@pubity: Swipe ⬅️ A study found that using sarcasm, especially in teenagers, can be a sign of both intelligence and maturity. 🧠 Sarcasm requires the brain to interpret language on multiple levels, understanding that the literal meaning of words is different from the intended meaning. This process demands mental flexibility, making it a marker of advanced cognitive skills. Children don’t develop the ability to detect sarcasm until later in their development. Studies show that kids under five typically interpret sarcastic comments literally, while understanding sarcasm as humor or teasing doesn’t emerge until around nine or ten years of age. This growth aligns with the development of “theory of mind,” or the ability to grasp another person’s thoughts and intentions. For parents, their teen’s sarcastic remarks can be a reminder of their growing cognitive maturity. While it may come across as snarky, it reflects a sophisticated ability to process language and emotions—a skill that will serve them well in adulthood. #RoadTo16Million #Pubity
