aware of that cultural tradition. that is sort of amazing. i… am not sure i’d recommend it in other countries.

That’s a hell of a custom. Speaks to a hell of a cultural difference than here in the US.

Hell, it’s explains a whole lot about Pokemon altogether.
