that's funny, but trying to answer a kid's questions is both humbling and educational. they ask about things you take for granted, and even as an inquisitive person you might accept some things "just are" without thinking about them until a kid asks you what that's all about.
sometimes you know the answer and it's satisfying.
sometimes you don't and thanks to technology now you can research it together in a way maybe you couldn't when you were a kid and once wondered about it but never learned and maybe you forgot to ask again later.
sometimes you think you know but once you try to explain it you realize that there's lots of holes in your understanding.
sometimes they just tell you something you didn't know because they watch educational kids shows and no one told you that sloths are pretty impressive swimmers.
there's a monologue by a character called Eve in the Love Death and Robots episode Pop Squad that lives rent free in my head. if you're not gonna watch it:
Yes, but why?
And sometimes kids aren't interested in the answers, they just want to annoy you.
I'm not that cynical about little kids. Maybe they sometimes do things that annoy you because they find it funny, not because it's specifically annoying. Surely not annoying to them anyway. idk I find it weird to ascribe malice to a 3-5 year old. in any case, I'm a big guy, I can handle a little kid even if they want to annoy me.
It's not cynical. I have three of them and that's just the truth. Sometimes they enjoy being annoying. It's all normal and good... but it's still annoying.
