thats the worst shit only because my mom basically always thought I was being a little bitch when I’d complain that it still hurts your eyes

WAIT I THOUGHT IT MEANT THAT IF YOU GOT IT IN YOUR EYES IT WOULDN’T BURN (no crying)

ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT IT’S SAYING NO RIPPING?

*FLIPS TABLES* THIS IS WHY THE ENGLISH WRITTEN LANGUAGE IS CONFUSING AS FUCK I AM SO SORRY NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS.

Why doesn’t it say fucking anti tangle?!

I JUST MADE BOTH MY PARENTS READ THIS I AM SO ANGRY

THEY ARE ANGRY

WE JUST HAD AN ARGUMENT ABOUT ‘TIER’ ‘TEAR’ AND ‘TEAR’

THEY THOUGHT IT MEANT NO CRYING TOO

I AM SO ANGRY

BULLSHIT, SHIT TO THE BULL

WE HAVE THIS SAME EXACT SHAMPOO IN MEXICO

IT SAYS  ”NO LAGRIMAS” AS IN NO TEARS IN CRYING

“No More Tears” means exactly what your parents thought it meant, whether it worked or not. (My mother still made damn sure it didn’t get in our eyes, I must remember to thank her again.)

(Apologies to anyone who speaks a language in which “tangles” translates to “tears.” In English, it does not.)

I distinctly remember having this conversation with my mom when I was five. She told me it wouldn’t hurt my eyes and I said it did and she was so annoyed at the shampoo for lying

Novocaine in Baby Shampoo (from Snopes)

That story has been going around since at least the early ‘80s, that I know of.

The detangling interpretation was a new one to me when I first saw that post going around here. It would also make more sense for them to just say “no more tangles”, if that were the point.

Teaching kindergarten is like being an ambassador to beings from another planet and teaching them how to assimilate to our culture.
“No, we do not LICK water fountains. Perhaps that is acceptable on your planet, but here on earth we prefer to DRINK from water fountains.”
“Physics might be a little different on your planet, but here when you throw things they typically fall and break.”
“Grabbing people and shaking them violently is not considered a proper greeting on this planet.”

This is real.

it’s not just kindergarten. i used to be a ccd teacher’s assistant and i’ve spent classes pretending to be a military officer because i had one student (for 2 years) who would have moments where he believed he was in a war zone and would pretend to be using weapons and so i’d use stuff i remembered from my dad playing video games in order to discipline him (verbally, of course) and lemme tell you that worked better than just telling him to stop. i figured “if i go along with it and use it to keep him behaved, it might work better than lecturing him.”

needless to say, he was well behaved and a really smart kid with insightful commentary. i think if people took this approach in parenting and teaching- we’d have better retention rates and less problems. trying to understand the kids makes a difference.
