This is an infantile perspective on the relevant issues. Be better.

It sounds like you grew up and are beyond the childness. Don't take that experience away from others.

Reading this makes me think of a five-year-old confidently explaining how something works to their parent.

I didn't understand children when I was one, so I doubt I'd understand them now.

My pre-adolescent child says all sorts of things, occasionally some of them turn out to be true!

It’s like trying to reason with your 5-year-old child, except they’re not real.

As opposed to you who has the insight of a child ?

Trust me, sometimes kids do that and cannot be stopped.
