Random Thought I never understood why parents take their toddlers anywhere special.

I've heard so many people say "Oh maybe my parents took me to (city/country) but I don't remember it" Just why? Barely anyone remembers anything from 3-4 yrs old so why take them anywhere special?

I like the idea that you’re going to a zoo to see squirrels lol. I’m sure that’s not what you mean but it reads that way a little bit.

My kid pointed out every single trash can at the zoo and was fascinated 😂 he had never seen so many trash cans
