If you need proof, just look at the picture of my "cousin" Leo.
(He's being used as a foot rest!)
But, it also has it's rewards.
For instance, children will give you things to eat that adults never will!
BUBBLE GUM - This is IMPOSSIBLE to eat! You're still hungry after all that chewing!
VEGETABLES - If THEY don't like them why should YOU?
CRAYONS - These LOOK interesting but they're tasteless! Regurgitate immediately!
the ham, cheese, turkey, or tuna fish!)
usually tasty tongue pleasers!
else to blame if anything gets broken!

Most importantly, after they have outgrown the "ear biting, tail pulling stage" -
THEY ALWAYS HAVE TIME FOR YOU -
since they don't have to bother with such mundane chores
as cooking, cleaning, or laundry.
On the negative side, kids can be rough at times.
Hey, they can be downright MEAN!
But please remember this.
NEVER use teeth or claws in retaliation for pulled ears or tail!
This will most assuredly get you in big trouble!
It's like the "dog teasing scenario" except in this case you're the bad guy!
(Just keep reminding yourself that the abuse is only temporary.)
REMEMBER - Every child eventually grows up and usually becomes your best friend!
Especially girls - girls just LOVE cats - so be patient.
