I realize you’re making a funny but I wanted to point out just in case anyone took this comment seriously, this is not how any of this works. Being positive about your child’s accomplishments doesn’t spoil them. It’s setting them up for false expectations that does it.
I don’t think you’ve got it here bub. All effort does deserve praise. If your kid tried their best in an audition and is a tree and they continue to try despite it not being what they want either, then you praise them for trying so hard to be an awesome tree.
If your kid isn’t trying, you aren’t praising effort anyway.
Maybe there’s 5 kids that excel at drama in their 1st grade class. Who knows why. But if they tried and are a tree, so be it.
Nah. I love crass jokes, but even after reading your 3 different attempts to explain it, I still don’t understand what you think is funny, or even what part of it you think is the punch line.
Every day more and more child development research shows that one of the worst things we can do to our children is discourage them when it comes to participation. Even in jest these sentiments only perpetuate harmful childrearing.

If you have to explain your “joke” this much, then you should consider the fact that maybe it’s just not funny.

Wow, if you have kids, I hope you don’t treat them that way. You’ll be setting them up with the false expectation that their best isn’t good enough.

Your joke is only perpetuating ignorance and it is only really a joke because of that ignorance.
Someone criticizing your words or actions does not equal someone being offended.
