    Why does everyone on the internet think kids are mute grubs until they turn ten?

    3 year olds say wild shit all the time.

    They are at the peak of “i just learned this” and “i don’t fully understand social implications”.

      There’s a playground next to where i live. I sometimes hear kids (like 5yo) say some of the funniest things, so different that i forget them.

      They’re not mute, but they also aren’t saying stuff like that. It would mean she remembered and understood the death scene of a ~1.5hr movie at the age of 2, and understands social norms enough to concoct a dastardly plot to monopolize that edible playdoh in the OP.

      Even at 3, that’s a stretch. At 4? Sure. At barely 3? No way.

        Full sentences usually start at about 24 months old, my guy.

        36 months is when the stories start.

        If you weren’t making shit up at 3 you should be evaluated for a developmental delay.
