emotion: upset
Klifton
Children experience the world with such intensity. Theirs is a Shakespearian world, full of fierce emotion; passionate drama, high comedy, absolute terror and all-consuming joy. It is a world comprised of equal parts of bright skies filled with fireworks and dark, demon-haunted shadows.
Every meal is a feast…or torture so malevolent that Torquemada would quail at the idea of it. The consumption of a single green bean can become a contest that would put the three hundred Spartans to shame. Every trip is an adventure…or a soul-crushing burden. A trip to the Dollar Store is more exciting than any museum. Every minor disappointment is a disaster equal to an Earth-killing comet and every small success is an event worthy of a complete Roman triumph.
It must be exhausting to be a child. It’s no wonder they need to nap so often, and no wonder why they resist those naps; they might miss something.
