“When I was a little boy, I thought when I grew up I would talk Yiddish. I thought little kids talked English, but when they became adults, they would talk Yiddish like the adults did. There would be no reason to talk English anymore, because we would have made it.” LittlesMadeReasonWould BeKidsBoysGrewGrew UpAdultsMade ItNo ReasonLittle KidLittle BoysYiddish Author:Mel Brooks
“Take a bunch of little kids to the beach and they all make art. Adults are too stupid to call it art, but it is art. They'll use their imaginations, make drama, make up characters, make pictures in the sand, they'll make up songs that no one's ever heard before. All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.” ThinkingLittlesArtCharacterUseKidsSchoolSongImaginationCreativeHeardStupidDramaAdultsBunchBeachSandLittle Kid Author:Buffy Sainte-Marie

“People just like the thrill of anything. Dangerous things and dark things are exciting. Like as a kid, I knew I wasn't going to get killed if I went into the Haunted House but you kind of feel like you are. And when it comes out the track the other side, it's like, "we're still alive"! And I find it really funny when adults get really scared because I've not been really scared since I saw Jaws when I was a little kid. I just think people like the thrill of it, they like to feel like they accomplished something, that they survived the movie.” PeopleIfsThinkingFeelsKindLittlesStillsKidsHouseSidesDarkSawsAliveDangerousLike YouAdultsExcitingTrackScaredAccomplishedSurvivedThrillLittle KidGet RealDangerous ThingsDark ThingsHaunted Houses Author:Rob Zombie

“We're good at taking care of little kids, and spend a lot of energy teaching them things like how to read. But when kids get as tall as their parents and can look them in the eyes, we tend to drop the ball - at a time they most need a loving consistent community of adults, be it parents, aunts, uncles, or others.” NeedsLooksLittlesEyeCareKidsEnergyParentCommunityTeachingAdultsBallsConsistentTallUnclesLittle KidAunt Author:Laurie Halse Anderson
“If I could've picked a birthday it would've been on Halloween. Yeah, it's always been my favorite holiday. Not because it was my birthday, but actually because, I think it was the freedom, you know? When you were a little kid, you got to go out and be an adult for a couple of hours. You got to, like, just go out with your friends and knock on peoples' doors and be nuts and pull pranks and stuff like that. You could be whoever you wanted to be, you know, I guess that was the appeal to it.” IfsThinkingKnowsLittlesKidsWantedStuffHoursDoorsCoupleAdultsYeahMy FavoriteAppealsIf I CouldHolidayNutsBe YouHalloweenLittle KidMy BirthdayPranks Author:Frank Iero
“I think it's more difficult writing what it's like to be a child. You can pretend you know what it's like, but you don't really know. The only parts I can remember is that the adults were like, "Aren't they cute?" But when you're little you're looking at the other kids like they're your colleagues. They're not like, "Oh, we're all cute little kids." They're more like your office acquaintances. It's very hard to grasp the memories of what it actually was like to be a kid.” ThinkingKnowsWritingChildrenLittlesI CanHardKidsRememberDifficultMemoriesLike YouOfficeAdultsCuteColleaguesLittle KidAcquaintance Author:Tama Janowitz
