Picking on Kids

I don’t hate kids and I don’t think they’re stupid, they just don’t know very much. So my message to the children who put up this sign up in their classroom, life isn’t fair:

It was hung in a preschool-looking classroom at a YMCA that is used as a practice space by adults at night. I guess full-grown adults like to mess with kids stuff, which is obviously unbecoming.

While, “life isn’t fair”, is the first thing that came to mind, I realized there is something much more deep to this. A level of honesty that can only come from the naïvety of a child. The idea of working “super hard” and having someone come along to “mess it up” and realizing how “unfair” that is. It kind of makes me tear up, such is life.
