Stealing Kids

This past week, it feels like I've been surrounded by little kids left and right (so when I refer to little kids, I mean just weeks born infants to kindergarteners). Just seeing someone hold a little baby looks so cute (minus the whole pooping and feeding thing) and fun! Today when I was walking to the office, there were these kindergarteners playing outside and they're just so tiny (compared the the 4th/5th graders I'm used to seeing). Maybe it's the scorching heat which is leaving weird thoughts in my head - but how great would it be to steal one of those kids? A cute one (of course)!

I then think about what happens when they start growing. Are kids considered cute at the age of 9-10 now? I'm thinking of my group of kids, I can't imagine myself saying they're cute, like how little kids are cute. But they sure are entertaining to talk to, especially the group of 5th grade boys who tell me all their stories they failed to tell me when I was still their teacher last year when we went on our Sacramento overnight field trip.

And what about the age when they're in middle school and it's probably not considered "cool" to be talking to an adult when it's not necessary? So, is it really worth it to steal a kid? Maybe I should just fly to Neverland and keep them at a certain age so they'll never have to grow up, and possibly learn to fly as well.

Around end of high school to college years is also a pretty cool age as well. They're finally slowly trying to find adulthood and have all these ideas and theories on what it's like. Little do they know, it's nothing like what it's like in the movies.

Back to my original post, I would want a kid. It seems so fun... but I guess for the time being, I'll stick to being with Ms. Piggy (the world's most unloyal dog) and playing with her when no one else is home.
