The Fall of Single Feather...
As Children
Are born, they begin learning many things at an extremely extensive rate. Some of this things fostered by the stimuli from their environment, and others taught purposefully by adults.
For instance, parents teach children how to use language. Saying specific words or sentences for their children to pick up and use. Words like "ma-mum" (eating/food) and This is sparta!"
There can be 2 reasons why an adult would teach children something.
1) For the child. To improve their development, or perhaps to test and understand their current developmental stage.
2) For themselves. A.K.A their amusement.
It really pisses me off since the reason most of times falls under number 2. Even though the child do benefit developmentally after all, the attitude of the adults can be pretty sickening. Teaching them something that simply amuses others as if they were some form of a toy.
That being said, you should totally ask a child, if you do have one, to attempt and pronounce the word, "firetruck". To test the physical abilites and stage of the coordination of their tongue muscles. Especially if they just started to use words.
