Whether or not you believe the old days were good or terrible, there’s really no arguing that kids today are growing up in an entirely different world – one that didn’t even exist 30 years ago.
And if you’re wondering whether it’s making them grow up too fast, well… these 12 tweets certainly seem to point to yes!
12. Don’t try to pull the wool over that one’s eyes.
Me: Guess what time it is?
6-year-old: I don't have to guess. I can read the clock.
Me: It's time to clean your room.
6: No, it's 2:45.

11. This attitude will take her far in life.
My 3yo said she wanted to be an astronaut, and I said she had to study hard, go to college, learn a lot of science, and take a physical fitness test, and she shrugged and said, "That's just 4 things." So she's basically a nonchalant motivational speaker.

10. Dream life, honestly.
Fake phone call I overheard my 6-yr-old niece having: "No, I'm not a kid. I work at a museum and I would like a latte."

9. This is kind of depressing.

8. He’s probably not going to be a motivational speaker – but he might write greeting cards.

7. As good an answer as any.
My cousin: [to my kids] omg you guys have grown so much! How old are you now?
6: What's your wifi password?

6. My 2yo takes “notes.”

5. A healthy sense of reality.
My 5yo on her 1st day of K: "They asked me to count as high as I could. I could've done 200, but I didn't want to waste anyone's time."

4. I mean there’s nothing wrong with self-sufficiency.

3. Pretty sick burn for a kid who doesn’t bring home a paycheck.
I was doing an activity with my 5-year-old and then told him I had to go back to work and he said “Okay, go touch your letters daddy.” which is such an amazing burn. “Must be exhausting touching that keyboard all day. Did you hit all the letters yet? You’ve had all day.”

2. To be fair the whole birth process is some BS on both ends.

1. I bet Alexa told him that.
