Yeah, Netflix and video games and live shows are fun, but if you truly want to experience the best, highest form of entertainment, there's nothing better than kids. Don't believe me? The following examples are excerpts from actual conversations with my 8-year-old son:

1: When they're so honest that they don't even care if they roast themselves:

💁🏻‍♂️"Buddy, you are ridiculous."

👦🏼 "What?"

💁🏻‍♂️"You were all like ‘I don't want to go to the beach! I hate the sand!' And here you are asking to be buried in it!"

👦🏼"Well, yeah... my feelings change every two seconds!"

2: When they drop little nuggets of wisdom on love and relationships:

👦🏼"I had a crush on a girl... but she changed into a whole different person when she moved up a grade... I've only ever had two crushes."

💁🏻‍♂️ "That's good. Sounds like you don't just go crazy for any girl. You care about who they are as a person."

👦🏼 "Yeah... and you shouldn't date an ugly girl just because she's rich."

💁🏻‍♂️"That's true... Mom wasn't either of those things..."

3: When they show that they can plan ahead:

👦🏼 "When we grow up, I'm going to live in Mason's mansion!"

💁🏼‍♀️ "What are you going to do to earn money to pay him rent?"

👦🏼 "I'm going to be an assassin!"

🚶🏼‍♂️"What's your dark back story going to be?"

👦🏼 "That I watched too much TV."

4: When they learn the proper leftwing jargon:

👦🏼 "Why do they have to make plastic foil so hard to cut?"

💁🏻‍♂️ "I dunno. I blame Trump."

👦🏼 "I blame corporate America!"

👦🏼 "... what IS corporate America?"

5: And then there's this:

"Hey dad, is this a ‘smolder'?"
