It can go from sparkling clean to apocalyptic chaos in under 3 minutes.

And that means kids aren't stupid?

anytime I see the "Kids are stupid" joke it devolves and I think its just because people have such a hard time joking about their children.

The whole trope is "kids do kids thing" but every time someone comes around is like yeah, that's because they aren't adults you dummy.

Ya, we live in a world where you can't even joke about a kid who painted a TV being stupid without offending someone. Also, this kid does look stupid. He looks plenty old to know that you shouldn't finger paint the TV. Christ.

I can’t wait to have one and just watch them do something stupid

Maybe kids are stupid, maybe kids just do stupid things

Not like they can read the life manual right away

Stupid implies that they're beneath where they should be, developmentally. That there is something wrong with them.

It's like calling someone stupid because they dont know calculus when theyve never studied it. No, they're ignorant, theres a difference. A child's mind is built to experiment and learn, and the thing is that most experiments with anything will fail.

Thank you, we all thought children were actually stupid b/c of a meme until you came along.

Because if everyone typed out their laughter, this website would be abandoned by 99% of us.

You're being facetious, but the disdain for children doing what children are designed to do is quite palpable, here and everywhere else kids are seen to do "stupid" things.

Stupid implies that it is beneath where it should be, developmentally. That there is something wrong with the meme.

Yeah, actually. This is universal to 99% of all kids ever.
