Seven-year-old yells 'Freedom' like Braveheart after escaping sunscreen

A parent shared that their seven-year-old resisted having sunscreen applied, wriggling the whole time, then sprinted off shouting 'Freedom' in the style of Mel Gibson's William Wallace in Braveheart. The parent joked that this was an unexpected way for the child's Scottish Wallace heritage to show itself. The anecdote is drawing amused reactions from other parents who recognise the daily battle of getting sunblock on unwilling kids.
Why now: It is a relatable, funny parenting moment that resonates with anyone who has wrestled a child into sunscreen.

- My seven-year-old did not want to be sunblocked, and wriggled the entire time. Afterward, he ran off yelling FREEDOM like Braveheart, and that is not how I expected his Wallace heritage to manifest. # Parenting # KidsSay · wallacewords@mastodon.sdf.org · 5
