I live around many kids.<\/p>\n
Some people find children annoying. They’re too loud and rambunctious.<\/p>\n

It’s a grand adventure.<\/p>\n On the other hand, seeing a lonely child is just heart rending. Sometimes kids are cruel and they’ll exclude the socially uncoordinated kid. That was often me.
