Geez, dude!

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 ;_; ))

Jam it back in, in the dark.
