When Trevor’s younger brother is smarter than the US president

[@williamcourts2053]

Seeing Trevor's story about bricks brought back memories from my childhood. At age 8, growing up in a small village in northern Sweden, the coolest thing to do during school breaks was breaking and milling bricks to create powder and then mixing the powder with water to "paint" the stone wall beside the school. The bricks were mostly small pieces of roofing tiles, and the teachers understood the fun we had since they had done similar things when they were kids. This was in the late 1980's, before the era of video games and computers. Also, South Africa and Sweden may be half a world apart and an extremely different environments to grow up in. But the ability of children to play with whatever "toys" we could find is the same all over the world, and kids up here are still playing with bricks to this date.

did you know the person who laughed personally that you could've concluded that they never been poor? because i laughed out loud when trevor said that and there are days when my family couldnt eat bcs we have no money when i was a child. i laughed because i can relate. there are people who laugh at their misery yknow

Ok. I'm a South Korean trying to improve my English watching American late night shows. And I'm so happy that I can enjoy Trevor now that I get his accent. I used to only watch Jimmy Kimmel because his jokes are not that difficult and he speaks clearly. And then I could watch Jimmy Fallon soon after because he's got lots of easy to follow formats on his show though he kind of murmurs quite a bit. Then soon after I was fine with Stephen Colbert & Seth Meyers along with Conan O'brien & John Oliver, at about the same time range, but consecutively. These four took me some time binge watching all the episodes! (Esp. LWT, they're so informative and funny, too!) Then now, Trevor Noah. I used to wish I could watch Trevor comfortably because so many people seem to enjoy him but I couldn't because I'm not a native at English. And here I am, I'm so happy! So I'm just throwing this here. Thanks for the great show Trevor!

That's awesome! I grew up in southern Sweden in the 2000s and being in Russia over summer because of my family there, I remember playing with bricks with my cousin... Our uncle was building a house on the lot we owned outside the city, and when they had bricks laying around we would play with them like cars. The most fun we had was when the workers brought in a huge pile of sand and we would just have so much fun with the sand, making tunnels and bridges and roads for our brick cars... Good times...

@Andreas Viklund as i was a at the age of 6-8 ( Im born in 2000) we played the same game here in Germany. There was this brickwall at our school with lots of little holes in its surface because of the generations of children before us. So we kept on the tradition to hit a brick ( that is laying on this brickwall ( brick is coming from this wall 2)) with a rock. After one or two break the rock was powder, which we put into the holes and filled up with water to paint the hole campus. Teachers didn’t like it when we played this game cause they thought we could get hit by particles which could harm us (happened all the time not gonna lie but it was fun)

What I really admire about Trevor is that he openly talks about the times when he was poor in a very authentic way, he's not ashamed of it. I'm Arab and although there are many poor Arabs but there is this idea that being poor is shameful, and I know a lot of celebrities who avoid mentioning they come from poor families. But I think they really need to be more like Trevor, because what he's doing is uniting people by making them feel they can relate. This comment section made my heart warm seeing all of these people talking about their childhood, and the simple times.

[@___LC___]

All Abored well, not all children grow up in similar circumstances. I can very much relate to playing with bricks and we didn’t eat out even once a month (food in the home was highly regulated, you ate what you received at a meal and did not have the freedom to snack without permission to eat the item, you didn’t say you didn’t like what was for dinner as it was all there was.) We played with objects we found outdoors and began working as soon as we could find work. We didn’t receive an allowance, as working in the home was expected as a part of the family: if you live there, you work to maintain the home (something I think is lost on many entitled kids.) However, some people have grown up so very spoiled in comparison to the rest of us. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in a nation with mandatory education for children and the opportunity to attend university, even if I’m still paying off my second degree...despite catching a virus that rendered me disabled. I see these “influencers” who live lives of luxury while their parents work two jobs a piece to support the lifestyle and I am sickened.
