The last Wiki reference to the tweet, before it was removed:
“On May 23th 2018 Rebecca published a tweet on Twitter, about a statement that she said her three year old son had made. The quote reade as follows “Everyone dies one day. Everyone. Even wolves. But not books. Not words. Words donยดt die”. The twitter user Jack McGarry quickly responded with a tweeet which went viral and over time became an internet meme. His response was “Oh fuck off Rebecca he did not say that”[^([21])](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rebecca_Hazelton&oldid=1168458498#cite_note-21).
Rebecca later went on to delete her original tweet, but the information had already been distributed around the internet, making this one of the early memes which originated from Twitter.”
A 3 year old is smarter than you? My 3 year old eats flies and pretends to be a tiger. He pointed to his balls in the tub and said “Papa, whats that?”. He’s not smart. If a 3 year old is smarter than you, I think you have serious mental problems.

Son: “Mommy, why won’t you talk to me, or feed me?”
Rebecca: “Because you’re gonna die, son. You’re gonna die. This poetry is the only thing that’s real.”
Dad comes home, feeds starving child, who holds him desperately.
Dad: “So son, how was your day?”
Son: “It was terrible, horrible, the flies are landing on me. Thanks for letting me out of the closet, by the way.”
Dad: “Anything new?”
Son: “Not really. I was hoping someone would name me at some point.”
Dad: “In due time. Have you learned anything today?”
Son: “Everything dies one day. Everyone. Even wolves. But not books. Not words. Words don’t die.”
Father (freeing himself from Son’s clutching hands): I think that’s enough for today. Back in the closet for you.”

it’s not ridiculous for a 3 year old to say that tbh, probably a lot more slurring thou

Of course her story is fake, but I love the “even wolves” part of it. That is such a childlike thing to say.

3 year olds say stuff like this all the time, they just say it amongst a bunch of barely intelligible nonsense. Its like an Infinite Monkeys situation. My daughter was constantly saying faux-wise shit like this, but she also called fairies “those things that are like mermaids but not”.

This is so odd to me. I’ve met Rebecca Hazelton before. She visited my college, did a poetry reading, and led my English class in some creative writing exercises. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and was very encouraging to me as a young writer. This was about two years before this tweet, which was posted in 2018. Now, almost seven years later, every few months this gets reposted and I see hundreds of people insulting her over a kinda dumb tweet from ages ago. At one point I think there was an entire subreddit devoted to insulting her.
Yes, the tweet was dumb, and she got roasted on Twitter that day, as can be expected. But to still be personally insulting her and editing her Wikipedia page years later? This goes for anything on the internet, but please keep in mind that most folks ridiculed on the internet are just ordinary people and do not deserve to be trashed on by first and last name for years. Save that shit for the rich and powerful people who are actively trying to make the world a worse place.

Plot twist: her son’s name is “3”
Regular repost, so not that rare.
Also, the Wikipedia fun police took that down
