... psychologists and neuroscientists ... found that sarcasm requires the brain to jump through numerous hoops to arrive at a correct interpretation, requiring more brainpower than literal statements. And although it's often dismissed as juvenile snark, sarcasm is actually evidence of maturity – as it takes years for a child's developing brain to fully grasp and master it.

I'll sleep better knowing that my 9 year old is growing up to be an intelligent being and not just a little a little shit to me and her mom.
