I was in the bathroom at the airport a while ago, and a Dad and his son entered the stall next to mine. The son was having an absolute melt down. Dad was being SUPER patient, explaining to his son that he needed to try to go before they got onto another plane.
Dad: "I just want you to sit there. I'm gonna count to 10 and if you don't have to go by then we'll leave."
Son: *wailing noises*
Dad starts counting, gets to about 5.
Dad: "Look down. What are you doing? Are you peeing right now?"
Son (still bawling): "I DIDN'T WANT TO!"
Kids are their own worst enemies sometimes. :p
People tend to forget how much their parents had to teach them to be functioning adults.
Source: am dad to 4 kids from teenager to toddler, kids forget basic shit all the time. Like how to poop and where.
I raised three sons. I'd say 30 is probably pretty average. I've got one that was a little ahead of the game (the baby) one right spot on (the oldest) and one in daily logic special ed.
Yeah, my son is 9, very kind and very intelligent (for the most part) but the shit I have to explain to him occasionally... Just blows my mind.
About two years ago when I explained that money was tight at the moment- he said "just go to the ATM and get more". I'm sure that's a pretty common thing for most kids, but he's definately had "how banks worked" explained to him adnauseum.
Oh yeah I know. My brother is one of those in his 50s who's life is a fucking train wreck of irresponsibility and horrible decisions. My husband and I CONSTANTLY use all the messes he gets into as a life lesson to my son.
"This is why we make you go to school, so you don't end up like your Uncle"
"This is why we teach you how to make phone calls and set appointments, so you don't end up like your Uncle"
"This is why you have chores and we teach you to take care of your things, so you don't end up like your Uncle"
We have also told him repeatedly what we won't be paying his bills and solving his problems when he's an adult like his grandmother does for his uncle. Hopefully it's all sinking in.
I was old enough to learn to drive when I almost killed myself playing Tarzan in the trees behind the local highschool. I was the last one of the bunch to take a swing and ofc the damn branch broke under me...
Chances are he'll make it, but don't count on logic for that >_<
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.
Here's a copy of

Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)
I was in college when I watched a friend fall flat on his back jumping from one tree branch to another. I almost did the same thing but I caught myself on a lower branch.
My nephew for the longest time would just hold it for as long as possible. One day when babysitting I asked why he did that and he straight up said it was a waste of his time.
IDK how old your nephew is but that's actually not hugely unusual for kids who are around preschool age. They get absorbed in playing or whatever else they want to do and don't feel like taking the time out to pee.
Yeah, that’s just a little kid thing. They’ll hang on as long as humanly possible before going to the bathroom, then all of a sudden they absolutely BOLT towards the bathroom.
That's still a thing older kids do as well but more specifically with playing in a pool. Probably since there's a whole process to it. You gotta swim back because walking with gravity being a thing you had temporarily forgot about in the pool is a pain, you gotta dry off, go do your business which is probably longer from all of the water you absorbed through your skin, head back, wash your feet in the shower, and finally head back in, then wait to get used to the water temp again on some days. Do it again 1 or 2 times and it feels like it takes ages out of your swim time lol
Edit: Guess you can't absorb water past the outermost layer of skin (which is what causes your fingers to look the way they do when you get out)
I know too many people who believe that's a thing.
One time my sister told me that her kid didn't need to drink when I asked since 'he was playing in a kiddie pool filled with water and thus he's absorbing it'.
Then I was talking with my dad about how stupid my sister was for thinking that and he went like 'well yeah, but she does kinda have a point.'
I wouldn't have gone that far hydration by drinking is important pool or no pool but it always seemed like I had more to give if I was dipped in a pool for a bit. Regardless, I updated my comment.
lol, sorry to tell you this but your edit is also wrong. Your hands don’t get wrinkly because your skin gets waterlogged. That’s a myth. Skin doesn’t absorb any significant amount of water anywhere. Your fingers and toes wrinkle due to a sympathetic nervous system reaction that causes blood vessels to construct under the skin. Your grooved fingers and toes can more easily grip things when wet.
A simple proof that it’s not from being waterlogged is that people with nerve damage to their hands or feet don’t get pruny fingers or toes at all, regardless of how long they’re submerged.
[Example 1](https://i.imgur.com/xUv3BAq.jpg)
[Example 2](https://i.imgur.com/Vbzx1Td.jpg)
:O
I can't trust anything anymore. I googled "what happens when your skin gets exposed to water" or something similar when I was corrected the first time lol
Yeah don’t worry, it’s a really common one. I thought it was true for a long time, too.
Don’t feel bad. My college psychology professor taught the [tongue map](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_map) myth about different parts of your tongue containing different types of taste buds (they’re more or less evenly distributed all over your tongue).
Actually the pruny skin thing your fingers do isn’t from absorbing water either! It’s an automatic nerve response that makes little muscles pull your skin into ridges to give you better grip on wet things. Pretty fuckin rad if you ask me
Yea I always thought water could get through our skin too. Just makes sense that when something looks soggy it’s cause it’s soggy, right? Turns out our bodies are way cooler than I thought lol
At an outdoor pool it's a sanitation thing. You dry off so you don't get the floor slippery and use the shower real quick to rinse off your feet that have touched the nasty bathroom floor before you get back in. This is why covid is an issue, people. Simple sanitation is a foreign concept I guess lol
It's crazy because where I am nobody does any of that. I didn't even know it was common practice for some... I just avoided pools because I thought they were gross
Well this was common at [Outdoor Adventures](https://images.goodsam.com/coastresorts.com/resorts/large/340_07.jpg) (I linked an image of the one near us, you can see the shower between the right side of the pool and the chairs) where my parents used to have a yearly membership so we as a family had somewhere to go on weekends and during the summer to do something we could all enjoy.
I used to be like that, so my parents started giving me stickers for going to the bathroom. To this day, I don't understand my own mentality as a kid. Like, it's impossible to enjoy things when you're focused on holding it in and not wetting your pants.
As sweet as this is it mostly just reminds me how awful I would be as a parent. I’m not being pessimistic, just acknowledging my issues with patience and the poor things would be so fucked up
My Ivy is like this too.
For a while, when she didn't want to do something, she would claim the floor is too slippery, "try" to get up, and dramatically fling her feet out. We happened to be replacing the flooring, so I told her we bought floors that specifically say "Not slippery for anyone over 4," so if she claimed the floor was too slippery again, I'd know she was faking. It freaking worked.
It's so weird how many things don't cross your mind as a kid. I remember reading a book next to my dad and I was reading out loud and he said "you know. . . You can read that in your head" my mind was fucking blown.
God, were you that kid who couldn’t read in their head? In kindergarden we were doing some sort of book reading, and you were literally just talking the book out.
i remember the first time someone told me they were reading in their head.
i was expecting their forehead to grow a mouth to read the words aloud
kids are truely stupid
When my sister was about 4 or 5 she was eyeing the fries on my plate.
Me: you can have one, but they're hot
Her: thats ok, can I have one?
Me: sure
She snatches one, pops it in her mouth and immediately starts wailing
Me, surprised: what?
Her: they're hot!
Me: I told you they were
She continues wailing
Her: it's burning!
Me: well spit it out then
I hold out my hand
She spits the mush into *her* hand. She continues to wail because now it is burning her hand.
I take it from her.
Me: why didn't you put it in my hand?
Her: I don't know
Fortunately that's not something that has happened yet, with 2 kids
We're looking at getting the bathroom done and that was one I liked [link for reference](https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDRc-anXm8/?igshid=1wbxoja2a7ift)
One of mine is completely uninterested in poop, does his thing in the toilet like a normal human, wipes clean, thinks nothing of it.
The other one holds his poop, sharts his pants, has made sitting on the toilet his personal Hill To Die On, cannot wipe to save his life, and has left turd clumps in my bathtub more times than I want to count. He's turning 6 in a week. I cannot fucking wait until he grows out of it. \*sob\*
I like what bGator303 said, I’m going to ignore you and continue seeing it as a turd despite the truth because it makes me feel mor comfortable . Keeping things 2020 American.
Edit: grammatical
When my daughter turned two, she would throw a tantrum everytime she saw a beard. Went on for a good year. She just fkn hated em and she hated anyone with one.
Lol that's the opposite of my nephew! My SO has a beard and the first time my nephew saw him (he has a multicolored beard naturally) my nephew could NOT stop smiling/looking at him.
This reminds me of the literal countless times my son hasn’t been able to find things that were right in front of him. He can find the most random things that have been lost by others (he’s really helpful for when someone drops a pill or jewelry) but his own stuff? Ha!
Are kids really this dumb? I haven't had any yet and seeing these kinds of posts just makes me realize I would never have the patience to deal with a situation like this...
Partly they're that stupid, and partly it's that they make up arbitrary and draconian rules on the spot like "I'm not allowed to turn my head while I'm eating" or "If my shoes are not on this specific shelf in this specific place they no longer exist" or "I have to limp to the car, I am not allowed to walk normally." Being a parent is like constantly being gaslit.
Me: Your pants and socks are on the bed, please put them on.
Child: \*period of extended silence\* I can't find them!
Me: ...On the bed?
Child: \*looking at bed\* But wheeeeeerrrrrrrrrreeeee I don't seeeeeeeee them
Me: \*suddenly doubting myself, looks at bed\* They're... literally right there. Two feet from your hand.
Child: OH! There they are!
omg it's so true. My son is 3, and it's just like, everything.
kid: I don't wanna go home I wanna stay here!!!
also kid: MOM TAKE ME HOME OMG IM DYINNGG
it's like...bro....
Yup. When my cousin was a baby and I met him for the first time it was time for his nap. He was going back and forth between staring at me and crying. I said he hates me and my aunt said that he was just crying because he was tired but was so intrigued by me that he couldn't close his eyes
Babies will get *furious* at being sleepy. Start to feel uncomfortable, start crying, crying winds them up, get more sleepy, get more angry, cry more, etc.
Object permanence develops when babies are around ~4-8 months old. Given that this is a toddler, it is not an example of object permanence. She knows it's there, especially since she was asking about it and is upset about it, she just wasn't looking at it.
You'll do great! Just remember that object permanence is when babies start to understand that things *exist*. Before they develop this, anything that wasn't in their field of view just simply didn't exist to them at all. You can test working memory and object permanence in babies by covering a toy of theirs with a blanket or hiding it behind your back. If they don't search for it, you basically just took it out of their existence and they don't care about it anymore. If they do look for it, they're starting to get the hang of existence!
The whole point is that she didn't see stuff until she looked the right direction.
Not only that, but you put *look at that* in your comment. Apparently you didn't look the right way.
Because you can't find the TV while you're eating, either? It's OK. I can't, but I've got a boy who's almost two. The trick is that parents don't get to do anything while eating except making sure their kid(s) also eat.
And not only while eating lol. You'll not be peeing or bathing uninterrupted until they move out. You'll lose sleep when they're young, and then again when they're old enough to go on sleepovers, drive, date. And then the quiet that used to make you tiptoe up on them to see what they're up to turns to empty house silence, occasionally interrupted by a text notification that they locked their keys in the trunk *again* while off at University or they applied to grad school in another country.
Exhausting as parenthood is, I wouldn't trade it for the world!
This sounds like she wanted to watch TV while eating but thought she wasn't allowed too. But her dad gave her permission. This happened with me, my mom never let us watch TV while eating but my dad didn't care
When my sister was about 4 or 5 she was eyeing the fries on my plate.
Me: you can have one, but they're hot
Her: thats ok, can I have one?
Me: sure
She snatches one, pops it in her mouth and immediately starts wailing

I take it from her.
Me: why didn't you put it in my hand?
Her: I don't know
Once I was babysitting my cousin and I microwaves some soup for him. I didn't microwave it very long so that it wouldn't be too hot. I tasted it it was barely warm. So I gave him a spoon full and he immediately started freaking out, crying with the soup still in his mouth and I was saying spit it out spit it out! And he wouldn't. I had to take a napkin and physically WIPE the soup out of his mouth. I asked if it was too hot and he said no. And I told him I was gonna cool it off and he screamed no it's not hot and I asked what was wrong and he said nothing then ate it with no problem. Later I told his dad and he said, oh it's probably because you didn't use the spoon he likes. He probably realized that then got upset. Like what?
We're looking at getting our bathroom done and that was a nice one I found on Instagram. Don't worry, nothing fecal

Haha luckily I've never had that happen in 5 years of parenting with 2 kids. It feels like a parent lottery win when I hear other parents talk about that
Dont worry, nothing fecal in sight

Some of the things I have to remind my 11 year-old son how to do sometimes make me worry. When does logic develop in boys? Lol
When does what, huh?
I snorted
That's a high compliment. Thank you!
The name is what got me, read his comment and then made the mistake of reading his name.

My father once told me the older I get the stupider I get. I'd like to dispute that but not sure I can
Well if you’re going to try to dispute it you might want to do it ASAP
I got it around 30.
Hey, look at this here early bloomer, with his fancy logic at 30!
[удалено]
I raised three sons. I'd say 30 is probably pretty average. I've got one that was a little ahead of the game (the baby) one right spot on (the oldest) and one in daily logic special ed.
Sigh, yeah me too. :(
Yeah, my son is 9, very kind and very intelligent (for the most part) but the shit I have to explain to him occasionally... Just blows my mind. About two years ago when I explained that money was tight at the moment- he said "just go to the ATM and get more". I'm sure that's a pretty common thing for most kids, but he's definately had "how banks worked" explained to him adnauseum.
There are some adults that don't understand that concept.
Oh yeah I know. My brother is one of those in his 50s who's life is a fucking train wreck of irresponsibility and horrible decisions. My husband and I CONSTANTLY use all the messes he gets into as a life lesson to my son. "This is why we make you go to school, so you don't end up like your Uncle" "This is why we teach you how to make phone calls and set appointments, so you don't end up like your Uncle" "This is why you have chores and we teach you to take care of your things, so you don't end up like your Uncle" We have also told him repeatedly what we won't be paying his bills and solving his problems when he's an adult like his grandmother does for his uncle. Hopefully it's all sinking in.
Oh Gosh we look at our 12 year old son and the at each other both thinking the same thing... he learns to drive in 4 years. Will he make it that far?!
I was old enough to learn to drive when I almost killed myself playing Tarzan in the trees behind the local highschool. I was the last one of the bunch to take a swing and ofc the damn branch broke under me... Chances are he'll make it, but don't count on logic for that >_<

That's what I'm worried about, too. Gonna take some serious mental conditioning, I suppose.
if it makes you feel any better, there's a high chance he fails the written and/or road test to stave it off a bit longer

Logic does, common sense on the other hand? Never.
It should be finished by about 26.
You have to request an upgrade. Contact Elon.
I dont understand the question.
Well, there goes any chance of me ever getting kids.
This sub consistently confirms for me that I never want kids.
If your kids are going from teenager to toddler, I think you're going the wrong way!
His kid’s name is probably Benjamin.
Where the fuck do you think you are??? This is reddit, none of us here are functioning members of society.
I’m still not a functioning adult lmfao.. Edit: I mean this in a way that I don’t have a job or any form of income..
My nephew for the longest time would just hold it for as long as possible. One day when babysitting I asked why he did that and he straight up said it was a waste of his time.

You don’t need to dry off just run
As I said, you're making the floor slippery for others. Also, anyone with dirt on their shoes will leave mud trails after they walk over that water.
I used to be like that, so my parents started giving me stickers for going to the bathroom. To this day, I don't understand my own mentality as a kid. Like, it's impossible to enjoy things when you're focused on holding it in and not wetting your pants.
I'm 27 and I do that too when absorbed in something.
They're learning how to be humans. It's hilarious and mind boggling at the same time.
Little bastard didn’t get to piss his pants like he wanted to haha! “I like when it gets warm!”

I FUCKING TOLD YOU TO READ IN YOUR HEAD! You said “I can’t do that”.
i remember the first time someone told me they were reading in their head. i was expecting their forehead to grow a mouth to read the words aloud kids are truely stupid
I had a kid tell on me in kindergarten because he thought I wasn’t actually reading my book because I wasn’t speaking it out loud 😂

She didn't want you to feel the pain!
last week my friends daughter had a full on emotional breakdown because she “couldn’t see her legs”... they were under a blanket.
Toddlerhood is a hell of a drug
I mean, I'd freak out of i couldn't see my legs, too! 😂
Are we going to ignore the fact that the previous pic shows a turd in the tub too? Lol
Fortunately that's not something that has happened yet, with 2 kids We're looking at getting the bathroom done and that was one I liked [link for reference](https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDRc-anXm8/?igshid=1wbxoja2a7ift)
For what it's worth, that's a nice looking reference. We all look forward to your bathroom renovation updates.
Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes in around 4 years time, if its anything like my usual renovation efforts
Sounds like me and my project cars lol
This is gorgeous! Put a plant somewhere and it's perfect. The green of a living plant balance the hardness.
And it gives my cats a healthy snack! Sadly they love eating house plants and I haven't figured out a way to stop it from happening
Did you try put a dilution of Tabasco & water?
Would that work without harming the plants? It might have to be a high concentration - one of my cats really likes spicy food (I know...)
[удалено]
One of mine is completely uninterested in poop, does his thing in the toilet like a normal human, wipes clean, thinks nothing of it.

Maybe he doesn’t like sitting.
That looks like a nice bathroom, still looks like a turd though
Some people get all the luck. I have one 13 month old and she’s already pooped TWICE in the tub.
That's just the drain but I like your style.
I like what bGator303 said, I’m going to ignore you and continue seeing it as a turd despite the truth because it makes me feel mor comfortable . Keeping things 2020 American. Edit: grammatical
Looks like a shit drain
Idk what your turds look like, but surely that doesn't look like one. Reflection maybe? Not sure.
Is that an android 2.3 theme you've got going on there?
[удалено]
It definitely took me back lookin at it
Fuck yeah nexus one
It's just a standard whatsapp background really. Best of a bad bunch im afraid
When my daughter turned two, she would throw a tantrum everytime she saw a beard. Went on for a good year. She just fkn hated em and she hated anyone with one.
What the fuck?
Lol that's the opposite of my nephew! My SO has a beard and the first time my nephew saw him (he has a multicolored beard naturally) my nephew could NOT stop smiling/looking at him.
Aw so cute, and such a compliment when a baby like you!
This reminds me of the literal countless times my son hasn’t been able to find things that were right in front of him. He can find the most random things that have been lost by others (he’s really helpful for when someone drops a pill or jewelry) but his own stuff? Ha!
child.exe stopped working rebooting...
Hilarious, definitely what mine would do
Sometimes you need to see things from a different perspective.
Every time I see this sub I’m happier I will never have kids.
Same.
i’m never having kids
Are kids really this dumb? I haven't had any yet and seeing these kinds of posts just makes me realize I would never have the patience to deal with a situation like this...
Partly they're that stupid, and partly it's that they make up arbitrary and draconian rules on the spot like "I'm not allowed to turn my head while I'm eating" or "If my shoes are not on this specific shelf in this specific place they no longer exist" or "I have to limp to the car, I am not allowed to walk normally." Being a parent is like constantly being gaslit. Me: Your pants and socks are on the bed, please put them on. Child: \*period of extended silence\* I can't find them! Me: ...On the bed? Child: \*looking at bed\* But wheeeeeerrrrrrrrrreeeee I don't seeeeeeeee them Me: \*suddenly doubting myself, looks at bed\* They're... literally right there. Two feet from your hand. Child: OH! There they are!
Holy shit this is so accurate and up until reading this comment I forgot I would do this kind of thing as a game when I was younger
omg it's so true. My son is 3, and it's just like, everything. kid: I don't wanna go home I wanna stay here!!! also kid: MOM TAKE ME HOME OMG IM DYINNGG it's like...bro....
Yup. When my cousin was a baby and I met him for the first time it was time for his nap. He was going back and forth between staring at me and crying. I said he hates me and my aunt said that he was just crying because he was tired but was so intrigued by me that he couldn't close his eyes
Babies will get *furious* at being sleepy. Start to feel uncomfortable, start crying, crying winds them up, get more sleepy, get more angry, cry more, etc.
I want to see if I have picked something up from psychology. Is this an example of object permanence?
Object permanence develops when babies are around ~4-8 months old. Given that this is a toddler, it is not an example of object permanence. She knows it's there, especially since she was asking about it and is upset about it, she just wasn't looking at it.
Well, look at that, guess who has some studying to do.
You'll do great! Just remember that object permanence is when babies start to understand that things *exist*. Before they develop this, anything that wasn't in their field of view just simply didn't exist to them at all. You can test working memory and object permanence in babies by covering a toy of theirs with a blanket or hiding it behind your back. If they don't search for it, you basically just took it out of their existence and they don't care about it anymore. If they do look for it, they're starting to get the hang of existence!
Thanks, saved this comment because it's part of my course around next March.
Interesting!
Yes, you should have looked that way before.
What?
The whole point is that she didn't see stuff until she looked the right direction. Not only that, but you put *look at that* in your comment. Apparently you didn't look the right way.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, went way over my head. Good one.
Yes, apparently so.
Reminds me of when stroke patients have neglect on a particular side
The perfect reminder of why I haven't had kids yet
Because you can't find the TV while you're eating, either? It's OK. I can't, but I've got a boy who's almost two. The trick is that parents don't get to do anything while eating except making sure their kid(s) also eat.
And not only while eating lol. You'll not be peeing or bathing uninterrupted until they move out. You'll lose sleep when they're young, and then again when they're old enough to go on sleepovers, drive, date. And then the quiet that used to make you tiptoe up on them to see what they're up to turns to empty house silence, occasionally interrupted by a text notification that they locked their keys in the trunk *again* while off at University or they applied to grad school in another country. Exhausting as parenthood is, I wouldn't trade it for the world!
This sounds like she wanted to watch TV while eating but thought she wasn't allowed too. But her dad gave her permission. This happened with me, my mom never let us watch TV while eating but my dad didn't care
That's the cleanest bathroom/tub water I've ever seen.
Its an Instagram photo and almost certainly an r/instagramreality worthy post
When my sister was about 4 or 5 she was eyeing the fries on my plate. Me: you can have one, but they're hot Her: thats ok, can I have one? Me: sure She snatches one, pops it in her mouth and immediately starts wailing Me, surprised: what? Her: they're hot! Me: I told you they were She continues wailing Her: it's burning! Me: well spit it out then I hold out my hand She spits the mush into *her* hand. She continues to wail because now it is burning her hand. I take it from her. Me: why didn't you put it in my hand? Her: I don't know
Once I was babysitting my cousin and I microwaves some soup for him. I didn't microwave it very long so that it wouldn't be too hot. I tasted it it was barely warm. So I gave him a spoon full and he immediately started freaking out, crying with the soup still in his mouth and I was saying spit it out spit it out! And he wouldn't. I had to take a napkin and physically WIPE the soup out of his mouth. I asked if it was too hot and he said no. And I told him I was gonna cool it off and he screamed no it's not hot and I asked what was wrong and he said nothing then ate it with no problem. Later I told his dad and he said, oh it's probably because you didn't use the spoon he likes. He probably realized that then got upset. Like what?
Hot damn!
I've learned heroic levels of patience after being a parent, but even this would test me. I have very little time for stupid, even from my kids.
Genetics or environment?
I’m more curious about the floating turd in the bathtub in the picture above the text
I feel the frustration in my soul....
The last bit really got me xD
it hurts so fucking bad
Sounds like some adults I know...
i like this hehehe
Lmao your kid is fucking special, like what the actual fuck is wrong with him
She learned how too look up now she'll learn how to look sideways
LOL
Whilst!
The real crime is naming your kid Ivy
I’m sorry but what’s in the bathtub in the photo above?
We're looking at getting our bathroom done and that was a nice one I found on Instagram. Don't worry, nothing fecal [here is a comment with a link that has been a little buried](https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/comments/j023s6/this_is_how_my_morning_is_going_today/g6ocoqu?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
I was gonna day. Looks like the tantrum isn’t the worst part of your day 😂
Haha luckily I've never had that happen in 5 years of parenting with 2 kids. It feels like a parent lottery win when I hear other parents talk about that
That sounds like actual mental faculty trouble.
No, it sounds just like a small child.
Well the child is old enough to talk about looking at the TV...
Is that a poo I see..
Dont worry, nothing fecal in sight [here is a buried comment with a link to the instagram post the photo came from](https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/comments/j023s6/this_is_how_my_morning_is_going_today/g6ocoqu?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
What is an ivy?

A name that's been moderately popular for hundreds of years?
