Strange reading mnemonic for 困る

You know who seems to be distressed all the time? Little 子s. 子s are always crying about something. Always. And when adults are distressed they can look like 子s too.

So the reading for 子 is こ. But the reading for 困る is こまる. Not sure how the above mnemonic reflects that?

Maybe they’re crying for their ma?

Definitely looks like a mistake to me. If you email them they’ll probably fix it.

That’s funny I remember it being about a coma, maybe I made one up because that one didn’t make any sense ?

I remember that too, but it could be that the coma mnemonic is much clearer than the 子 mnemonic.
