Today, it was my daughter's birthday. She had been wanting a cat for a long time, so I went to the animal shelter and got an orange one. As soon as she saw it, she ran upstairs screaming, "GINGER! GINGER!" She refuses to come downstairs until I get rid of "the soulless creature." FML

That's some real good mental conditioning, she must have real good role models to inspire such hate for a simple hair colour

I love what South Park teaches kids. But you should teach her that everyone has a soul except for Snooki.

How old is this kid? I'm thinking mid-20's and still living at home.

Maybe you should make your kid camp out in the woods for a few weeks with nothing except the orange cat. Shell learn to love it.

I'm thinking the only creature whose life sucks here might be the cat, if you take it back on the account of its FUR COLOR. Tell your daughter she's an idiot and maybe she's the one that needs to check about having a soul.

If your daughter is under the age of say...7, then maybe you should just oblige as she probably does not possess the ability to cognitively decipher that what she is saying is ridiculous. However, if your daughter is older than that, you need to tell her to stop being such a spoiled brat and be grateful that you got her a cat like she had wanted. Beggars can't be choosers. Also, try using a little discipline, because a child who acts like this obviously does not have enough of it.

I'm being lenient because some children just simply do not possess that level of cognitive development until later. If an adult told his daughter that and she is only 7, she probably does not understand that she is being ridiculous. Until she's about 10-11 actually, she'll automatically believe anything an adult tells her. It's just how kids are. Heck, they believe a fat man in a red suit flies around the entire world in one night by reindeer and slides down their chimney to give them gifts. If she's not yet at the age to question the existence of Santa Claus, she does not yet understand that she's being foolish.

Idiocy. If she's under the age of 7, it's especially important to get her started with good bases, to explain that she's being cruel and unfair etc. Will you let children grow up being filthy racists just because of some bull***t excuse like "oh, they're still young, so the KKK costumes and all are just innocent play, I shouldn't bother explaining that it's bad, they can't understand"?! Well, it's the same thing. They can and should understand, they're a child, not a dog. Parenting is about teaching your children throughout their growth. Not leaving them aside to be horrible people and just assuming you don't have to do your job because "they're young".

If an adult told her that, a smarter adult (hopefully her parents) need to correct it.

Did I ever once say that her parents should not correct the situation? No matter how old the child is, the parents need to right what is wrong, but forcing the child to co-habitate with something she thinks is a soulless creature while teaching this lesson could prove to do more damage than good. The parents need to fix this, but her age is a factor which determines if they fix it with or without the cat in the house. Duh.

Okay so if keeping the cat will damage her (Although so funny) what if you dye her hair and give her freckles? Please watch the south park episode if you haven't. It'll show the little girl that it's merely a color of your hair and skin and if that's too much the mom and dad should. This girl needs to be taught by a good parent not a show. South park is awesome, but it is directed to a mature audience that no airheads should watch. P.s Does she have a older brother? This could be one of his pranks.
