A few days ago, a mom named Johanna posted a photo of her 5-year-old boys and their recently purchased umbrella on her Facebook page. Within just a few days later, the picture was shared and liked over 50,000 times… The reason? Johanna has two really clever boys!
Here is Johanna’s post:
You may be smarter than a fifth grader, but not smarter than a 5-year-old!! My 5-year-old sons asked for umbrellas at the store today.
“Unfortunately, we’ve only received umbrellas for girls,” the clerk said. But Zeb discovered a super stylish umbrella — a pink one, with hearts — which we buy.
On the way out, Zeb (who has recently learnt all about male/female anatomy) says:
“Mom… the lady that works here is not very smart… She doesn’t know that umbrellas don’t have vaginas & penises”!

All I have to say is: children can be so smart, and pink umbrellas with hearts are always great – whether you’re a boy or girl!
I really smiled when I read this story and so did everyone I shared it with. Feel free to pass on this boy’s adorable response!
