Kids are great. Not for the traditional reasons you hear most people talking about, they're cute, they're innocent, they lack inhibition. No. Kids are great because they need you. They make you feel important. That's right. An adult can get mad at you, I mean furious, and say something like, "That's it, that's the last straw, I'm never talking to you again, ever!" and mean it. An adult could say that to you and leave and walk out of your life forever. Forever! You could never see that person again. But a child could get absolutely furious. They could throw a fall-down fit, cry and scream to no end and declare that they will never talk to you again, ever! But a child needs you. That's the great part about kids. A kid will get furious with you and say something like, "NO! Don't talk to me I'm mad. I'm never talking to you again!" and run and hide away in the corner. But inevitably at some point, maybe ten minutes, maybe an hour later, they'll come to you with dried tears on their face and say..."Can I have a snack?" YES! You've won the battle. Why? Because kids may get mad at you, but they're small and can't reach things up high. They need you!
