It’s a lesson he’ll remember for a lifetime.

Animated movies have given us unrealistic expectations about deer. While you’d like to think of them as calm, gentle beasts, in reality, they’re animals just like any other, and if you get too close (or just drive, apparently), they’ll be more than happy to mess your shit up.

In this video, you can watch a child discover this in real time. While the first few moments truly do feel magical, things take a turn when the deer decides to give the child a bonk.
