I don't like people who make jokes about children. We're people too. Why do
adults always tell stories about us that make us look dumb and annoying?

This is just what I mean. You think kids are mean and a little dumb, and
also that we can't talk right and just like to cause trouble. This is very
insulting.

Please do not make such biased statements in the future. You may think
it's funny, but most kids don't.
