Man she's one distracted girl. Pretty smart though. I don't even know where Djibouti is.

But somehow I get the feeling that it was more of her parent's teaching skills coming to fruition than the girl's actual smarts.

cute

she's smarter than most americans lol

yeh, some good parents there. most kids dont get this kind of attention

What a cutie!

"Mexico!"

Yeah, baby, Mexico!!!!

I don't know what it is about little girls and the squeaking joy they have, but it tugs at my heart.

Oh, that's awesome. She's the anti-Miss South Carolina!

Go Lilly!

lol dancingdryad. It's amazing what happens when parents take an active role in their children instead of using the TV as the educator/babysitter. Sorry, I just had to go there...

New Zealand isn't in Europe?

I'm sorry sweety, you know that Santa wont come this year because you didn't find Norway.

This is fake. Photoshop!

Did that kid insist its Mehico and not Mexico? Or was she just not able to pronounce the 'x'?

See, this is what happens when people in your nation has maps, like such as!

The kid's not smart: it's a map, and she's just READING the names.

Doesn't even know where Paraguay, Norway and Djibouti are. Jeez.

"Did that kid insist its Mehico and not Mexico? Or was she just not able to pronounce the 'x'?"

I didn't notice that, but you might be right.

I thought that she seemed to like certain names that sounded good in her mouth. Mexico, India, China, Spain, Turkey.... Or maybe she liked those words because she was finally able to make her mouth evoke the right sounds, the same sounds as mom and dad.

She also seemed to like the clapping and the interaction with her mother.

Stuff like this makes me start to try to peel away the various layers of meaning, to Lilly and to her parents.

I’ve also noticed that girls seem to be more verbal but also more physical when the physical activity is somehow coordinated with one or many other people: hand games, jump rope, dance.

(Boys are physical too, but the coordination always seems to serve some confrontational goal, to beat another team, for instance.)

The way her little finger would poke at the tiny countries on the map with such precision just cracked me up.

Parents should pay this much attention to their kids, supporting them the whole way but not spoiling them, teaching them, etc. No ideology.


Too bad these parents are like 1/1000 in my generation (20-30 yr/old).

"Too bad these parents are like 1/1000 in my generation (20-30 yr/old)."

No judgement!

But what you said was too true.

"Lilly" - let her grow.

I live very near gang-bang street, so I'm a little jaded that way, but I know that most of those kids were not raised...that way. I've drunk beers with their mothers, but the power of the "hood" reigned.

I don't know how to fix things...I just know they're fucked up...and we should at least try to fix them.

"Did that kid insist its Mehico and not Mexico?"

That's the way to pronounce it properly, the x has an h sound.....mom n' dad prob'ly got lucky on that one, they pronounced it like proper crackers...

Pro, yeah, if you pronounce it right, it sounds more like that.

But I feel sorry for this girl, she's not going to be able to function in school. She's going to be too smart because her parents actually paid attention to her instead of passing her off to the the TV.

upvote for knowing where new zealand was!

Is it just me or does she seem a little Autistic?

I knew that! Who said I didn't?
