Kids are cool and I hope to have my own some day... Only I have never been a huge fan of other people’s children. If you are on any scale of awkward about children, then this list will make sense to you.
1. When you see a kid walking your way...
You feel your heart rate go up and a slight sense of fear.
2. I had a woman ask me to hold her baby.
I was on a plane ride next to a mother and her 2-year-old. She asked me to hold him while she went to the bathroom. I obviously agreed and held the kid who cried for what felt like an hour. I have to admit he was one cute blonde-haired kid, though.
3. Do you want to babysit?
I make all the excuses possible to not have to watch over a little booger monster.
4. The struggle of making conversation.
I panic a little when I have to make small talk with kids. I mostly ask him or her about favorite TV shows or what he or she did today. Normally, I give them a high five and walk away.
5. When the crying starts.
Kids crying makes me want to join in on their pain.
6. Bratty kids.
The moment I see a kid being disrespectful or throwing a tantrum, I have to work to keep my cool.
7. When kids babble or make up incomplete sentences.
It’s cute and I know they are learning, but when they expect you to answer them back, not that cute. I do not speak minion, so I just nod my head.
8. Trust issues.
I think kids are little magicians or witches: you never know what they might do or get into.
Just a little humor for your day! Kids are awesome, funny and they can grow up to be incredible additions to society.
