Parents who are significantly less intelligent than their young children

Was getting gas at Costco just now and I heard an exchange.

There was a very beaten-down beta male dad with his wife and two young children. The dad gets out to pump gas and then the mom starts yelling at all the kids to get out.

The reason they had to get out? She would not allow them to stay in the vehicle while gas was being pumped.

One of the younger boys says, "why do we have to get out of the vehicle while he pumps gas?"

The mom says because it's dangerous.

The kid, displaying way more intelligence than his mother, says, "that doesn't make any sense."

Now, I realize she was probably concerned about the car exploding, but the chances of that happening vs her kids getting run over because she forced them into a parking lot are questionable.

In short, props to you little man, for refusing to take the foolish advice of an unruly woman at face value.
