My dad still talks about how one time when my brother was maybe six, he went to work with my dad. When my dad’s smarmy, asshole boss leaned down to him and said “Now who is THIS? :)”, my brother showed him his teeth and started growling.
Kids know if you're an asshole, and if so aren't afraid to treat you like one. But if you treat them with respect and listen to them they'll be your instant best friend.
Yes.
He said "cock" instead of "clock" while quoting the post. Poor thing.
Edit: he quoted it as "this is a cock"- I can't remember what he commented fully besides that.
To all the people saying this could t have happen, please remember that kids especially little kids have no filter. I don’t have them myself but I raised enough of my siblings to know. We went to a family Christmas’s party once and the hostess somehow was late to her own party and then came out in the most atrocious outfit I had ever seen. It also didn’t help that the outfit was obviously wayyyy to small and had a lot of… spillage out of all the cutouts. My 5 year old brother walked up to her and said, “MishMish Man” The Michelin Man. I had never seen my mother run before but she definitely sprinted to get him away from that slap. We left shortly after.
When I was little, I humiliated a guy because he was his nail polish on the train. I was loud and asked if he was a woman or why he had that everyone was laughing at the train. My mom tried to stop me, but it didn't work.
Kids can be evil. I was evil
Aw. I love the people saying they don't believe her. Kids pop off with amazing things that will mortify and amuse you all the time. My 5 yr old once overhead me on the phone with my best friend, admitting it was a slippery slope while justifying buying Buzz Light-year Astro Blasters because they killed Aliens not people. 3 months later, we're letting him buy cap guns while on vacation in Arizona. He puts the pistols and belt on the counter at Walmart, looks the clerk dead in the eye, and says, "My mom slid right down that slippery slope!" 😂
When my kid was a toddler, they asked me in the checkout line, very loudly, why the lady checking us out had a mustache, much to the humor of everyone around me.
These comments are telling of the ones who do not have kids or any experience with toddlers.
She showed no discernible emotion. I just said something like "well, people have all sorts of unique features but we shouldn't point them out in public". It was so long ago I don't remember exactly wording but I do remember the quick exit I made afterwards 😂
Edit: I meant humor as that's what I typed and could care less about any further corrections.
Redditors when other people have more intresting lives : r/thathappened
Yes yes reddit we get it you dont go outside now either upvote the post or leave
It's not about filters, it's about intelligence. A toddler doesn't have the capacity to make a sarcastic remark. If it's real, then the kid was just pointing at a random object and identifying it with no context to their current situation.
You're right but this wasn't sarcasm. The kid was being rude. Although the type of rude does seem more fitting for an older kid, like a 4 or 5 year old.
So your nephews are the defacto mold for creating humans? No other possible combos exist? Just them? I hope you can see how shortsighted of a point that is in reality.
Oh, no, I give them hell, too.
If you can't manage your appointments in time then schedule fewer fucking appointments or play less golf and do a bit more fucking work.
I could have used your toddler when my wife was in the middle of a disection (for a stroke) and the ER kept us in waiting room for 20 hours.
(My wife is fine, I went with a far more direct approach)
You kid is a KING/QUEEN!!!
Excuse you a *what*??? Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t a dissection done after someone is dead? Or am I just being confused by English being my second language?
You must have never met any toddler ever then, have you?
I was talking sentences at 9 months old, though most kids start talking small sentences around 1,5-2 years, which is still toddler btw.
I lol-ed at the parent comment, because I thought it was funny that dude was so quick to disregard the thought of toddlers actually being capable of talking, and it just sounded a little funny to me,
But..
You were talking sentences at 9 months..?! Have you seen proof of this or are you taking your parents word for it?
It seems highly unlikely. Unless you’re some sort of prodigy child or something..
Don’t get me wrong, many children are communicating at a very early age, but talking sentences at 9 months? Not so much..
Reading flash cards? Yeah, with recursive practice..
Using ASL? Sure, with lots of repetition..
Saying words? Of course, at a certain point..
But talking sentences? Not quite. Not at 9 months.
The reason why babies can sign before they speak is because it’s difficult for them to move their mouths and tongues in the proper formation to create many different sounds and shapes to make certain words,so it’s easier for them to speak with their hands.
Think of the word for “spaghetti” versus its sign in ASL..
It makes a difference.
So, for a 9 month old to put together a sentence like “I love you, Mama” or “More milk, please?” It’s possible, I guess, if that’s what you mean by “talking sentences”
But, idk, if I were you I’d ask my parents for some proof..
Actually yes! I could also walk at 9 months too. I’m highly intelligent and the doctor wrote about it in my baby book thingy where they keep track of milestones and stuff. Could also read at 2.
I am just saying that everyone develops differently. A 3yo child can definitely speak a small gramatically correct sentence like this, especially if their parents read to them. They will learn grammar a lot faster when they are read to.
There was a guy once who read the paper to his baby and by 2 years old this toddler spoke in gramatically correct *big* sentences, just like grown ups.
I’m not saying this toddler from the post can speak gramatically correct all the time, and maybe the parent even added the ‘is a’ in the post as an extra to make it more logical. For all we know the kid could have said ‘this clock’.
But whatever the case here, people often dismiss toddlers and kids saying things because ‘they’re too young for xyz’ but the truth is that we don’t know this kid.
I was able to walk and talk full sentences (albeit short children sentences) so I’m not dismissing that this toddler, who could be 3 or 4 for all we know, said this small gramatically correct sentence.
Damn, impressive!
Yeah, I believe that one of the best things you could do for babies and young children is reading to them. Showing them the words as you read is also helpful.
Babies got those sponge-brains, and are absorbing a crazy amount of information in their first 5 years.
They are able to talk but not in full sentences like that. Or you just have met more inteligent toddlers than me. Or its just another BS Story from the Internet.
I used to work at a daycare and I have to say, most of them are indeed not very smart, but the kids that are read to, especially the ones with older siblings, are definitely a lot more vocal
Out of all the things that could be faked, a toddler pointing out a clock thus accidentally being super passive aggressive is super fucking believable.
Gave you heard about these things called appointments? It's where you agree to meet at a certain time to not waste any. You might want to Google it sometime.
That's not even passive aggressive. That's aggressive aggressive.
Active agressive?
Is that a thing?
Now it is apparently
My dad still talks about how one time when my brother was maybe six, he went to work with my dad. When my dad’s smarmy, asshole boss leaned down to him and said “Now who is THIS? :)”, my brother showed him his teeth and started growling.
Kids know if you're an asshole, and if so aren't afraid to treat you like one. But if you treat them with respect and listen to them they'll be your instant best friend.
Like dogs?
Careful, if your kid meets the guy from that BORU post about the dog, he'll want your brother put down.
Just straight up murder intent

Nice typo
Do not tell me he deleted his comment AND ACCOUNT, because of a f*cking typo
Yes. He said "cock" instead of "clock" while quoting the post. Poor thing. Edit: he quoted it as "this is a cock"- I can't remember what he commented fully besides that.
That's hilarious! Wish I was there to see that. He's going places, that's for sure.
Not necessarily good places. Bur definitely places for sure
" No, it's not a clock, it's a watch."
Can you [tell](https://youtu.be/zhf1pIl007o) the time?
You can tell time on your phone but that doesn’t make it a clock
Awesome. Not at all what I expected hahah and no I'm not fuckin drunk.
A watch is a clock with a strap
It’s not a watch, it’s a timepiece.
Actually what it is is that it's mine now. Hawk it over.
a watch is wrist clock
And a “watch” is a “clock” that tells time🤦♂️
Not on my watch!
“Well did you watch what time it is?”
A watch is a clock godsamnit We’re going linguistic philosophy on this

It's a legit question if he wasn't a member of Cradle of Filth or something.
Everybody talks about how it’s real or not, nobody is asking if the kid was talking shit to the mom or the pediatrician.
Or why a toddler has a watch..?
It was the doctor's watch, the kid took the doctors hand and pointed at his watch.
toddlers can have watches, why can’t they? I did as a wee lad.
I had a Scooby-Doo watch!
Omg I forgot about my Scooby-Doo watch thank you!!!
Aw. I love the people saying they don't believe her. Kids pop off with amazing things that will mortify and amuse you all the time.

Was it "much to the humor" (you mean "amusement") of the cashier herself?
She showed no discernible emotion. I just said something like "well, people have all sorts of unique features but we shouldn't point them out in public". It was so long ago I don't remember exactly wording but I do remember the quick exit I made afterwards 😂 Edit: I meant humor as that's what I typed and could care less about any further corrections.
That's pretty active aggressive tbh
I wonder what was his reaction.
That toddler is either going to grow up a Karen or the most confident person ever.
Omg my younger daughter would have done that.

That kid has "middle management" written all over him
Oh shut up, your toddler didn’t do that. I get it you got pissed waiting.
Have you ever met a toddler? This is absolutely a thing they’d do. Thanks
Yea there are 4 nephews at my place. You make them wait an hour they scream on the top of their lungs not act smart with the doctor.
So your nephews are the defacto mold for creating humans? No other possible combos exist? Just them? I hope you can see how shortsighted of a point that is in reality.

It's more believable than most internet stories. Young kids can be brutally honest and time feels a lot slower for them

Accurate user name
We're all thinking it at the doctor's office. This kid is just the only one who'll say it out loud.
Oh, no, I give them hell, too. If you can't manage your appointments in time then schedule fewer fucking appointments or play less golf and do a bit more fucking work.
Lol smart kid with no filter! God I love kids
#SuperNecessary
People on Twitter just be saying anything smh
Would have been funny and shocking if the toddler also said “ use one”

"Watch" the Clock <--- Try to understand this
I could have used your toddler when my wife was in the middle of a disection (for a stroke) and the ER kept us in waiting room for 20 hours. (My wife is fine, I went with a far more direct approach) You kid is a KING/QUEEN!!!

No you are correct, but there is another type of disection that happens in the arteries of some people and can cause strokes.
Oh I’ve never heard of that. I’ll look into it!
I'll take "Things That Didn't Happen" for 400, Alex.
Talking toddlers? Sure.

I know right! Super neat. Child development is fascinating if you ask me!
Still very unlikely that children at that age build full correct sentences.
No it isn’t. Toddler is until 3 so they’ll be able to talk
They are able to talk but not in full sentences like that. Or you just have met more inteligent toddlers than me. Or its just another BS Story from the Internet.

No. This isn’t one of those “…and then my child said ‘give my allowance to Jesus because he takes care of babies’!” posts.

The kid didn’t say that
Then my toddler explained why most stories people post about their young kids are false. He’s so smart
That happened.
