When kids have to go to work (Shaun the Sheep episode)

Our usual routine for when Quicksilver shows up at Oh-dark-thirty is for her to sit in my lap for four episodes of Shaun the Sheep while she wakes up. Each episode is six-minutes long. Most of the episodes are repeats but today we saw a new one that I thought was accurate.

What happens when a kid who is addicted to their smartphone works on a farm?

The behaviors shown in the video seem to peak when kids are 15. It takes them a while to figure out that when somebody pays them for their time, the other person OWNS that time and you are expected to do what they tell you to do.

  1. Submitting this episode to the boss as a training film for new hires.
    Honestly, many of them immediately sit down and play on their phones until told "You- do this task. Now. It is your job."
    Aside: one new hire is attending the local Prestigious University to be a Medical Doctor. She means well, but was unable to pay a bill by writing a check despite step-by-step instructions. We shredded the abomination as an act of mercy. The check, that is. She still means well and tries to do a good job. Methinks the future is bleak.
