I’m better at talking to kids; they’re little twerps sometimes, but they are so good. I love that they’re always learning, their little minds working over new concepts and growing as they do. It’s easier to be myself around them because they all think I’m an old loser anyway. Plus, I don’t need kids to think I’m cool, I need them to trust me and know that I’m trying to help them learn and that I’m a safe person they can talk to if they need to. They don’t need to be embarrassed around me because I do my best to be as embarrassing as possible around them.
