. . . that you have no life: You leave yet another snarky comment on a 10 year old’s YouTube video about how he tagged his video as “origami†when clearly it isn’t. What, the first few objections weren’t enough?
. . . that you will never have a life: You leave this comment on a 10 year old’s YouTube video–â€do u get beaten up at school? u wood at mineâ€.
. . . that you’re a good dad: You spend the better part of Saturday morning fixing the description that you wrote for your kid’s YouTube video so that the crazies in the world will stop leaving weirdness in the comment section.
The tags never said origami. The video never claims origami. The whole thing is how to make a great paper box. And for those origami purists – the ones where scissor use is verboten – unless you take *time* you don’t get a clean, straight edge. Scissors simply make it easier for a 10 year old… and candidly for me too. As for the comment about getting beaten up in school – clearly someone has an inferiority complex… but my odds would be on G and his Tae Kwon Do… *never* judge a book by its cover.

You know, it’s funny. He’s such a pacifist and isn’t prone to fighting… but I don’t worry about him. As for the rest, good for you for fixing it. 😀 ~W
This video was so delightful.. I had heard that there was a nasty element amongst the you tuber comment crowd and this proves that point.
And in the great big world of public school ( clearly where this comment evolved).. getting beaten up or verbally harrassed is a sign you have at least a speck of individuality. We deal with it constantly. The person who left that comment is a sad little person
Keep being yourself, BW.. you are the coolest kid ever.
(And way to go, dad.)

I’m so sorry you deal with anything like that! And you’re right… difference is rarely embraced in our culture.~W
Oh. my. lanta. For Pete’s sake, and Virginia’s too…that’s why I turn the comments off on my videos. I just cannot handle weird criticism like that. And misspelled critcism at that.
Nice job, Wonder Boy. It’s a fantastic box.

Heh… my suggestion as a response was, “No, we don’t have time to bully other people—we’re too busy learning to spell.” 😀 ~W
Some people just suck. Ick.

Yep! Welcome to the internet. I don’t let it get to me. much. ~W
Looks like some wind damage below. That’s interesting about the You tube. I hadn’t remembered that people leave comments. Hmmm…

Just a wee bit. We survived. And there is no accounting for what people feel compelled to say. I mean, listen to our President! ~W
That’s a GREAT video. I think BW is has a delightful presence-plus, now I know how to make a box! The hazards of the net include the nit pickers, nuts and no-nothings.

Ah yea, I don’t let the crazies get to me. As for the video, it cracks me up. He clearly watches too much HGTV. ~W
Ah yes. The nutty commenters. I hope BW was not daunted by them. His video is awesome.

Nah, he doesn’t let it get to him. In fact, if you’re not his parents, I don’t think you can rile him! However, we can do no right these days. 😀 ~W
He’s just such a joy to behold, your son. What a face. I would go on but I’m afraid I’d embarass him.

Oh, thank you. He has his moments. Lately, we’re in the middle of pre-teenage angst. Oh joy. 😀 ~W
I suppose you know you’re popular when the snarky anonymous people start leaving their 2 cents…idiots! I loved the video…I thought it was wonderful!

Thanks, Sadira. He’s very proud of that, since other than video it and give him a few pointers about slowing down, he did the whole thing himself. 😀 ~W
That’s a great video, and I’m just generally of the opinion that anyone who leaves a comment like that is airing their own issues in an unproductive way.

I agree with you. I couldn’t help but wonder about that kid’s mom. If MY kid was doing stuff like that, there’d be some noise!! ~W
How clever to construct a cover for a gift!
The cost of wrapping has caused many a rift.
I like how Georges thinks outside the box.
This video knocked off my children’s socks.
And, though this may seem weird to you,
That number of socks would be 22.
People who split hairs regarding origami
Can oft be heard yelling for mommy.
And, bullies who threaten get a big, fat zero;
At our homeschool center, he’d be a hero.

I love this! Even better that you left it on his video!! Thank you. 😀 ~W
Excellent video – he should be very proud! Great idea for Christmas too… I’d better get practicing!
_____________________________________
Oh, yes, he’s very proud of it. In fact, he’s jonesing to make another video! ~W
Georges was perfect! This site: http://www.videojug.com/ is more friendly and draws a how to crowd. He might fight fewer ah…jerks… there.
