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.

[@superchikzy]

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!

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)

I have been raised to NEVER waste food, so when I watched a food fight in an American movie the first time, i was so confused 😂 like why are food fights even a thing? Why are you fighting with food?!? Lol I completely agree Trevor’s mom on that one.

[@lenochod6]

Exactly! And I am not even from poor family and I have never ever seen in my life food fight, is that really happening in real life or just in american movies?

[@kremove]

In all my life in America, I never saw a real-life food fight. This is Hollywood. Even if my siblings became mad enough at each other to throw anything, we never ever dared to waste food like this. It looked like crazy fun in movies, but we would never do this with our food.

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.
