It’s confusing! But honestly, I suppose it’s all just to make me a better person. They just give you the “I’m-older-than-you-so-you-better-listen-to-me” look. It’s natural: imagine someone starts acting like a beaver and commands you to do beaver stuff with them, but they don’t tell you why. You are screaming your head off why would that be funny to me?” And another thing: when grownups do something outrageous they don’t seem to realize that children are going to question them. I can never tell when they’re being sarcastic so when they say something like, “You think this is funny, do ya?!” I want to say “No! I don’t think this is funny. Like, do you want me to shut my mouth or open it? Be CLEAR, please. They say, “Don’t talk back!” But they also say, “Why are you being so quiet?” It’s kinda confusing. What I don’t like about grownups is that sometimes, they act as if they know everything. They look out for me and care about my interests and needs, even if they may be sucking me into the vortex of expectations. I think adults are reliable and trustworthy, most of the time. Don’t you remember? Please! Just come back to me!īy: Durga Kalantre, Age 11, California, USAĭescription: Do you ever question why adults say the things they do?

You were like my friend behind the scenes. But what will that accomplish? Without the hero, I have no purpose! I’ll end up working at the local coffee shop and turning cake pops into stone! Is there a way to reverse this? I can’t live without you! I’m useless now! (Begging) Please! Come back to me! I need you! Don’t do this! I… loved you like a sister. (looking at herself in the mirror) Or maybe they’ll ask for a selfie with the villain. I’ve defeated the hero…what’s my purpose now? I’m not just gonna turn random civilians into stone for no reason! That’s no fun! I want you to come after me! Like old times! And chase me away! I know some random people are gonna come up to me and say, “Please, Stone Goddess! Don’t turn me into stone!” And I’ll do it anyway. Yes! I’ve done it! I’ve defeated the hero! Wait. And you want to scream at the top of your lungs, “I’m free!” But we both know that we can’t do that.ĭescription: A villain realizes she is nothing without the hero and useless without a battle. Drenching you with tears. Then finally, after what feels like an hour, they let go. They refuse to let go, and in that moment, it feels like an endless raincloud is hanging over you. But it’s hard because the kids cling on to you like snotty little sloths. And when it’s time to say goodbye, you try to contain your excitement. They can scream for two minutes straight, without taking a breath. And then they charm you with their cute little personalities. But it’s all a big con! They put on a smile to trick you into watching them. Who knew that two-year-olds knew so many words? And who knew that much poo could fit in something so tiny? Yes, they’re cute at first. Until you experience the terrible twos. Everyone says, “Oh, it can’t be that hard.” Sure. “Do you babysit?” you ask. “Is it fun?” you ask. No.

Description: A teenager explains their babysitting troubles.
