I guess because I was so advanced for my age it's always shocking to see little kids that can't talk right or read, Really it just comes down to someone putting in the time and effort to teach the child and most people these days just can't be bothered. My parents were never around and refused to help me with school work, I would have been completely screwed without my grandma, unfortunately she died when I was 6 (second grade), I always wonder how different things might have been if I could have had her in my life for longer. Maybe I would have actually pursued science like I wanted, my parents discouraged such things as they "weren't for girls".

It comes from the Malay and/or indonesian words "orang" and "hutan" meaning "man/person of the forest" so it's a false cognate. Still very, very smart to notice that they are orange and the name sounds like orange. Those neurons be firing and connecting like CRAZY.

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.

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.

She’s already cracked at sporcle and she cooks Ryan with incredible precision. Luna is OP

[@voxtopass]

Saying "good game, we won" so nonchalantly was just like Kate frfr

[@IrisRisen]

In two years: NL: “no honey, you can’t have a chocolate egg this early in the morning” Luna: “WHADDA HELL”

[@Stolenbiclighter]

Chat going crazy over her reading peepogame while nl just sorta glosses over it was a vibe

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

I love the flood of “I WAS HERE” when she read out stuff on command

[@minhuang8848]

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.

[@TheFreeBro]

I’d probably get bored after an hour of it.

[@buttnuts2599]

Don't reproduce ❤​@@TheFreeBro

[@xToTaLBoReDoMx]

NL was onto something calling it big forest guy instead of the thing you said

[@Epic501]

So Orangutans being Orange is just a total linguistic coincidence?

[@violetnhz]

[@NinaNinaM24]

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.

[@QueenFondue]

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.

[@Waghabond]

He really is an insanely good dad.

[@picklenik9658]

Having “Moose” be the first full word you hear your daughter read is the most Canadian thing ever 😂😂

[@SleekHeroo]

Next word should've been "Sorry" 🤣

[@koloblican11763]

"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

[@OGStarrSEC]

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.

[@countesscrows]

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.

[@augustday9483]

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.

[@edwardmarshall2035]

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.

[@quinnlance9487]

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.

[@mestreluk]

I wonder if NL was uncomfortable that this revelation happened on stream... Nevertheless, it was touching, so I'm egoistically glad it did.

[@vinnyvdvici]

I don’t think there was any tinge of uncomfortableness there - just seemed like excitement to me!

[@icantnotthink3282]

honestly, i was pogging, this is like watching videos of people getting cochlear implants or soldiers coming home to their dogs

[@Jack-iu5um]

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

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

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.

[@h..717]

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

[@racebase9146]

Something extremely dystopian in hearing a man say to his daughter “oh my god, you can read! RexMechanica, thank you for the gifted subscriptions”

[@mogwai_]

Thank you for saying so it truly is bizarre

[@secrfidr]

Gonna give benefit of the doubt here; he was probably running on autopilot. It's probably just habit for him to thank ppl.

[@lonoran]

dystopian is a bit much, its just an artifact of the situation

[@jackonthebound]

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

[@Slick-vo9hp]

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.

[@naan000]

0:41 shoutout to that one viewer who randomly said "she can read??", they got it right before anyone

[@MedorraBlue]

When I learned to read at school, my mom didn't know. I started reading a book to her at bedtime. She screamed. 😂

Now we gotta be chill in the twitch chat

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

Right lol The little one can see you, so you BEST behavior

[@icecoldbeauty]

Never watched this streamer before, but he is so communicative with his daughter! No wonder this girl have developed great skills in speech!

[@SkateFallen1424]

"one thing you should know about daddy is he's the best in the world at this game" luna: *cant control her laughter* shes so smart

[@jessescott6259]

[@SomeGuy-tr2hi]

“What does this say?” “Moose” “WHAAAAAAA”

[@Xx_LightningJolt_xX]

the fact that every chatter immediately exploded in impression is hilarious to me lmao, "SHE CAN REEAD!" "POGGERS READER" hahaha

[@markmckenzie5343]

"How did you know I was on Google?" Youre about to find out...

[@theonehitko]

I feel so parasocial holyy. This makes me more happy than it should

[@BolosGerogerigegege]

cant believe shes been cooking that for 3 years 🐐

[@rekdreams247]

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.

[@leelee7609]

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

[@lilwaffleiron7845]

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 😭

[@loglorn]

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

[@sstockingg]

I have no original experiences in life, learnt how to ride a bike at 11 but could read at 2-3

[@shestewa6581]

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.

[@reishin6]

This is some next level parasocial stuff. I feel like an uncle watching my niece grow or something

[@bananapepperben]

took me a solid minute to realize the facecam was peppa pig vtubers. its just so uncanny.

[@vader9133]

Wait that's not NL??

[@skeletini9836]

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.

[@CrackedDota]

I don't get what's so impressive. I can read most of those words

[@Bev4Drawing]

You‘re a saint

The “good game we won” was sending me 🤣🤣

[@caractacuspottsAZ]

I teared up when she said, "For he IS the Kwisatz Haderach!!"

[@asiantom4935]

4:44 orang means people in indonesia and hutan is jungle/forest (we only have one word to describe them). Orangutan literally means jungle people.

[@stretchjumbooo]

the fact they happen to be orang is mere coincidence

[@shannarafryer3111]

Thank you !

[@chastermief839]

chat going "CEREAL LET'S GO SHEEEESH" when she said "books" is killing me

[@lazypops3117]

she even accidentally discovered the f word. this is a core core memory

[@kobisjeruk]

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.

[@StuffAndAlsoThings]

This was the cutest thing ive ever seen plus i love the wholesomeness of the chat hyping her up when she spelt out books

[@sweatystoner]

most comments: shes almost smarter than chat/commenters me sweating nervously: she got 5 planets?!? ye haha i could totally get 5...

[@PainSandwich]

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

good luck man

[@asstmemelord]

best of luck, hopefully you've had some good news on that front in two weeks

[@Cgreen123]

Luna saying, “Good game, we won,” was absolutely the icing on the already adorably hilarious cake.

[@michalswag]

1:47 shes so excited about jupiter and nl responds in kind, so precious

[@CrazzyJ-iw5rc]

hearing Ryan say "oh my god you can read!" brought me back to that first isaac vid i found him through. dude made it.

[@sydb59123]

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! ❤
