- They’re skinny, can fit into places that we couldn't. Good for thieving.
— CharlieBoxCutter - Being truly in the moment, without thinking about the past or future, just 100% into their present task.
— InannasPocket - jumping from higher heights. Those little bastards perform the tuck and roll to a tee
— effthedab - Giving an opinion with absolutely zero fucking filter
— BlakusDingus - Sweeping under the machines in 19th century coal factories.
— mackiam - 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.
— Portarossa - 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
— shit_banana - They tell very interesting stories about things that aren't really that interesting.
— Outrageous_Claims - Getting their hands inside that God damn Pringles can.
— Evan8r - 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.
— FusRoDoodles - 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.
