... psychologists and neuroscientists ... found that sarcasm requires the brain to jump through numerous hoops to arrive at a correct interpretation, requiring more brainpower than literal statements. And although it's often dismissed as juvenile snark, sarcasm is actually evidence of maturity – as it takes years for a child's developing brain to fully grasp and master it.

I'll sleep better knowing that my 9 year old is growing up to be an intelligent being and not just a little a little shit to me and her mom.

... You probably believed that and missed the sarcasm.  Which means you're stupid.

Hell yeah, add this to “I got bad grades because I’m so smart and it’s too boring for me to bother with these tests for simpletons.” I tried that one once.

If this is true, I'm Albert fuckin Einstein.

I guess I lowered my kids intelligence level then. After several sarcastic remarks his teenagers they wound up with several knots upside the head and bingo, no more smart ass sarcasm.

Yay, I'm intelligent as fuck, for a teenager, except I'm a man. Come at me, bro!
