Kids are not remotely as stupid as people like to think. Everyone acts like they are but they're not. Misguided? Sure. Lacking knowledge? Absolutely. Shit at making decisions? Positively. But talk to one like an adult sometime and you'd be surprised at the conversation you might get back.
To repurpose something from Picasso, I spent my entire childhood having to act like an adult. Now I'm spending most of my adulthood trying to go back.
I've a 4 year old, and the conversations we can have are amazing. Her ability to reason and think things through is comparable to a lot of adults, if not better. She just gets tripped up by missing entire fields of understanding, that adults just take for granted. She's also still awed by the simple things, something I'm relearning myself.
Yeah our kid has had some seriously insightful things to say ever since she was like 3. It is kind of freaky how their little brains put things together. Now she's a teen and still amazes me regularly.
