Kids are stupid
 
My daughter, age 3, was watching my wife take something out of the oven. She warned Mommy not to burn her hands, and was told she was OK because her hands are tough. Daughter says out loud "How do you spell 'tough'?" and wanders out of the kitchen, and returns in a minute with a sheet of paper with "TUF" written on it.

Stupid kid, she only got 2 of the five letters right!

Nah, she did OK. See?

Oh. I guess I'll be proud of her, then. I didn't read until I was 4.

You think that's stupid? Well my imaginary 6-month-old son thought that the triple point of water is 273.15K! That's the melting point, you idiot! The triple point is 273.16K! How the hell can someone confuse the melting point with the triple point?

My kid totally knew that when he was like 3 months old. :rolleyes: You're (imaginary) kid really is dumb!

My daughter is an ace at Left 4 Dead. She's all about killing the bad guys. She's 4. Well on her way to being either a Central American dictator or serial killer.

The 3 year old doesn't care for video games except for the ones at starfall.com, which are teaching her to read. My older kids do like them, though. My 5 year old's favorites are Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Mercenaries, Lego Star Wars, and Soul Caliber 3. The 8 year old likes Spore, NBA Live, Tropico 3, and lately has been playing a LOT of Titan Quest - her character is about half again my character's level.

My kid that's not even a twinkle in her Mom's eye knows when to use your instead of you're.

Damn you! I'd call you a grammar nazi but that was pretty bad on my part. I deserve it. :sciencefail:
