40 Posts About “Genius” Kids That Are So Clearly Lies, It’s Embarrassing (New Pics)
Parents are likely the most biased people when it comes to their children. Reasonably so—every achievement, no matter how big or small, seems special when it’s your kid. That might be one of the reasons moms and dads want to let the whole world know about it.
However, some of them take it one step too far, and make such accomplishments sound a little too impressive. Reddit’s 'Woke Kids' community boasts an entire collection of examples like this. We gathered them into another list covering children’s extraordinary behavior that just seems too good to be true. If you haven’t yet seen the first edition, make sure to check it out here.

Everyone Clapped And Asked For Consent
I can actually see this happening - kids have just had a (very important) lesson on the importance of consent, class joker decides to be funny, and you have a tweet ready to be sent.

First Graders Are Known For Thought-Provoking Sociological Commentary
There is one for men. It goes "Dude, Mr., Sir". XD (joke)
Load More Replies...I'll bite. Aside from the "wild " part, my mom and I had the same conversation, at the same age.
Yeah, I actually remembered thinking the same when I started school at about 4 - I had some teachers who were Miss, some were Mrs, some were Mr and my mum got bills addressed as Ms. So I dunno.
Load More Replies...Women didn't generally approach or initiate relationships with men in days gone by, so Miss/Mrs help keep men from bothering married women. You go back far enough and apparently only women could commit adultery. So a man's marital status was not deemed important (or incriminating) enough to warrant a title.
Master and mistress. A woman could be a mrs without being married in the past. Not until after the 1900s the meaning changed.
Load More Replies...in school we call female teachers 'Ms' regardless of if they're married or not.
I think I read somewhere that there actually were such words for man. They just fell out of use for some reason.
When my father was a child he got laughed at for calling a woman selling potatoes on the market mrs. She wasn't a lady back than...
Yeah, deciding to take my husband's last name was a f*cking nightmare. New driver's license, new library card, name change on bank account (and even though I had my new license in my new name, I had to provide my marriage certificate. I told this stupid little girl teller, "Fine. Close that account & I'll open a new one. She tries to tell me she'd still need a copy of my ML - I'm like oh, really? And unless we had just had this conversation why would you ask? How do you know that's not my maiden name?) The bank manager got involved. I closed the account in my maiden name and left. I went to another branch a few miles away and opened a new account in my married name. Talk about sexist bullsh*t.
It used to be 'Mister' for men, and 'Master' for boys. When they are shortened, both become 'Mr'. So we don't know if it's a boy or a man.
this is not sociological commentary, it's a kid learning how words work in english
this is 100% correct and something a 6 year old girl could easily identify
This must have been years ago, today there are a myriad other forms of address. Any time they leave out the correct form for addressing a gender fluid, fem presenting donald duck; you just know they need inclusivity training.
Because when they were created, no one cared if a man got married. He was free to do as he pleased. But a young unmarried female was just unacceptable!!!!!
Did the 6yo or the husband say this? Hard to tell from the way it’s written. Sounds like it was the husband who said it. Get that second grade grammar policeperson in here!
Wow you all really have no hope for children.. lol You can't believe a 6 year old would wonder this? It is totally possible. Do you know what they're teaching kids in school these days?
Ok but it was never stated that the child said this, just that the person found it wild
OK, this seems fake. More realistic: "Why do they have words like these that say if a woman is married, but none for a man?"
Until relatively recently a boy was Master John, rather than Mister. Nowadays informaility becomes 'John', so there were 2 designations for males, but one ended after childhood, rather than marriage.
My kids think it's weird. They 12 and 10 so old enough to see inconsistencies by themselves.

What?! I saw the Lightyear movie and I don't think they portrayed Buzz as gay...? His friend Hawthorne was gay, and it was amazingly tastefully and properly portrayed. And even if they DID "turn" Buzz gay, why is that "wrong"? Why does that "ruin everything"? ughhhh it's 2023, why are we STILL on about homoesexuals "ruining everything"?

Most of these I do not believe and the rest I am amazed the parent is proud of the child.
Load More Replies...The amount of people and patents in this listicle making false stories about their children for five minutes of Internet clout is just pitiful. What two your old is screaming out to bring down the patriarchy and fight climate change. I think I was just screaming for nap time and silly toys at that age.
As a teacher I can see most of these actually being said by children. They are like sponges and absorb everything around them, and understand a lot more than we think. If a child grows up with family who are flat earthers, they will constantly be told that everyone else is wrong and silly and that the earth is flat. Equally if they are brought up in a household that teaches consent and respect, they will know all about that (plus it's taught in all the schools nowadays too) and it's very much seen as an important element in teens nowadays! This post more shows more that some adults (nice seeing lots of comments from people also saying the same as me) dismiss kids too quickly and don't think they have their own thoughts and take in more than we often give them credit for! Kids really do understand more than we often think they do, like when parents refuse to tell their children they're poorly or getting a divorce, the children will know/ know something is up and handle it more maturely
These made me laugh. I'm a retired elementary teacher; thirty years with fourth and fifth graders. Anyone with ANY experience with kids knows most, probably all, of these are made-up bs.
Years ago, I was working as a teachers aid in a multi-age classroom. The kids had reading sheets to take home every night. Whatever they read the parents wrote down.We had one little boy who was in Prep very early and only 4.His Dad bought back his reading sheet ,where he had signed off on this little guy having read the first Harry Potter book in 3 days and telling me how he'd be starting the second book that nigh....He seemed to forget that I read and wrote with this kid every single day and was fully aware that he basically couldn't read anything besides a couple of words and could not even write his own name!! I just smiled and nodded at Dad, then continued to get his kid to spell out the word "DOG".
For all I know kids between 3 and 8 might well be saying all this stuff, I’ve been hearing loads of them talking daily at work for years and I still can’t make out what they’re saying 98% of the time.
As someone who just spent one week with a 6-year-old, I can believe the ideas the kids are saying but not *exactly* the way they would say it. My nephew jumped from words to words and never a complete sentence. "So I went shoo-shoo-shoo, and then he like, and I like, and then it goes 'pooosh', and then--" that's how the conversation usually went.
most of these are actually believable, guys. I mean, when i was six i solved Einstein's theory of relativity, so... \s
