    Kids are way cooler than most adults I know. At least those past the age of screaming to be fed. They’re willing to listen and learn. They’re excited about everything. You can fix a kid’s bad mood by making a funny face. Fucking adults are the ones out there screwing everything up (including kids.)

      That’s true, some kids are very cool to hang out with. They’re just people, after all, and everyone is different. Children of course are very much a reflection of their environment, with a few exceptions.

      I guess what I object to is people who think the only reason they exist is to reproduce, and that somehow it’s extremely virtuous, like they’re doing the world a favor. What’s the point of living only to have children? That’s what a virus or something does. There needs to be something more interesting about a person, more going on than ‘I reproduced’.

      @Underwaterbob @Zeppo it also applies to kids-at-heart, where we can be easily distracted.

      Stick me in a room with Wolfblood (a supernatural CBBC drama show) on and i’ll be watching it until the end, roughly 28 hours later.

        I’m similar with a good book. Though I’ve definitely never quite gone 28 hours. At least not for a couple of decades now.
