When you think of a two-year-old, you might picture a toddler that sings nursery rhymes and is learning the basics like shapes and colors. It’s not too often you hear about a child this age that’s able to do something the majority of adults can’t.
Ellen invited a little tyke onto her show named Harry, and at two-years-old, he’s the youngest genius she’s ever had on stage. While he seems like just your typical fun-loving tot, he can actually blow people away with his amazing knowledge.
Harry Pile traveled with his parents all the way from Liverpool, England to be a guest on Ellen’s talk show.
From the time they sat down, it was obvious the boy was excited and seemed to behave no differently than any other two-year-old. But then the conversation turned to Harry’s incredible intelligence.
Ellen asked:
“When did you notice that there was something going on with him? Did I read this right, he was 12-months-old and knew the alphabet?”
That wasn’t even all he could do.
While some kids are more advanced than others, you sure don’t run into a lot of babies that have the alphabet down at one-years-old.
Harry’s mom Shelly explained:
“Yeah, so when he was first born we noticed that his eyes looked really big, and we joked that he looked shocked. So from then I’d say about 12-months he started to be able to identify the alphabet, he could spell his name, he could read his name. 18-months he could identify shapes.”
There’s a special talent Harry has that is very rare indeed. He can actually identify every flag in the entire world.
To help Harry show off his skills, The Ellen Show prepared a stack of cards with pictures of various flags from countries across the globe. One by one the host held up a card and the toddler nailed the names.
It’s very jaw-dropping to see Harry call out country names like Maylasia, Cyprus, Russia, Indonesia, and Vatican City. Talk about having a good memory and being one smart cookie!
As a parent, it’s important to always keep your child learning. Harry’s parents decided to keep challenging their son and work with him on identifying logos from around the world.
But as we know, sometimes the best ideas can have funny results too. The toddler’s dad, Steve, shared a comical story with everyone.
“He loves logos, absolutely loves them. So I bought him a logo book of all the corporations globally. And we were going through, I think we were on the page 300, and we got to the Playboy logo.”
Before Steve could even finish, something hilarious happened on stage as well. In response to his dad, Harry threw up his hands and yelled, “Playboy!”
The end of the story had the audience cracking up.
Steve continued:
“So I looked at it, Ellen, and I thought to myself reluctantly. He said, ‘Daddy, what’s this?’ And I went, shall I just skip the page? But you can’t do that with Harry. So I said, ‘It’s the Playboy logo’ … And he goes around telling everyone he loves Playboy.”
Fortunately, Harry’s logo identification skills go beyond the Playboy bunny. Ellen had a stack of cards to quiz the two-year-old, and he successfully called off logos like Netflix, Porsche, and Pixar.
Harry eventually reached the Disneyland logo and that’s when the host revealed a little surprise from up her sleeve…
Watch the video below to see how adorable and brilliant Harry is for yourself. Surely he’s going to love Ellen’s gift!
