This is what happens when you let the Internet choose.

One mother recently had her son tested for kindergarten readiness and was told there was some concern about him since he could not correctly identify an iron. “Of course not, he’s never seen anyone iron anything!”

Come on, everyone knows that the Internet’s main purpose is to provide universal access to cat videos.
And a noble purpose that is, too!.
