Kids say the darndest things. If you’re on YouTube or Facebook, you’ll definitely notice more and more videos popping up of kids doing and saying the funniest things. Parents love recording their kids doing something hilarious. Usually, it ends up going viral.
The most entertaining things that kids can do is act like adults. They do or say things that you wouldn’t necessarily expect from an 11-year-old, and the result is instant comedy. When it happens, you can be certain that it’ll be up on social media.
This is exactly what a father from Scotland did after reading his daughter’s feedback form at a parent-teacher night. Gavin Bell, also known as author Mason Cross, revealed on Twitter that his 11-year-old daughter, Ava, was pretty harsh on a pupil feedback form.
According to the BBC, Ava had a problem with the class policy. She used the Geneva Conventions to support her argument.
The form asked the students what the teacher could do better. Most 11-year-olds gave the expected, age-appropriate responses.
Not little Ava though. She wrote, “Not use collective punishment as it is not fair to the many people who did nothing…”
She finished her response with: “Under the 1949 Genva [sic] Conventions it is a war crime.” Pretty impressive an 11-year-old would write that!
Ava clearly had an issue with the policy of punishing an entire class just because one person had bad behavior and she was taking a stand.
Her father was so blown away with this, that he tweeted out a photo of the form and wrote “Not sure if I should ground her or buy her ice cream”
Mr. Bell, who is based in Glasgow, said that Ava is his eldest and she’s “11 going on 47.” He also felt the need to clarify that Ava loves her teacher, she just has that one issue with the policy.
He told the BBC that he saw the form at a “parents’ evening,” where the work of the kids is displayed for the guardians to read.
He also told the BBC that this sort of thing is entirely expected of Ava, laughing “she will never let an argument go home!”
People in the twitter world couldn’t resist commenting. Most people were impressed and enthusiastic about little Ava’s comment.
The majority of people in the twitter world believed that Ava definitely deserved ice cream for her smart comment and that she has a bright future ahead of her, maybe even as an attorney!
Her father responded back to people with an image of Ava holding not one but two cones of ice cream with a big smile on her face. He wrote “the people have spoken”
