“God told Noah to build him an arkylarky” Your Sunday School students would love that song!

Interesting there was never a direct commandment against Patronization in any holy book... prohibitions against lying, stealing, ect but never against patronization. It might come under the classification of having “a haughty spirit” or the definitions of pride perhaps.

Christ thanked the Father for hiding his wisdom away from the wise of this world and revealing it to babes.

Perhaps you ought to become a Sunday School teacher, you might learn something from the children that will make you a better person of science!

As long as you love being patronized in return, my child, I see nothing necessarily wrong with it.
On the other hand, it is a degradation from normal adult conversation, a form of insult, a mocking (now there’s a word I seem to recall...) and therefore usually counterproductive, to be avoided, when possible.
So I try my best never to be the first to use such talk.

As for your now repeated suggestion, I’ve never felt a desire to teach children, only adults whose postings appear er, ahem... mis - educated and confused. .. ;-)
