Still one of the most interesting things to me: how people who don’t interact with kids frequently/regularly write kids, vs how people who do interact with kids frequently write kids.
Like… people who don’t deal with kids think kids are morons… I’ve also noticed this amongst ageplayers.
It’s the weirdest thing for me, maybe because I don’t remember a lot of my childhood, but like- kids? Kids are smart. Terrifyingly smart. They do dumb shit, yes, but so do I even as a sober adult with a decent credit score. Kids just…have no filter, focus control, or restraint after a certain point.
Kids will happily tell you step by step how to start the car and you have to tell them god no please don’t do that ever, but also will start crying because they want Italian ice out of the freezer but the icees are behind the broccoli and they can’t see past it at first glance so instead of just looking for ten seconds the emotional strain is too much and then you gotta hang out on the couch with them eating Italian ice until they can calm down.
Kids are just wasted.
Children aren’t stupid. They don’t know much, and their thought patterns are weird, but they aren’t stupid. They just haven’t learned much of anything yet and their brains are still working on logic.
