Can we please stop bringing crying babies to places they clearly don’t want to be??

I saw a clip of Emma Raducanu at the Cincinnati Open asking for a crying child to be taken out and people were acting like she was some sort of villain. It’s tennis. You’re supposed to be quiet. A toddler isn’t going to sit still for that long anyway, so she was honestly doing the kid a favor. I don’t understand why some parents insist on bringing babies to events where silence is part of the experience. I went to see Max Richter in Boston once. Just five musicians on stage in this beautiful old theatre. First song finishes, and then a baby starts crying. The acoustics were so perfect you could hear every little sound. And yes, that included the crying. It’s just… why? #EmmaRaducanu #TennisLife #PublicEtiquette #Sports #Tennis

We Passed Her Twice. That Should Be Impossible.😱

We run remote trails most weekends. This one, deep in the mountains outside Seattle, was steep and silent. Midway up, we passed an older woman in all white. Modern gear, maybe 70. One hiking pole. No smile, no reply. We didn’t think much of it. Thirty minutes and nearly three miles later, we hit an impassable ridge. And there she was again. Same clothes. Same woman. There were no forks, no turn-offs, and the trail was tough even for us. She would’ve had to pass us without us noticing—on a single-track, uphill trail. She spoke this time: “Seems like the trail ends here.” Calm. Not creepy. At the time. We turned back. Didn’t see her again. But we should have. There was nowhere else to go. And now, I can’t stop thinking—was it the same person? Or something else entirely? #GlitchInTheWoods #CreepedOut #UnsolvedMoments #TrailStories
