nosebleeds on the house

i just had a huge epiphany today.
99% of the adult life is spent uttering gibberish and making ridiculous speculations that apparently make you seem knowledgeable.
(for example, so and so couple from korea comes for our bible study meeting and they sing some song. adults immediately start exclaiming that WAO all koreans sing soooo well, it must be the kimchi they eat! and the rest of them nod sagely like that was the most valuable advice theyve ever heard, while the rest of our kids are trying not to fall asleep.)
the othe 1% is spent doing other stuff that completely destroys that impression other adults have of you. that you are knowledgeable. this only applies to adults cause kids see right through it.
which makes me wonder why i took so long to realise it.
and its annoying to watch olympics table tennis with your relatives because:
1. some guy will definitely go SHOUT out the score everytime one of them scores.
2. some other person will definitely say YAY and start cheering when china scores cause they thought singapore scored.
3. your grandparents dont really follow and will keep asking you whats going on
4. some person will make comments and criticize the singapore players everytime they do something wrong. this also adds to my previous point about how adults always try to act like they are Confucius' reincarnate or something. like COME ON man theyre doing theyre best stop trying to say how lousy they are, like you can do better!
hahah why am i saying this again.
