Geez, dude!

Lately, I've been haunted by an event that occurred on a Friday night some months ago. I was sitting on a chair, and a little kid and his cousin sat next to me...
Now, I knew the kid from at least a month before so we weren't strangers to each other so he decided to show me a song with his little guitar. After he finished, he exclaimed, "How did I do?!"
I said, "Really good," with a pretty monotonous voice.
Then his cousin said, "Geez, dude! He's five!"
"And..."

So GFF, which of you is the actor for the children, and which is not? See, I just can't make myself excited with the little kids. I'm pretty sure I'm like that with everyone, actually, except babies. Peek-a-boo. Peek-a-boo!
Babies are just so cute. But when it comes to the little kids, it's always, "That was cool," or "Nice job."
It's like I don't care, which may or may not be the case.

Your turn!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't play with kids in the typical manner, either. I like to talk to them like adults, and give them small responsibilities of adults. I think in the end, it helps them form a stronger and more dependent sense of self.

That and I am really incapable of acting for a child.

Most kids seem to appreciate it. I'm not patting myself on the back for this: I am a child magnet. I don't even like children that much, so it's more an annoyance to me than anything. No matter whose child it is, they'll always gravitate towards me and chill with me. It's not like I give them things either. Maybe they just like to feel included.

((This is especially difficult when a certain child knows that you have a million Marvel cards in a box hidden away, and wants to talk to you non-stop about super heroes ;_; ))

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll usually become quite childish when there are children around that I know. However, to me it isn't acting as I just seem to very easily return into childhood, and I find that their sense of amazement at the world is quite envigorating. Two examples I can think of:

1. Any time my Nephew is around, we'll start wrestling (or playing ding-ding, as he calls it ) or doing whatever it is that he's into at the moment.

2. My girlfriend has a cousin who's about ten years old, but she's very energetic and she likes to laugh and run around, and that's basically what we'll do whenever we see each other.

Granted, when I'm quite tired, I may not be as disposed towards doing those things, but in general I'm lively enough to have a little fun with them, and I don't have to force myself to do it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm terrible with children. Conversationally I tend to talk to them as I would to my friends (minus the swearing and flagrant sexual innuendos), but mostly I don't even get a chance to do that since kids are generally scared of me. I've actually gained the title "The Mighty Repulsor" since children either burst into tears or run away upon seeing my terrible visage. I don't mind; I hate kids.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Children are not supposed to be underestimated. Behind that cute and innocent facade lies a brutal and devious individual capable of planning and scheming things and influencing those around him to act according to his desires.

No, I don't act for children. They know if they suck, and they're just coercing you to say something good and make you look stupid.

I will not lose this game, you little shits.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I am not a fan of children. In fact I once kicked one in public. It should come as no surprise that I don't put up any sort of bullshit child speak or patronizing nonsense with them. If I am forced to deal with a child, they'll get spoken to like anybody else.

I haven't been exposed to any good kids aside from those asian kids or those amish kids at the store. I'm terrible with children in fact, my hearing does not cover high pitched voices. So I ended up feeling very alienated from them and just kinda avoid/ignore them. I had seen my friends/cousins kids that were horrid brats and I refuse to put up with their bullshit. If I had any say or doing, I'd tape those fuckers to the chair and their mouths to keep them shut. I rarely seen any that were tweens though, so I have no idea, I imagine they actually either more mature and a lot more silent for me to not notice.

Silent Hill ghostly children is JUST HOW I picture these kids. "Get the fuck away from me!" :: creepy chirping ::

Fucking propped.

I understand that you're supposed to try to be supportive of children's abilities but lying to them doesn't do them any favors either. I think that giving them a bit of constructive advice on how to improve themselves or their abilities. I always get at least one student that says, "So you don't like it?"

"I DO love it. But you can make it better. There's no such thing as perfect but, dang it, we've gotta try."

Children these days are pampered and spoiled and so well off that they fail to learn the basic concepts of survival. Skills that should be developed by the child in their growing years.

Cripes, kids fucking love me. Maybe it's my ability to do voices... My uncle has three little girls, the oldest being about 8, then 5 and 3 for the following kiddos. Whenever they visit and I'm around (Xmas, Thanksgiving, sometimes Easter. Family gathering times), the kids pretty much shackle themselves to me and I'm left as the baby sitter. I'll let them do whatever, and I seem to have a pretty good patience with 'em.

I haven't had to personally deal with a really hellish little shit, so I dunno how I'd handle it. All the kiddos that I've had to take care of were typically rather disciplined.

I'll encourage them and stuff. If you say "dude, that sucked" to a five year old playing the piano, you'll probably hurt their feelings and they might actually shy away from that a bit. Kids are pretty impressionable, in all honesty. Despite this viewpoint, I am against sheltering of children. My parents didn't shelter me, and thanks to that, I went through college, kept myself in-check, and jumped right in to being self-sustaining like it was nothing.

I've noticed some of the relatives in my family are rather short-fused around children (ie: my grandfather that isn't related to me by blood. He fucking hates those three little girls that I mentioned earlier. HATES them), but I seem to be able to tolerate them.

In all honesty, I noticed that I'm short-fused around stupid animals. I had to look after two dogs the other day, and both were miniature collie breed dogs (I forget the name). Anyhow, they were little yapper dogs that felt like yapping every five seconds. I cannot stress how ANGRY I was with those fucking things. But I can tolerate three loud little girls for several hours, and all I get is kinda tired.

I fucking hate kids. I can't stand the little shits, but I tolerate them when I have to be around them.

As for how I talk to them, I don't really talk to them as an adult, but there's no way in hell I'm dumbing myself down to their level, so I'm kinda somewhere in the middle. I basically give them straight answers but, in terms they understand. I also let them get away with being stupid, which most kids are these days. The thing about me is that aside from my immediate family, I can't really be mean to anyone, so while I'd like to tell kids to fuck off every time they talk to me, there's no way I'd actually be able to do this.

The most recent example of this is when some of my family (aunts and cousins and stuff) came down to visit. Being that I'm the "cool cousin with all the games", they naturally gravitated around me and my room the whole time they were here. Of course I'd rather not see them at all, but that was pretty impossible due to my inability to be mean. So I sat there, letting them play all my games (they seriously raped my Rock Band drum set, but I couldn't tell them to stop) and enduring all their inane questions (including the question "Am I asking too many questions?"). If there was ever a time I wanted to kill myself, it was then.

So yeah, kids, not my thing.

Like Sass, I deliberately treat kids like miniature-adults, and because of it, they're drawn to me. I'm not mean to them, I don't go out of my way to be cruel. I set boundaries, I allow them to be kids, and I expect them to be able to know when fucking around is fine and when it isn't. I have clutch of little cousins who call me uncle, and a few of the girls have convinced their parents that a few times a month I have to come pick them up and take them for lunch. I actually enjoy it, because when you get to a place with kids where they aren't acting up, and they're just having a conversation, they can completely blow your mind with their way they think. Child logic is just so different from ours, and if you can get a kid in a one on one situation where they're striving to be all grown up, they can be incredibly fucking interesting.

And, as you may guess, I've become that older relative who picks on them but manages to be the favourite. Kids just like you to pay attention to them, and if you set solid ground rules as to what will get them positive attention, they'll behave. It's just like raising a dog, only instead of licking your face they play video games. It's not bad.

Smaller objects are more easily swayed by gravitational forces than larger ones. This has nothing to do with magnetism.

How I interact with a child has a lot of determining factors. I dont really have any young children I see regularly, so most kids I see are with their families in the the restaurant where I work.

If the child is small, 5 or younger, and is well behaved, I tend to tone it down a lot, especially when I'm working. I'll give a 'Hey Cutie, how are you?' and go along with their stories while they babble about this and that.

Older, well-behaved kids are treated like mini-adults. I ask them (not their parents) what they would like off the menu, and get rather disappointed if their parents change it on them.

Kids that behave badly...? Well, I just dont have the patience for them. I've resisted calling many kids a 'little shit', and simply ignore them, or eye their parents until they get the idea and shut the kid up. To me, screaming babies are considered the best birth control EVER. I'm not currently a fan of the idea of having children... as it is, the only reason I believe I can tolerate them is because I know that I can always just send them back to their parents.
