Reason #2351 my kid is too cool - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

All the other 3-year olds were making their construction paper craft projects look like the example the teacher had in front of them. 19 nearly identical green beanstalks on 19 desks. Beans glued in the same places. Leaves were placed just so.

But not my kid. His beanstalk looked but nothing like the example. It still looked like a beanstalk, but not The Man’s beanstalk. You go, kid. Fight the Power!

Stand up against the over-bearing pre-school teachers.

Fight for the right to eat glue.

I love kids who express their creativity. One of my second cousins is about 6 years old and has been reading since the age of 2. When he was at kindergarten they though he might be backwards because he never paid attention during storytime. Turned out it was because he'd read those books already. Kids rule.

I dont have any kids yet but it is probably only 1-2 years away. I hang out with my 5 nieces and nephews alot. They range between 2 and 7. (2 different sisters). The things they say are incredible. My 4 year old neice can count to twenty in Spanish. I cant hardly do that. My 2 year old nephew is starting to learn spanish as well. He counts to 3 really fast. Uno..Dos..Tres... It is amazing how smart they are.

My favorite conversation as of late....

Neice: look a spider! I like spiders...
Me: The only good spider is a flat spider.
Her: No TJ! A flat spider is a DEAD spider!
Me: I know that. I dont like spiders.
Her: Why? They eat bugs.

I was like, damn kid, you are only 4. Leave me alone

Another young leader not afraid to stick his head up above the rest. My daughter is the same...but kind of in a warped way.

When she was in kindergarten, the class was asked to perform a similar task - make an animal out of construction paper. A kitten and a duck were given as examples and pretty much the whole class made kittens and ducks. I think two kids made dogs, because they each had one at home.

And my dainty little daughter? She made a big green Godzilla. God I love her.
