Do you have kids? I can't get mine to sit still and focus long enough to learn the basics of playing the piano. The basics. And this is something they pester me to teach them on a weekly basis!
Anyone who has a normal kid would understand why people care more that a kid made something - especially something of such amazing detail.
My kids are happy, that's really everything that I hope for, but someone who puts this level of focus and effort into their work is not what very many people with kids would consider normal.
- Retric 8y agoThat’s the difference between “some kid” and “your kid”. Find a kid that likes playing the piano and it’s no longer an issue. It might be unusual for kids to make something that would still be interesting if an adult had made it. But, their are millions of kids out there.
- balabaster 8y agoOf course, left to their own devices and granted the opportunity, kids will naturally do the thing they most want to do and it never appears to be anything of consequence until you look back on it many years from now. I'm sure my Mum thought I was just wasting time on the computer at 8, but I'm where I am today because of it. But this is equivalent to me having reverse engineered and coded a commercial piece of software that I began in high school... that never happened, and I loved programming.
