I will accept the assertion that her 3 year old son is smarter than her at face value.

I met a toddler who probably only knows about 5 words today at work. He would continually say "Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi..." the entire time he saw me. granted I only saw him for about 5 minutes but little dude was about to explode with all his 'hi'-s
His dad looked so tired 😭

Fun fact: written words only appear to last forever because people forgot the words that don't last forever.
Had that showerthought thought after a gummy and bout exploded my mind.

what is the wolves part even about? is it meant to be a surprise that wolves can die?

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 17 points 14 hours ago

It's supposed to make it credible that a 3 year old said this.

"wolf" in this case i guess is management speak for "ambition", meaning "you can make yourself invincible if you just work hard enough". it's a scam to get people to work harder. "you just gotta have that wolf inside you".

Wait until she (or her son) learns about dead languages

Wikipedia page doesn't have that anymore. But the talk page shows that it did use to be on the page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Hazelton

Maybe it's possible to find that edit before it was removed somewhere in the edit history

[-] SeekPie@lemm.ee 6 points 11 hours ago

Just checked, the page is being edited quite frequently. Many on the edits are about her lying.

A three year old would not have the ability to form that concept, let alone verbalize it.

Age two to five years old

Young children are interested in the idea of death, for example in birds, insects and animals. They can begin to use the word 'dead' and develop an awareness that this is different to being alive. However, children of this age do not understand abstract concepts like 'forever' and cannot grasp that death is permanent.

The quote doesn't say anything about forever tho. The kid is just figuring out that death happens to people and wolves, but not to words and books. The parent is the one pretending that the kid's making some profound statement about the permanence of ideas.

This quote is from Albert Einstein. Look it up on Facebook
