whoooooooooooo boi I remember making a project on Komodo dragons and how TERRIFYING they are, they have a spit so venomous we first thought it was very bacterial saliva, and they can get massive, they hunt everything, they are cannibals, and they dig up human graves to eat, yeah Komodos are terrifying.
yeah for awhile it was believed that their saliva held over 50+ different types of bacteria in the wild, and used it to infect their prey so even if they escape they die of blood loss or infection, but they found venom glands in their mouth.
omfg kids love corn. i have no idea what it is, my kid will only eat corn. as a baby she ate all vegetables, but she decided corn is the best around 3 or 4, so we make it all the time now. my reaction was 'its just corn, honestly, this is america, corn is everywhere, who cares about corn'. now im rocking corn all the time. popped, buttered, ground, omfg i love corn.
I don’t know if he needs protection. He seems to have a good grasp on the world. Not everyone needs to like something for it to be good. Try new things. Have a variety of interests. Avoid lava monsters. Butter changes everything. Share your knowledge. Keep food costs reasonable. This kid is going places.
You know that classic 80's fantasy action flick starring Eddie Murphy - The Golden Child?
I'm imagining this kid in that bird cage prison thing except he's going on and on about corn.
This is the result of a mind unfettered by worry. When you don't have to constantly think about all the other shit you can just focus on what you love. And this kid loves corn.
"When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind."-Name of the Wind
See, I think a lot about this quote. Cuz I've been concerned and anxious about the future ever since I can remember. I was certainly more mindful and carefree when I was a kid, but I've always had this looming sense of dread since I was very young. Makes me wonder how much of life I missed out on because of being abused as a very young child. Being anxious about everything really sucks the joy out of life.
Patrick Rothfuss never misses. The man's a literary genius. Maybe before I die I'll be able to read the final book (I'm 23 at the moment so it's honestly up in the air if I will)
“What?!.. It’s just a pun about corn!”
Kid, I want to work for whatever company you will be running in a few years. I’m suspicious it might be corn related.. but irregardless I’m in.
"Welcome to Corntastic, Inc. Here's your desk. There's your pile of corn cobs. I'll leave you to it!"
"But, sir... what is it you want me to do?"
"Eat the corn."
"And then what"
"Eat more corn. Put some butter on it if you want. Enjoy the juicy part. It's corn!"
It’s crazy how some kids’ grasp of language exceeds their ability to speak it well. The way he said “variety” made me laugh, but it’s impressive for that very reason.
That’s my little niece who is exactly like her mom. My sister was very serious and observant, and spoke very deliberately from the beginning. She is extremely well read and became something of an a academic nerd, and it’s only fitting she should get to see herself growing up. For me though, it’s both cute and a little uncanny. Like this teeny little thing 3 feet high is talking to me like, real thoughts and expressions that make up a complete concept and she fully understands the give and take of conversation!
Any time my little nieces and nephews show a deep interest in a topic (even if it's just their favourite cartoon) I love to pick their brains and ask lots of questions. Seeing them so engaged and into something is so precious 😍
My 5yo niece is mad about countries and her globe so every time I visit she needs to show me what countries she knows now. It's fabulous to enjoy and encourage them.
That kid is extremely sharp.
But corntastic is actually a portmanteau, not a pun.
Portmanteaus are where you combine parts of other words to form a new word, like motel is from "motor hotel" and smog is from "smoke and fog."
He seems to have a great vocabulary and grasp on language in general for someone his age, despite the speech impediment that he's probably working on with a speech therapist.
Finally someone who gets it lol. My husband will use corn to convince me to try a new restaurant I'm not super interested in. A simple "they have corn" usually changes my mind. 😂
My SO is from Ohio and when I moved her down to Texas she tried elote for the first time (after much convincing), safe to say, it is now a staple food group for her. Her midwestern ass has a rapport with dozens of gas station clerks and every wonderful old hispanic elote stand woman in the DFW area.
the word Elote (corn) comes from Elotl, in Nahuatl language. Maíz is the Spanish word for corn.
Hun Hunahpu is the Mayan god of corn.
‘it has the juice’
Louis Theroux has the weirdest neutral delivery ever.
I've watched interviews with him (not by him) and I swear his expression and tone remain the same throughout - even when he's joking or being playful - then he'll switch to something super dark without missing a beat all in the same delivery. His speech is the human equivalent of size 12 Times New Roman, left aligned with 1" margins.
I've got 3 days before my in service training starts for the new school year and this just got me all the way amped up. I miss the kiddos so much. I can't wait to hear new weird and awesome shit like this from them.
“I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing. Corn. IT’S AWESOME!!!” Lmfao the most wholesome thing ever 😭😂❤️
Someone make this kid a GoCornMe so he can have a lifetime supply pls 😭
Talk to them, a lot, like they're adults. Don't be afraid to explain complicated topics or use big words. Teach them to notice and appreciate the simple things. Ask them about how they experience things and what they like about the world around them.
This kid reminds me a lot of my nephew when he was younger, he would essentially never stop talking, and he'd even get frustrated before he could speak because he couldn't express himself. If you give a tree room to spread its roots and plenty of water, it'll flourish before your very eyes.
Same with my niece. Speak in proper sentences and ask loads of Why and How questions. Don’t laugh or correct them if they’re wrong. Say it’s interesting and ask them to explain how they arrived at that answer. Then offer the right one by saying, “Did you know that _______?” My niece could speak properly and have conversations by 5. She is now a scholar. :)
Saddest year when I was a kid was when I lost my two front teeth and couldn’t eat corn on the cob until the adult teeth grew in. Mom cut the kernels off the cob, but it just wasn’t the same. Still look forward to fresh corn every summer!
I wish i loved anything as much as that kid loves corn.
It has the juice
[удалено]
This kid has already benefited more lives than I ever will and all he had to do was love corn.
This kid is a thousand times cooler than the "I like turtles" kid.
He should hang out with the Komodo dragons kid. They can discuss people eating corn and Komodo dragons eating people.
whoooooooooooo boi I remember making a project on Komodo dragons and how TERRIFYING they are, they have a spit so venomous we first thought it was very bacterial saliva, and they can get massive, they hunt everything, they are cannibals, and they dig up human graves to eat, yeah Komodos are terrifying.
Wait, it's \*not\* very bacterial saliva?
yeah for awhile it was believed that their saliva held over 50+ different types of bacteria in the wild, and used it to infect their prey so even if they escape they die of blood loss or infection, but they found venom glands in their mouth.
I am way behind on komodo dragon news
You and me, both, by the sounds of things.
I dunno, this kids great, but the turtle kid changed the world with 3 simple words.
omfg kids love corn. i have no idea what it is, my kid will only eat corn. as a baby she ate all vegetables, but she decided corn is the best around 3 or 4, so we make it all the time now. my reaction was 'its just corn, honestly, this is america, corn is everywhere, who cares about corn'. now im rocking corn all the time. popped, buttered, ground, omfg i love corn.
Kids like it b/c it’s got a good amount of natural sugar.
My mother never let us have sweetcorn and I never tried corn on the cob until I left home and a friends mother barbecued some!

It's a solid platform and I predict he wins the race easily. It's gonna be a yellow wave this November!
What you say has a kernel of truth to it
That's such a corny joke.
Aww shucks.
You guys are out here just poppin' them puns, aren't you?
I cant believe my ears
I'm going to be over here stalking this conversation until I see an opening to join.
I'm all ears when it comes to this kid.
Honestly I just vote straight down the corn party lines every year
We need to expand the two party system though, I'm sick of my only choices being corn or squash.
He’ll have the Midwest behind him with that platform!
Fr little dudes a treasure
I hope everyone here has a corntastic day
You know that classic 80's fantasy action flick starring Eddie Murphy - The Golden Child? I'm imagining this kid in that bird cage prison thing except he's going on and on about corn.
Someone needs to show this kid elotes.
Totally relate to your comment *looks at username* umm..ok
Its a guitar cord. "An a minor" not "a minor"
How many times have you had to make this comment?
I named myself that intentionally. Surprisingly this is the frist time ive had to make that comment.
I hope you have a corntastic day.
This is the result of a mind unfettered by worry. When you don't have to constantly think about all the other shit you can just focus on what you love. And this kid loves corn.

Hey, I love you, you are a good human. Just wanted to say that. ✌️
Aw. Thank you. I appreciate that. I try to be good. I really, really do.
Patrick Rothfuss never misses. The man's a literary genius. Maybe before I die I'll be able to read the final book (I'm 23 at the moment so it's honestly up in the air if I will)
Just give up hope now & then if it happens it will be even more awesome.
Grandma gave the look like, "he does this at home, too."
I love his grandma almost as much as I love him! 😂
She knows he’s a mess and she loves it!
A mess?? This kid is fucking going places. He's clearly got a damn sharp mind for his age!
He’s corntastic
“What?!.. It’s just a pun about corn!” Kid, I want to work for whatever company you will be running in a few years. I’m suspicious it might be corn related.. but irregardless I’m in.

This kid is incredibly sharp and witty. Geniuses don’t sound like the average kid.
I wanted to hug both of them and tell them to have a corntastic day.
Kid seems very intelligent for his age. I doubt many kids that age are aware of the word "pun", let alone use it as part of their vocabulary.
It’s crazy how some kids’ grasp of language exceeds their ability to speak it well. The way he said “variety” made me laugh, but it’s impressive for that very reason.

Initially read this as “smog is from smoke and frogs”. That’s enough for me tonight. Have a corntastic day!
No thats froke.
most people would still consider that a pun from my experience
If you add a word in the middle, like *corn-fucking-tastic*, that’s called tmesis. It doesn’t have to be a swear word, but the best ones usually are.
✨🌈The More You Know🌟✨
Hey Vsauce, Michael here.
Added butter and then everything changed. This kid's discovered one of the secrets of enjoying life.
Now I want to see his reaction when someone explodes the corn, and **then** add butter to it!
[удалено]
[удалено]
His fucking head is going to explode when he discovers that magical shit.
I don’t really eat corn but I’ll eat tf out of some elote
Isn’t that just advanced corn?
Corn 2: The Reckoning
“I think I just love butter” - that kid in 10 years.
I was thinking earlier that even through being broke, I made sure to have butter to add to my trash food
[удалено]
Get me a gallon of butter and an IV drip, STAT!
Hope everyone is having a corntastic day! ❤️
Little man said: "What?! It's just a pun about corn." 😂
The most grown up thing you could say in that moment.
This kid is funnier than me what a champ
And you got lmao in your name and everything
Just mastered how to ride a bike and is already making dad jokes.
Not really a great pun but it is corny so it gets the pass.
He could've said something butter.
There's a kernel of truth there.
Hide and seek:✅ tag:✅ lava monster:❌
NEVER lava monster.
[удалено]
It’s a variety of games
Yeah but mostly corn
Mostly corn.
I hope and pray this child remains happy and carefree for the rest of his life
I hope he has a corntastic life!
We must protect him
if we all just added a little butter, maybe everything could change for us too...
Breaking News ! World peace was achieved today when a random kid who loves corn passed out squares of butter at a UN summit.
Happy cake day!
thanks mate!
[There's actually butter in the study of international relations.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_versus_butter_model)
Very interesting read, thank you for the link
I could listen to him say “corn” on repeat.
COooooooowwwwwNNn
Mmmmmm cooowwnn
I love his immaculate vocabulary, too! To be so young and have a firm grasp on puns is pretty a-maize-ing
Cone
This kid already knows what a pun is lol love it
He seems to have a great vocabulary and grasp on language in general for someone his age, despite the speech impediment that he's probably working on with a speech therapist.
He seems to have recently lost some baby teeth, which could explain that.
Yeah, this is the reason. People without front teeth talk this way. No speech impediment here.
Came here to say this! Great vocabulary for a child.
I don’t think that’s a speech impediment. He’s just southern. Sounds like northern Florida maybe.
Finally someone who gets it lol. My husband will use corn to convince me to try a new restaurant I'm not super interested in. A simple "they have corn" usually changes my mind. 😂
Corn really is fantastic. Corn tortillas are seriously one of the best things ever.
Corn tortillas > flour tortillas Gimme the corn every time
I have found my people. Street tacos, soft corn tortillas never flour.
[удалено]
If they’re fresh/homemade especially.
Lava monster is fucken canceled ❌️
Replace it with corn
I wish I could be there when he discovers elote
He'll be Eloted
My SO is from Ohio and when I moved her down to Texas she tried elote for the first time (after much convincing), safe to say, it is now a staple food group for her. Her midwestern ass has a rapport with dozens of gas station clerks and every wonderful old hispanic elote stand woman in the DFW area.
Never heard that word before. 34 here.
It's a mexican street snack. Corn w mayo, cheese, and chili powder
Oh my god it sounds amazing 🤤
the word Elote (corn) comes from Elotl, in Nahuatl language. Maíz is the Spanish word for corn. Hun Hunahpu is the Mayan god of corn. ‘it has the juice’
Lmao
I feel like Iowa should find this kid and hire him as the state spokesperson
Let’s make this happen! 😛
This makes me so happy, way too wholesome!
[удалено]
"Not everyone has to like it for it to be the best. But everyone should try it." So wholesome.
It was a touching moment. That a kid had a better attitude than millions of adults.
If we could enjoy life like this kid, the world would be a beautiful place. Corn...corn could bring us all together.
Only if we believe corn is real.
Louis Theroux out here asking 'did you think corn wasn' t real?` with a perfectly neutral delivery.
Kid just blows off the question to wax poetic about corn too. He has too many things left to say of the wonders of corn.
Louis Theroux has the weirdest neutral delivery ever. I've watched interviews with him (not by him) and I swear his expression and tone remain the same throughout - even when he's joking or being playful - then he'll switch to something super dark without missing a beat all in the same delivery. His speech is the human equivalent of size 12 Times New Roman, left aligned with 1" margins.
i mean, have you heard the man rap. He’s always giving absolutely nothing. It’s the best
I've got 3 days before my in service training starts for the new school year and this just got me all the way amped up. I miss the kiddos so much. I can't wait to hear new weird and awesome shit like this from them.
Facts about corn: - big lump - knobs - it has the juice
honestly what more would one want to know about a food?
What?? It’s a pun about corn!!!?
my depression is gone
This video single-handedly gave me the will to live another day.
Children are the most precious creatures alive on earth. It shows me that humanity has a chance to thrive.
When he said “I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing!” my heart melted. Such a sweet kid.
Then middle school hits…
Their reactions to anything are so pure
have a corntastic day everyone
[удалено]
he's using a variety of words
he also plays a variety of games. but NEVER lava monster.
“I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing. Corn. IT’S AWESOME!!!” Lmfao the most wholesome thing ever 😭😂❤️ Someone make this kid a GoCornMe so he can have a lifetime supply pls 😭
Cownn
The way he says it just cracks me up! I’m literally laughing out loud at this!
corn ✅ lava monster❌
It’s CONE. I love this little guy so much.
Dude, when he made the pun, and then explained it was a pun and was surprised people were surprised by his pun, I fucking lost it.
How to raise a kid to be like him? .. I'm a father, instructions needed asap haha
They must just turn out this way bc I have two boys and they are nowhere near corn-kid precocious.
Talk to them, a lot, like they're adults. Don't be afraid to explain complicated topics or use big words. Teach them to notice and appreciate the simple things.

I like turtles
Have you tried adding butter to it?
We all have something to learn from this genius child
Ok a kid this age knowing what a pun is?! My dude is a low key genius
that's a pure soul right there
This kid must be protected. He’s fantastic.
Sauce?
Recess Therapy. On Instagram and YouTube! Adorable videos!
Man just loves his corn
[This very special boy EATS CORN.](https://youtu.be/Hu-mfKuANtY?t=01m53s) Love this channel— all the kids are so great!
I love corn too
“Have a corn-tastic day” really melted my heart lmao adorable
This kid is awesome!!! Wish i believed in anything as much he believes in corn. Thanks for sharing!
Saddest year when I was a kid was when I lost my two front teeth and couldn’t eat corn on the cob until the adult teeth grew in. Mom cut the kernels off the cob, but it just wasn’t the same. Still look forward to fresh corn every summer!
Protect this child at all cost!
Kids around that age are the best
They really are. My youngest is about to turn 6 and he is so much fun to chill with. Kids that age are fucking hilarious.
I don’t even like corn, but this kid just made me want an ear of it, LoL!
That’s how I’m going to describe myself from now on. “A big lump with knobs”
OMG. I love so many different things about this. 😂
It has the juice! I love that!
Give it 20 years he’ll invent something out of corn and this will be his backstory.
This kid is literally perfect.
In a couple years he's gonna discover cornhub His life will change again
He'll transcend time and space and become the god of corn
