Little kids are wonderful, messy and chaotic all rolled into one cute tiny human. If you spend a lot of time with these tiny little humans, you learn a lot about them. Each kid is different, but they all have a few things in common.
1. Little kids somehow manage to always be messy.
It doesn’t matter what they are doing, kids always seem to make a mess. Whether they are eating, coloring or playing outside, they always seem to need a bath!
2. They ask tons of questions.
As a little kid I was the worst; I questioned everything. But the question asking trait is very common among young kids. Kids want to know everything and since they are still learning about the world, they ask about nearly everything.
3. Kids are sponges.
It is awesome to watch them learn new things every day, and the younger they are the more you can witness their little minds at work. As an adult around kiddos, you have to be super cautious about what you say and do. Kids mimic the grown-ups in their lives and take in everything you say or do.
4. They are hilarious!
Kids have no filter so they say whatever comes to mind. Sometimes they say the absolute funniest things. My parents used to write down the funny things we said as kids, and we still crack up reading them so many years later!
5. Kids throwing tantrums are not so different from drunken females.
When kids are tired and crabby, they can absolutely melt down into a screaming, crying and hysterical mess. They often cannot be consoled. They want their moms, they want their drinks... the list goes on and on. I have observed drunken girls behaving in the same way. They get to a point where they are crying, want to talk to their moms, and want their drinks.
6. They have a sweet innocence about them.
These tiny humans have yet to experience the cruelties of the world. They have fresh young minds, they don’t have any kind of biases, they aren’t prejudiced and they are everything that the adults of the world need to be, especially now.
Kids are fantastic and we could all take some lessons from them. They may be messy, they don’t always have it all together and they can ask a lot of questions, but they are a joy to be around and can teach us adults a thing or two.
