#28: Kids Say the Darnedest Things
Kids really like to believe that they’re very clever, don’t they? I certainly did when I was younger, and I see it in the kids around me as well. It seems especially to become prominent among teenagers, as we all seem to get it into our heads when we’re about 15 that we know better than all of the adults around us, despite them having years of wisdom and experience and our brains not being fully developed yet.
If you fell into that category, or you still fall into that category, here’s a reminder that your teachers were probably not as stupid as you liked to think they were. If you thought that you were wisecracking to everyone around you but somehow escaping the teacher’s notice, there’s a really good chance that your teacher absolutely did notice; they just didn’t want to deal with it.
