ITT: times you met patricians in the wild
My lesbian sister and her wife also have a kid, and they are both the most well read people I know, so I honestly don’t find that situation that unbelievable.
>tfw the "son" is actually 24 but looks 10 because they told him he was transgender and gave him so many still-in-testing hormone blockers as a child that he permanently looks 10
Fake and gay
Are they hot?
Clearly another case of lesbian eugenics
HA HA YEAH!
I question how much children understand of the stories they read. He'd do well to re-read it again when he's in his 20's and then again in his 30's, if the story is true. The books I read so young I forgot, and barely apprehended. If I were to re-read them now I'd probably be more than shocked.
That said, if true, more good to him.
if you didn't finish proust before age 8 you'll never be in the canon
I've known some well-read teachers and got into some deep arguments with a stem kid. Never met a real 'patrician' in the Veeky Forums sense.
>tfw you’ll never be a patrician lesbian
Proust was neurotic.
Probably fake but it made me kek
>homosexuals
>capable of being patrician
Yeaaaaah...
I read all the Redwall books obsessively when I was younger and looking back that shit was incredibly brutal. I also don't know how I didn't turn into a furry from that.
was the kid's name nael?
I think part of it might be the linguistic arrogance of a child. I remember thinking I knew what every single word meant when I was a child, which was ridiculous. Now I'm a terrible skeptic, I'm amazed I understand language at all. There is so much ambiguity in language and so much depth to certain writers. That said, maybe that arrogance was why we were able to plow through books at that age, understanding it or not.
imagine making such a stupid post in Veeky Forums
I remember that as a child burger, all of his feast descriptions sounded unbelievably amazing, but I only understood about a tenth of what the fuck it actually was. The words themselves just had a feeling they evoked of delicious food and I would have to imagine what they might be in my head. Things like pasties and turnovers and dandelion cordial. I can't even think of another author I've read since capable of doing that, although maybe it was as you said the imagination of being a child.
Are you me?
t. Homo
yes, YES! It was him.
How have you heard of him? Have you met him?
