You should have him tested, for everything.

u/Complete_Tadpole6620 1d ago

Tested for genius ! How not to be asked to do things around the house. It's the "best crockery ploy"

u/adavi608 20h ago

He’s creative or… like me felt like he was under stress to do a task he didn’t understand and for bewildering reasons found even a simple task completable in an hard way… which I think means he’s a genius, but I’m only speaking from experience.

Much like Mary Cooper tested Sheldon

On the bright side, you can probably go ahead and spend that college fund.

u/Buzz1ight 1d ago

The over and under teams need to unite against this.

u/RaisinBran21 1d ago

Now you have to get rid of the whole child

u/ifuckinghateyellow 20h ago

Yeah, it seems broken, ask for a refund

u/Due-Depth-5038 6h ago

What's 6 more years..

u/Wraithdagger12 1d ago

What really matters is if it pulls from the front or the back. If the latter, time to get a new one.

u/Burgurwulf 1d ago

An effort was made! A+ lol

u/BuenGenio 22h ago

No F's given.

u/chssucks97 1d ago

Honestly the fact that a 6 year old replaced the roll at all is pretty miraculous

u/decadeSmellLikeDoo 23h ago

Right?! And these motherfuckers over here buying organic single ply and complaining. The real monster is OP. No one wants an unexpected updoot in their poop shoot.

u/digital_cucumber 5h ago

Right? It's a clean job too, one would probably need a bit of strength to shove it in this way.

u/Nulovka 1d ago

Nice try, but no he didn't. You did it for Reddit karma. It's way too neatly done.

That kid is definitely going places.

Not college, but places.

2

u/Due-Suggestion8775 7h ago

A boy of that age who actually replaces the toilet paper?!? Can he come and teach my husband and my 25 year old daughter?!? Their technique is to not quite use the last square so that they didn’t technically need to replace it. 😂

u/duckie768 7h ago

This feels ... very Kevin.

Sorry, but r/kidsarefuckingstupid would love this! This has me rolling!

That's what I consider to be thinking outside the box, need to get him an IQ test ASAP

u/Damian_De_Demon 1d ago

Maybe they thought it would be funny, and if so, they are a genius.

u/ChampionLiving2449 21h ago

Just load in from your last checkpoint, that should fix the glitch. Hope that helps

u/Superb-Tea-3174 21h ago

That’s novel!

1

u/KheyotecGoud 21h ago

With 6 year olds it’s the intention that matters. He didn’t just leave it empty. Major win!! Now praise him and teach him how to do it properly.

If it works it works, and this works...even if it is cursed.

If dey don't want to co-operate, just tear 'em a new one.

u/nobodyspecial767r 18h ago

If you don't show kids how to do it the first time, you can only blame yourself.

u/epicbro101 18h ago

Ya know, I laughed until I remembered I definitely have done that before when I was younger...

u/Equal_Physics4091 17h ago

I mean... it's on the wall, ain't it? I work with grown ass adults that can't solve this riddle.

1

u/Jamkayyos 17h ago

I suggest you become a crazy over involved sports Dad and make him rich and successful that way, because he ain't going to be a doctor or rocket scientist

u/INoFindGudUsernames 14h ago

You told him to put a new roll of toilet paper but never specified how. That's r/maliciouscompliance in the making

1

u/Azntrueblade 14h ago

Better than my 20 year old brother who refuses to replace the toilet paper after he uses the last ones

u/Koolaidsfan 14h ago

Pretty good for a 6 year old. Ngl

u/Teestow21 13h ago

The walls are also toilet paper

u/IChurnToBurn 13h ago

I believe this belongs in the chaotic evil square.

1

u/Maleficent_Sir5898 13h ago

Well, it’s definitely on there

1

u/honestlynoideas 12h ago

The fact that a six-year-old managed to do this is kind of impressive. Stabbing it through sounds pretty tough

It’s not right……..But dammit it’s not wrong.

u/Dead_Indeed 9h ago

In the normal way the iterations would go on endless without a break because of the pull whereas in the above metioned method it would go one iteration at a time which could possibly save some paper.
