    • The exaggerated but not very enthusiastic “Woah, you scared me!” when a little kid says, “Boo!”

      As a former little kid, we always knew you weren’t actually scared, but we liked messing with you

      Going along with child’s play is such an important skill. It doesn’t always come naturally, but with a bit of practice, it gets easier

        I’m never going to be a parent and I can only tolerate kids in small doses, but I do know that if a small child hands you something even remotely phone-like, you answer that shit.

          Exactly! Whether you plan to have children or not, whether you even like them or not, just going along with their games doesn’t hurt you, but it makes them happier.

          They didn’t ask to be born into this world, so now that they’re here, they deserve the best childhood possible and that doesn’t mean expensive toys, it means positive and wholesome interactions with the people around them.

            You took the words right from my mouth! I didn’t have the best childhood and it’s left me pretty jaded. I hope all kids get to have what I didn’t
