Heh. Most of the kids in my book were really troubled, or at least from really troubled backgrounds Maybe I'll add a few chapters about "normal" kids, just for...comic relief?

@TheHorse Yes, you could lighten it up a little; but it would still be psychologically related.

@Deepizzaguy I encourage kids to ask questions. And "test" their own "hypotheses."

Kids nowadays are more expressive. It's a good thing as long as they are being brought up in the right way.

I have been asked when am I going to pull a baby out of my tummy by my little friend when he was about 3 or so. I asked him why do you ask that? Mom did that so you should also. I do have a belly I shouldn't be proud of. LOL

They really do grow up fast. Especially when they're young. Three years ago I was checking her diaper for poop. Now she's defeating me in arguments.
