Kids

Prompt: The Daily Topic: "Why are kids different? List five things kids do that adults usually do not. Then, work as many items from your list into a piece of writing."

5 things which kids do and adults don't:

Kids jump from one place to the next
Make things messy while eating
Make a mess while drawing, painting, spoiling sofas and sheets
Kids scream and screech and fight with each other while playing
Kids are very stubborn - When they want something, they want it right then, cannot wait

My daughter who is two years old firmly believes in colouring and drawing all over the house, especially on the sofa and bed sheets, but leaves the drawing book neat and clean. Though she begins to colour on the drawing book; as soon as I am out of the room, she immediately moves to places she shouldn’t. Our walls and sofas have been cleaned a 1000 times by now. She is also very stubborn. When she wants something, especially something to eat, she wants it right then. If I ask her to wait, she simply doesn’t, making me leave all my present work and attending to her first. But all kids have a similar nature. My daughter’s friends’ too are extremely stubborn. Though they all play together, screaming and fighting is a regular affair. Sometimes it gets difficult to control them.

Adults are usually different. They are not expected to do such tasks. After all, we are the ones who have to show the right path to our kids and set an example.
