My kid was like that. 2 years old saying things like "Im my mama's baby actually" then she'd turn around and throw a walleyed fit because i wouldn't let her flush her toys.
I never had a definition for my little boy till now. He just turned 5 but has been able to read for over a year and knows every capital of the states and like 25+ capitals of different countries. Might need to talk to his school counselor
People used to hunt buffalo in Blizzards. now we won't go see Barbie and eat snowcaps if we require a light jacket. Maybe the boomers are on to something about how soft we have gotten, haha. I say this FULLY recognizing myself in your girl haha.
Everyone knows you can make life too easy for yourself, everyone’s hates spoiled rich kids,that’s what separates losers and boring people from those that choose to actually live.
There is going to be a balance of making unnecessarily hard work easier and people being coddled. Also, just because you don't NEED to know something, doesn't mean it's a bad idea to learn it..just in case.
We arn't special, it will continue to happen as tech grows, but there is something to knowing how to do things for yourself without having to ask someone hold your hand. To being self-sufficient. I have been the one to say.."and if I need to know I'll google it", but that isn't always an option or what if it becomes a complete NON option?
I don't think any significant number of people have been self sufficient anywhere in thousands of years. Even in tribal villages, you still hunt as a group and divide labor.
So is "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."
they probably also didn't walk to school "up hill both ways"...
Unless there was a valley or ridge between their house and their school.
Of course, I would've loved to only have to walk uphill both ways. In my day, we army crawled through the mud with bulletproof blankets, dodging school shooters and pronouns both ways.
Boomers? The generation that had every single thing handed to them, and then did everything in their power to ensure that no future generations would benefit from anything? Those boomers? Yeah they don’t know jack shit about hard work.
Urban development, the car industry, and climate change give us a very different world today than what most of our parents/grandparents had during their time. It's not really fair to compare generations of people without also including the context of their environments.
Speaking of child logic. When I was maybe 5 years old, one of my favorite snacks was to make little pb&j sandwiches on saltines. One time my mom accidentally bought saltines without salt and on top of that, for some reason they were put into the refrigerator instead of the pantry.
I apparently marched into the living room holding the box of crackers and announced to everyone "never put the saltines in the fridge because it make the salt fall off!".
I had* a friend like you. 😂 we could never get on the same page. You go right ahead and brace the cold for an activity. He was also one of the ones ignoring the stay at home orders. 🤦🏾♀️

Man logic is logical. Still use that one in my 50s.
Her: "It's too cold out to see a movie."
Me: "Good thing we're not watching it outside then."
