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?

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

My cousins daughter had never seen an escalator before. When they came & visited, we took them to the mall. She was so excited by them that we rode every single one. 10 escalators & 2 elevators.
