Hi-5 syndrome

i have random thoughts here so brace yourself...
:D

so holly always says she hates children and i keep trying to convince her that she doesen't hate children she just hates the way children are programmed to be

the amazing part of children is the huge part inside them that is as yet unpolluted by adults

for example...
we saw this college guy bend over to say hi to these wto little boys
the whole process was sickening to observe-

1- they look up at him smiling, waiting to be affirmed
2- he looks down at them
3- puts out his hand for them to "hi-5"
4-the kids slap his hands
5- he hugs them and goes "yeaah!" in a growly voice


so
what have the kids learned

in order to feel worth anything they have to do something, and usually something stupid
then they keep this mentality always feeling like they have to do something to be worth anything to others...
