Children can be a wonder, a bottomless fount of new discover
and surprise. They can also make you feel like you’re wasting your life. Kids
these days are faster and smarter than their predecessors. Some same the
greatest gift a parent can do for their child is to encourage them to improve
on the generation before them. Why? Just so I can have a constant reminder of
all my broken dreams while I stand in the shadow of my kid’s greatness? I, for
one, am making sure that my children do not grow up to become more successful
than I am, that way I’ll never have to utter the phrase “You think you’re
better than me??!!” Just think how much less ackward Thanksgiving will be with
my children knowing their rightful place, just slightly less magnificent than
their father.
Cracked appears to agree and so they’ve offered this
compliation of children so much smarter and talented than you it’ll drive you
to drink.
Akrit Jaswal, Child
Surgeon
Little Akrit performed his first surgery at the age of 7.
Know what I was doing at seven? Eating glue. Today, at the rip age of 15, Akrit
is India’s
real-life answer to Doogie Howser. Still though, I’m not sure how comfortable
I’d be with this mini doctor operating on my heart, what with all the
twittering he’d be doing: “OMG, I M TTLY LOOKNG @ A BTNG HRT! SCORE!” If you
didn’t feel bad enough, Akrit is claming he’ll cure cancer. Take a look at this
letter addressed from an adult telling him not to.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart learned to play the piano at age four and wrote his
first symphony at age eight. Isn’t that precious? I just had to spell check the
word “symphony” and I’m 31! Yes,
Mozart was truly the Haley Joel Osment of his time. Except people still
remember Mozart.
