I guess they prefer the orange turd that would be bested by a 10 years old in all fields but bullshitting.
Ive known some precocious young ones who could give him a run for his money
4 years ago, I was at a beach party, and stepped down to the water to be downwind of the group for a smoke. My best friends 6 year old walks up to me and asks "can I have a smoke?"
I tell him no way, hes way too young for such a bad habit. "But my parents let me smoke, all the time"
"Yeah right, they dont even smoke anymore (quit before his older sister was born)
"When we went to Russia. They let me smoke there. Everybody smokes there. Id have one after the sauna, and one after dinner each night."
It was true. They had just got back from russia, a couple months ago. (They were actually there visiting the wife's parents when the war broke out. Whole family managed to escape though, to a relatives home in Bulgaria, and her mom was in the process of emigrating to the US, although I think thats on hold because shes not sure Trumps America is better than Putins russia)
I knew the grandparents smoked, and dont know enough about Russian culture, so it might be plausible. I know the kids had been offered a shot of vodka, and had spit it out.
I ended up reiterating he was way too young for such a gross habit, and we went back up to the party. When I told his parents, they had a laugh about it. He would sit around after dinner / sauna with the men, and have a candy cigarette while they all smoked. She also added hed gotten way better at lying over that month.
