i feel like there’s not enough kid characters in media that don’t sass the adult in their life as 95% of their interactions. like there are so many other personalities that kids could have that isn’t borderline them hating on the adult every interaction bc honestly that is a small % of kids that act like that

like let me see the adult character who begrudgingly adopts a child trope but the kid literally is as gruff and tired as they are. another person comes in and sees the two sitting on the porch in the morning, adult with a coffee and morning paper, the kid with orange juice and a coloring page and they’re just silent.

or same trope but the kid is hyperactive and doesn’t understand sarcasm so the gruff adult says something sarcastic and then freaks out because the kid starts crying then once comforted they climb up a boulder and jumps off without warning the adult and the adult is just Stressed Always. they possibly get a leash backpack because some kids need it

or a kid character who is just obsessed with their mother. media doesn’t portray this ever but like 80% of kids i’ve taught LOVE their ma. have the 3rd graders talk about how much they love their moms cooking and then go into detail about all the food their mom makes and how she lets them help her

like kids have wildly different personalities and it’s rare you have a kid that can even understand sarcasm at earlier ages and much less that have the desire to literally hate on the adult they love 24/7. Also, with kids that do love to have playfully mean sarcasm, the moment the adult actually shows that they don’t like that they stop (if they love and trust the adult obv). but like they only give it if the adult can dish it out too

i just am kind of tired of the adult and rude comedic relief kid character tbh like give me something else

My 11-year-old couldn't decide what flavor of ramen to make, so I told her to flip a coin. Heads for spicy chicken, tails for beef.

Taking my advice, she flipped a penny, and when it landed on tails she said "Wait! Wait! I did it wrong!"

I told her that she did it right, because the real reason for flipping a coin isn't to let fate decide for you, but because when the coin is in the air, you will suddenly realize what you wanted in the first place.

I'm sure there's a life lesson there somewhere���

But honestly, I have never known her to pass up spicy chicken.

If we're fortunate, our legacy won't simply be children who carry our name and bloodline. No, I pray our legacy will be so much more. May it live in the ripples of every act of kindness they choose because we sent them into the world armed with the courage of a lion and the heart of a servant.
