Kids Vs. Proverbs
Victory goes to the kids. I think with more people in the world, the competition will cause the rate of evolution to speed up to make stronger, smarter kids. Which is good! The world is fucked and someone has to fix it. It’s a good thing these 1st graders are smarter than whomever birthed these proverbs. I think they work better now and we should probably replace the old ones. Take that deep thinkers of the past!
