My favorite luna moment is when she starts counting to 30 and chats pogging tf out like "LETS FKN GOOOOOOO" as she goes higher and higher. And ryan smugly going "like not to brag but she can go even higher."
20 years later: "One of my earliest memories is when I first showed my dad I know how to read. I'll never forget what he told me that day. He said: 'RexMechanica thank you for the gifted subscriptions.'"
The funny thing is, right at the beginning she was reading CHAT when she said "peepogame" and NL thought she said "people" game, and then she said "Google" because chat said he should "play google" so not only can she read, but she can read chat scrolling at a million fuckin miles an hour
i think it was originally people game that she saw if you pay attention to chat at around 0:07 which is like pretty impressive that she could see it and point it out to NL
@electrowavez1680 library displaces the chat messages so there isn't that much of a notable delay. When the chatter said "people game," they were responding to Luna saying it, not the other way around
Can't tell if this is serious or note, but she wanted to play "peepo game"; Peepo is a game where you hide and surprise the kids and say "PEEPOOOOOO". That simple, works great for kids, is fun. She asked to play this game and then chat reacted to her saying this. Also being on Google... they have a really recognisable logo to be fair. Daddy was just playing Google, not Peepo. She is very intelligent, but not that intelligent haha.
the twitch chat pogging and cerealing at a 3 year old sounding out letters and then reading a word is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while conceptually

Unironically this video is unintentionally doing more heavy lifting for the 'have more kids' movement than the weird trad Greek statue profile pics on Twitter
... true. Northernlion and MatPat's experiences as fathers, unironically, make me think about being a father myself. They exude love and wholesomeness. They are so happy to be parents and they feel fulfilled in that role. No amount of Christian Trad Conservative propaganda about God's desires will have on me the same pull of a father actually loving and enjoying the time spent with their child.
Well, kids are pretty much a universal good for most people. So as long as you love them, respect them as fellow human beings, and raise them right, the reasons that you want them doesn’t matter too much.
...I don't know if that would qualify as a good thing, in the sense that not every child is going to be reading or doing some other "exceptional" thing at 3 years old. I'm worried if it would set people up for disappointment.
Just noticed that she reads the word “Google” at 0:24. I glossed over it at first because I figured that was such common lingo for kids nowadays, but upon re-watching I think she sees the word, reads it, and then is curious about what it means, which implies to me that she didn’t just memorize what the colorful word is before you search something. When my nephew was about 5 and learning to read, we recognized the opposite trend; he’d figure out what certain common words were and how they sort-of looked, then just say every single word that had those letters was that word (“Boat” was what he’d say for almost every single short word with “BO” at the beginning, for example). I don’t think that is happening here, though; she seems to be genuinely understanding the letters and how they make a word, not just the context the word would be in.
You can hear her do something similar to your nephew when she tries to pronounce picture. She says pizza. Probably because they both start with pi. Child language development is wild and showcases how crazy good the human brain is at recognising patterns
This was the cutest shit ever omg. Also it's no secret she's cracked but my god is she a smart baby. When my nephew was the same age he spoke like a caveman. When he wanted to watch peppa pig he would say 'ME WANT PIG' or just point at the tv and snort. I would try to ask him 'yeah but what is the pig's name?' and he would just stare at me and say 'dat PIG'.
most kids would be at this level if their parents were as involved or talked to them as much as NL and Kate do, but most parents don't have that kind of time.
@@bruhfunnybruhmemesandmore8074 that aint true. Yeah, most kids would be better than they are with more care but Luna is really smart, like way smarter than normal.
@@Yalle1My friend's little brother is 4 and can barely speak. I've seen him scrolling UA-cam shorts while throwing a tantrum... it's kind of scary lol
I love hearing parents talk to their small kids like adults/older kids. No baby talk, using slightly bigger words, and just being encouraging without pandering. I truly believe it’s part of why she is this smart. Every kid I’ve see whose parents talk like that have been way ahead of other kids their age
Same yeah! My older cousin has two kids, him and his wife have never babytalked either of them. The eldest spoke in full sentences from age 2, the younger didn't speak at all for the first few years but then suddenly started at like age 4, fully articulate. Theyve grown to be two of the smartest kids Ive ever met. Though their parents also work in media and live in Vancouver, so maybe that helps too xD
NL being a yapper and talking to his kid a lot is exactly the reason behind why his daughter is smart! Kids are incredible at absorbing information and making connections and the fact NL talks a lot, engaged with Luna, and presents her with challenges (without forcing her beyond her limits) allows her brain to be stimulated and has produced the results we see in this video! It’s so amazing and he and Kate are doing a wonderful job
I mean, "x" is pronounced as /ks/ after all, so if the kid knows that most English plurals end in /-s/, then her thinking that /fok/ is the singular makes perfect sense!
SHE'S 3 YEARS OLD - kids at 6 have less literacy! Actually incredible for the age. This is the proof of good parenting AND cracked intelligence AND a consistently stimulating environment.
one of my friends had a 2nd cousin who apparently just had a kindle with audio books on it to use instead of a typical tablet, they were speaking like a 10 year old at 3, oh also their parents had taught them something called baby sign language which probably also helped. in a sense they had been communicating before they were even 1. most 3-4 year old's i've seen just constantly ask why over and over but he was acting like a know it all which was funny.
It depends on the kid, kids learn at different speeds. At that age from what I heard I was also able to read at around the same level. But my older sister struggled and took her way longer to learn. I remember in Kindergarten, there were kids who were just still getting their ABCs down while I was given books from a grade or two up. By around first and second grade though it leveled out and everyone was on pretty much the same level. Still the best thing to do now is to keep her reading along with getting more kids to read so many young kids struggle with literacy as they arent being exposed to reading enough.
I really respect NL for using this as an opportunity to pay attention to her and include her in his interests as well as teach her things. It's refreshing to see him just generally engaging her curiosity and creativity and being supportive of her the entire way.
that's freaking wild, I could watch this sort of stuff all day long lmao also: Orang is a Malay word for person, Hutan means forest - literally "man/person/human of the forest" then.
Him incredulously saying "you can read!" got me teared up for some reason. Probably cause my sister's son who's 6 months is around a lot and seeing them grow up before your eyes is an amazing experience.
I think in the end it’s a net good thing because this is kinda like a home video my parents used to have my siblings and I doing things. But not for me to decide in the end
It's not like he's airing the birds and the bees or bath time. Show yourself giving your child basic enrichment enough times, and this is bound to happen.
NL explained afterwards that he was pretty sure she could read, and I think he was always gonna try to show off her reading on stream, just a bit earlier than expected
You can tell he doesn't really baby talk, he actually converses with his daughter using an adult lexicon and she's SO SMART SO YOUNG now. That's some solid parenting.
I once babysat a 3 year old that was "non-verbal". Turns out, his grandma didn't let him speak. She would finish his sentences like the kid was pointing and about to say "ball" and she would baby talk "oh ball? you want ball?" :/. I spoke to him like I would any kid and he started speaking a little like two weeks later.
The number one thing my parents always told me with regards to parenting was, don't baby talk your children. Talk to them with the same vocabulary you'd use among other adults (of course, without vulgarity). If they don't understand a word, explain it to them. Children are learning MACHINES and will gain understanding fast. If you baby talk, you are teaching them wrong.
Baby talk is cute but it's a babies approximation of speech. So using baby talk to them doesn't help them and often they feel like you're mocking them. Which you kinda are.
Dystopian feels like a strong word, it’s just a funny element to an overall cute moment. His attention was still on the big developmental moment for his daughter
I’ve commented something similar to this before awhile back, as much as I like NL even just streaming in general for abunch of random people that you’ll never know to sit around and watch you play games all day giving you money while your wife or child occasionally show up is weird. I’m not gonna sit and watch a grown man play games and read a chat all day long, when I watch NL it’s almost always the old binding of Isaac let’s plays and only when I’m eating, watch an old episode or two. Streaming in general is just weird though not saying it’s just him.
"Don't you see daddy playing SAP while I am supposed to be helping you do homework?" "Nooo" "That's right, that's 100% correct." Best joke. Right over chats head lol
This kept popping up in my recommendations, no idea who this streamer was, and I kept thinking “wow this guy is so out of touch with his daughter’s life he didn’t even bother to know she can read what a chump.” Little did I know it was the sweetest video ever, Luna was just genuinely being a genius, and now just three weeks since watching this I am a northernlion subber helping him win back his essential female viewership numbers. Thank you Luna and thank you librarian
This is the definition of kids learning to read at wildly different paces. My friend, who is a great writer and an English major didn't even start learning to read until she was 8 years old, meanwhile I literally don't remember a time before I could read. On the other hand I was the last kid in my class who couldn't ride a bike 😭
I can relate to this. I remember going to primary school already knowing how to read and I don’t remember a time I couldn’t read. I was reading at a level YEARS above the norm and i remember when I was like 7 or 8 the school called my mother in for a meeting because I had been taking out 2-3 books every day or two from the library, reading them at home and then getting new ones. They thought I was lying and pretending to be able to read better than I should be especially given the fact I was taking out books that kids 2-3 years older would take like a week to go through and that I must be pretending to be Matilda or something. They intended to prove this by opening random pages of the book I took out the day before called “The Wren” if I recall correctly and ask me what happened. I was able to answer every single question. Sometimes even recite sentences verbatim. It was so weird though that despite this, they still tried to restrict me from reading “above my level” to keep me in line with my classmates, especially as I was a year younger than most of my year to keep us all at the same learning pace. I recall it being EXTREMELY frustrating.
As someone who works with kids, she is so smart for three years old. But even beyond that, its clear that she has two caring parents who go out of their way to teach her things and stimulate her growing mind. Most kids learn to read around 5 years old. And even though its only two years, the mind of a 3 and 5 year old are completely different. She is very special.
some many cool things are happening here! she decoded the word “Ten” *in her head* meaning she didn’t need to break the word down phonetically out loud like kids are taught to do. she may have naturally picked up her own way to decode or is so capable with the traditional methods that she can do them in her head. either those songs she probably hears in daycare are really working for her or she is having repeated applied practice with phonics.
As a 23 year old woman who can’t wait to have kids, this actually made me cry. She is so sweet and smart! And he is such a great father! You can tell she has been raised with so much love and care! ❤
I’m currently going through a custody battle and it’s been a while since I’ve seen my son due to that, this video was exactly what I needed to help me get through the night, thank you man I miss him so much
4:30 A popular misconception of the western world in thinking that 'orang' in orangutan comes from orange. Fact is that 'orang' is the Malay word for people and utan is shoftened of 'hutan' which is the Malay word for forest/jungle i.e. orangutan is forest people. They can only be found in Borneo and Sumatera, SEA.
I learned to read really early because my family sat down and read books to me so often. Pointing out the words as they went. Kids learn SO quick. You just have to give them opportunities to do so.

Northernlion and MatPat's experiences as fathers, unironically, make me think about being a father myself.
They exude love and wholesomeness.
They are so happy to be parents and they feel fulfilled in that role.
No amount of Christian Trad Conservative propaganda about God's desires will have on me the same pull of a father actually loving and enjoying the time spent with their child.
fr like i don't want to be a father to advance my race or whatever, I wanna be a father so I can have moments like these even if I'm not a streamer
Well, kids are pretty much a universal good for most people. So as long as you love them, respect them as fellow human beings, and raise them right, the reasons that you want them doesn’t matter too much.
What kind of race supremacist propaganda are you incels being exposed to...
...I don't know if that would qualify as a good thing, in the sense that not every child is going to be reading or doing some other "exceptional" thing at 3 years old. I'm worried if it would set people up for disappointment.

Just noticed that she reads the word “Google” at 0:24. I glossed over it at first because I figured that was such common lingo for kids nowadays, but upon re-watching I think she sees the word, reads it, and then is curious about what it means, which implies to me that she didn’t just memorize what the colorful word is before you search something.
When my nephew was about 5 and learning to read, we recognized the opposite trend; he’d figure out what certain common words were and how they sort-of looked, then just say every single word that had those letters was that word (“Boat” was what he’d say for almost every single short word with “BO” at the beginning, for example). I don’t think that is happening here, though; she seems to be genuinely understanding the letters and how they make a word, not just the context the word would be in.
@@travellerinthedark Holy crap, things make more sense to me now.
You can hear her do something similar to your nephew when she tries to pronounce picture. She says pizza. Probably because they both start with pi. Child language development is wild and showcases how crazy good the human brain is at recognising patterns
she also reads peepogaming i think at the beginning from chat
sometimes kids will recognise logos before they can actually read what it says
it is kind of how everyone reads words, remember that "Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy" thing
The way I actually yelled when she said ‘moose’ IM SO PROUD
i started tearing up it was so precious
I don't know why but calling your child "dude" is so funny to me. Blessed video
I refer to my 7 month old nephew "my g" on the daily.
You can hear her picking up both Ryan and Kate’s mannerisms 🥲
"WHAT?!?!"
She's cooked lmfao
She’s already cracked at sporcle and she cooks Ryan with incredible precision. Luna is OP
Saying "good game, we won" so nonchalantly was just like Kate frfr
In two years:
NL: “no honey, you can’t have a chocolate egg this early in the morning”
Luna: “WHADDA HELL”
This was the cutest shit ever omg. Also it's no secret she's cracked but my god is she a smart baby. When my nephew was the same age he spoke like a caveman. When he wanted to watch peppa pig he would say 'ME WANT PIG' or just point at the tv and snort. I would try to ask him 'yeah but what is the pig's name?' and he would just stare at me and say 'dat PIG'.

I love hearing parents talk to their small kids like adults/older kids. No baby talk, using slightly bigger words, and just being encouraging without pandering. I truly believe it’s part of why she is this smart. Every kid I’ve see whose parents talk like that have been way ahead of other kids their age
Same yeah! My older cousin has two kids, him and his wife have never babytalked either of them. The eldest spoke in full sentences from age 2, the younger didn't speak at all for the first few years but then suddenly started at like age 4, fully articulate. Theyve grown to be two of the smartest kids Ive ever met.
Though their parents also work in media and live in Vancouver, so maybe that helps too xD
NL being a yapper and talking to his kid a lot is exactly the reason behind why his daughter is smart! Kids are incredible at absorbing information and making connections and the fact NL talks a lot, engaged with Luna, and presents her with challenges (without forcing her beyond her limits) allows her brain to be stimulated and has produced the results we see in this video! It’s so amazing and he and Kate are doing a wonderful job
3:41 does she think “fock” is the singular form of fox?
Oh that’s cute and makes sense
I mean it does make sense
I mean, "x" is pronounced as /ks/ after all, so if the kid knows that most English plurals end in /-s/, then her thinking that /fok/ is the singular makes perfect sense!
@@PurpleShift42thanks for explaining, we are 10 month kids, you know. We don't have basic logic.
Chat going crazy over her reading peepogame while nl just sorta glosses over it was a vibe
I love the flood of “I WAS HERE” when she read out stuff on command
SHE'S 3 YEARS OLD - kids at 6 have less literacy!
Actually incredible for the age. This is the proof of good parenting AND cracked intelligence AND a consistently stimulating environment.
True, she seems gifted. I wish her all the best for the future.
one of my friends had a 2nd cousin who apparently just had a kindle with audio books on it to use instead of a typical tablet, they were speaking like a 10 year old at 3, oh also their parents had taught them something called baby sign language which probably also helped. in a sense they had been communicating before they were even 1. most 3-4 year old's i've seen just constantly ask why over and over but he was acting like a know it all which was funny.
This is just normal for asian people they simply high the highest iq of all the races
Fr I think that she might read better then my cousin who just turned 7😭😭
It depends on the kid, kids learn at different speeds. At that age from what I heard I was also able to read at around the same level. But my older sister struggled and took her way longer to learn. I remember in Kindergarten, there were kids who were just still getting their ABCs down while I was given books from a grade or two up. By around first and second grade though it leveled out and everyone was on pretty much the same level. Still the best thing to do now is to keep her reading along with getting more kids to read so many young kids struggle with literacy as they arent being exposed to reading enough.
I really respect NL for using this as an opportunity to pay attention to her and include her in his interests as well as teach her things. It's refreshing to see him just generally engaging her curiosity and creativity and being supportive of her the entire way.
He really is an insanely good dad.
I love the little NLisms she’s picked up.
NL: what about this one right here?
Luna: WHAT
that's freaking wild, I could watch this sort of stuff all day long lmao
also: Orang is a Malay word for person, Hutan means forest - literally "man/person/human of the forest" then.
I’d probably get bored after an hour of it.

NL was onto something calling it big forest guy instead of the thing you said
So Orangutans being Orange is just a total linguistic coincidence?

The GENUINE adoration in his voice is so fucking SWEET im DYING
Having “Moose” be the first full word you hear your daughter read is the most Canadian thing ever 😂😂
Next word should've been "Sorry" 🤣
Him incredulously saying "you can read!" got me teared up for some reason. Probably cause my sister's son who's 6 months is around a lot and seeing them grow up before your eyes is an amazing experience.
I'm genuinely emotional watching this, wow. Also laughed at the random twitch chatter that said "Dostoyevsky when?"
“Fooook” “Fox!” “I thought I said fuk”
I wonder if NL was uncomfortable that this revelation happened on stream... Nevertheless, it was touching, so I'm egoistically glad it did.
I don’t think there was any tinge of uncomfortableness there - just seemed like excitement to me!
honestly, i was pogging, this is like watching videos of people getting cochlear implants or soldiers coming home to their dogs
I think in the end it’s a net good thing because this is kinda like a home video my parents used to have my siblings and I doing things. But not for me to decide in the end
It's not like he's airing the birds and the bees or bath time. Show yourself giving your child basic enrichment enough times, and this is bound to happen.
NL explained afterwards that he was pretty sure she could read, and I think he was always gonna try to show off her reading on stream, just a bit earlier than expected
You can tell he doesn't really baby talk, he actually converses with his daughter using an adult lexicon and she's SO SMART SO YOUNG now. That's some solid parenting.
I once babysat a 3 year old that was "non-verbal". Turns out, his grandma didn't let him speak. She would finish his sentences like the kid was pointing and about to say "ball" and she would baby talk "oh ball? you want ball?" :/. I spoke to him like I would any kid and he started speaking a little like two weeks later.
The number one thing my parents always told me with regards to parenting was, don't baby talk your children. Talk to them with the same vocabulary you'd use among other adults (of course, without vulgarity). If they don't understand a word, explain it to them.
Children are learning MACHINES and will gain understanding fast. If you baby talk, you are teaching them wrong.
Baby talk is cute but it's a babies approximation of speech. So using baby talk to them doesn't help them and often they feel like you're mocking them. Which you kinda are.
My sister was fully fluent at 3 because she spent all her time with me and my cousins. We were all children, so we spoke to her like another child.
Something extremely dystopian in hearing a man say to his daughter “oh my god, you can read! RexMechanica, thank you for the gifted subscriptions”
Thank you for saying so it truly is bizarre
Gonna give benefit of the doubt here; he was probably running on autopilot. It's probably just habit for him to thank ppl.
dystopian is a bit much, its just an artifact of the situation
Dystopian feels like a strong word, it’s just a funny element to an overall cute moment. His attention was still on the big developmental moment for his daughter
I’ve commented something similar to this before awhile back, as much as I like NL even just streaming in general for abunch of random people that you’ll never know to sit around and watch you play games all day giving you money while your wife or child occasionally show up is weird. I’m not gonna sit and watch a grown man play games and read a chat all day long, when I watch NL it’s almost always the old binding of Isaac let’s plays and only when I’m eating, watch an old episode or two.

This is the definition of kids learning to read at wildly different paces. My friend, who is a great writer and an English major didn't even start learning to read until she was 8 years old, meanwhile I literally don't remember a time before I could read.
On the other hand I was the last kid in my class who couldn't ride a bike 😭
Lmao almost same, i remember being in the process of learning how to read, and yes i was the last one to ride a bike lmaoooo
I have no original experiences in life, learnt how to ride a bike at 11 but could read at 2-3
I can relate to this. I remember going to primary school already knowing how to read and I don’t remember a time I couldn’t read.
I was reading at a level YEARS above the norm and i remember when I was like 7 or 8 the school called my mother in for a meeting because I had been taking out 2-3 books every day or two from the library, reading them at home and then getting new ones. They thought I was lying and pretending to be able to read better than I should be especially given the fact I was taking out books that kids 2-3 years older would take like a week to go through and that I must be pretending to be Matilda or something.
They intended to prove this by opening random pages of the book I took out the day before called “The Wren” if I recall correctly and ask me what happened. I was able to answer every single question. Sometimes even recite sentences verbatim.
It was so weird though that despite this, they still tried to restrict me from reading “above my level” to keep me in line with my classmates, especially as I was a year younger than most of my year to keep us all at the same learning pace. I recall it being EXTREMELY frustrating.
As someone who works with kids, she is so smart for three years old. But even beyond that, its clear that she has two caring parents who go out of their way to teach her things and stimulate her growing mind. Most kids learn to read around 5 years old. And even though its only two years, the mind of a 3 and 5 year old are completely different. She is very special.

They can only be found in Borneo and Sumatera, SEA.
