It gets so much worse after that, though. I have no idea why people have children or some people are so incredibly stoked/obsessed with it.
Kids are way cooler than most adults I know. At least those past the age of screaming to be fed. They're willing to listen and learn. They're excited about everything. You can fix a kid's bad mood by making a funny face. Fucking adults are the ones out there screwing everything up (including kids.)
@Underwaterbob @Zeppo it also applies to kids-at-heart, where we can be easily distracted.
Stick me in a room with Wolfblood (a supernatural CBBC drama show) on and i'll be watching it until the end, roughly 28 hours later.
I'm similar with a good book. Though I've definitely never quite gone 28 hours. At least not for a couple of decades now.
