Kids are dull so dull SO DULL.

It's not their fault. It's not personal. They've never done anything, they've had no experiences, their tastes are bland and repetitive because of their physical state and their limited experience, of course they're dull and uninteresting.

It's not their fault, but it's still the case. And they're not even like dull adults whom you can choose not to interact with (and even adults are often dull in a different way - some of them are hyper focused on something so niche that in that regard, in that niche, I'M the child with no experience and no understanding). Children seem to suck up so much of people's time and energy.

There was a post some time in which someone talked about how their small child got into MineCraft. Great, thought he. We can do this together. So they did. Building the exact same building every night, no deviations, just repetition. I suppose it's a more modern version of having to read the exact same storybook every night.



Other people’s kids can be dull. I can empathize with that...

But my own kid, despite statistically being just like all the kids and could be considered just as dull, is most certainly not dull to me.


Yeah, does that not seem odd? Sure seems like a very suspicious coincidence.

Whatever is doing that to you is a blessing, I suspect, because there are parents out there who do not have that. What must their lives be like?
