What an incredibly "out of the box" idea we have here.

You're applying sarcasm to the idea of a ten year old?

Sorry, I don't want to sound mean, but

But you do sound mean. Since you don't want to, why don't you edit the meanness out of your comment? It would be easy. Though you might want to do it twice to be sure.

As a bonus, your point would then come across better.

I don't see it as an an insult to the ten year old; it's an insult to all the people pretending it's a unique idea because of that.
