Ah, okay, thank you for explaining. I kind of figured that it was perhaps because they were super young and things are so tumultuous. Mostly I just wanted to be sure I read it right, that you meant both boys and girls and not just the girls.

>None are literate in their home language.

Not even the boys?? Or was the statement regarding just the girls?

I never called, nor implied, you, or anyone else stupid, and the person who originally replied to you also didn't call you stupid or imply it.

I don't even know how you could infer that was even happening!

Christ, dude, you're unnecessarily rude to people. I was just trying to be nice. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, but the comment you had replied to was talking about a smart fridge, so when you said the thing about being able to turn "it" off, it sounded like you meant the fridge.

I see you replied to your comment saying you meant stove specifically.

If you're on reddit is fun, click your comment, and it makes the up/downvote buttons and 3 dots pop up, hit those three dots, and again, a box opens with choices, and one is, of course, edit.

When I was 7, I had these weird pencils my mom got me bc they were cheaper than normal pencils. They weren't completely wood, sort of plasticky and when you sharpened them, instead of wood shavings and flakes, it would form a spiral that looked like flowers, sort of rose like.

I sold those flower shavings to my fellow classmates. Then I'd buy ice cream at lunch. That was a good week.

Y'all aren't going to bait me into joining this comment chain.
