What are kids better at doing than adults?

1. They’re skinny, can fit into places that we couldn't. Good for thieving.

2. Being truly in the moment, without thinking about the past or future, just 100% into their present task.

6. Getting hurt. I've watched kids get up and run off playing from falls that would put an adult in the hospital, or at the very least lay them out with a pulled back for a week. They're bouncy little fuckers, for sure. The flipside is that they don't know just how to react to injury. If they see an adult panicking even over a cut or scrape that isn't *that* bad, they're going to freak the fuck out and be quietly convinced they're dying.

7. Being excited about things. I don't think I'm particularly negative or jaded, but seeing how fucking pumped kids get about stuff makes me a little jealous

8. They tell very interesting stories about things that aren't really that interesting.

9. Getting their hands inside that God damn Pringles can.

10. Making friends. A kid can walk right up to another kid and say "let's be friends!", and form a meaningful bond that will last for years. Adults who do that tend to have fairly shallow, short term friendships, in my experience.

11. Enjoying simple things. A kid can entertain themselves for hours with a plastic dinosaur and a hand-me-down Tonka truck, imagining some exciting scenario. At some point when you grow up, the magic goes away and it's just some plastic and metal.
