Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

Kids are little parrots. This just means she's heard someone talking obsessively about spoon functionality.

Or she made an astute observation.

Or she made an astute observation.

Uh huh. Wholly without any influence from listening to her parent's conversations; she's a design prodigy.

Why is it so hard to believe that she might actually notice a difference?

And why argue over a silly anecdote?

Which one of us is trying to draw attention, exactly? Which one of us actually contributes anything?

What “aesthetic incongruities and failings” are you referring to? Lots of repeating the same conclusions louder and louder, but without explication or substance.

Got it.

My apologies for having forgotten that you really need a rhyming picture book diagram that even your (naturally, of course, super-precocious*) daughter would understand at a glance.

*One can only imagine the tortuous 40-hour lecture the poor girl had to endure before she could finally perfectly exclaim to your paternal satisfaction, “These are much easier to use than the old spoons, Dada. None of the macaroni falls out onto the table!”

I posted photos and commentary for a piece of antique porcelain. How is this “blatantly seeking attention” in a design thread?

Yeah, how is anything you ever do in any thread ever “blatantly seeking attention”, right?

As opposed to "blatantly seeking approval" or "blatantly seeking pedantry" or "blatantly seeking praise" or "blatantly seeking reactiins" or "blatantly seeking validation" or "blatantly seeking the last ******* word"? #TheFooMessages23,859

Fine lines, no doubt.

Just so I understand: you guys find this nut job’s ranting of equal or greater value versus my “blatant attention getting”? If so, I’ll just see myself out.

How dare you?

*She's most DEFINITELY dada's legit authentic design prodigy, alright, and she better not ever doubt it even for one second....

It doesn’t take a “design prodigy” of a five-year-old to notice whether more or less macaroni falls off a spoon.

To quote FlyingMonkey (never in my wildest dreams did I ever...): PLEASE.


You know you never will though; even your threats and promises are always inauthentic and empty.

I'm uncomfortable reading any debate over one member's child's abilities. It's weird - can we not?

Of course not!

Not when "dada" crams such "knowledge" regarding the new spoons down her throat at every turn.

What the **** is wrong with you? Of all the crazies on this forum, you are really something else.

I think the forum enjoys it too much.

And then there’s this little ****.

Why does this thread attract so much human garbage?

Well, nobody else but the child himself brought the child into the discussion, then doubling down on the claim that "she made an astute observation" while employing her as an unwitting pawn to promote the new Potts. Definitely weird.

Most (normal) parents just want the kid to finish the ******* mac and cheese and get on with the rest of their day.
