The Christianville Spirit: Why We Have Children

The Christianville Spirit

The Spirit that Sparks Your Heart

You Know, Those moments that drive you crazy?, like on an airplane and you have Babies surrounding you crying. Yea, you’ve been there and so has everyone else. Of Course, The Mother’s not doing anything to help (and, believe me there are ways to help, without kicking them off the plane). Anyway, you have so much frustration that you ask, “Why do We (or They) have Children?!?”. Now, I know some of you are thinking, “Christian, Why would you think of asking an absurd question like that?”. Well, because it actually has meaning to it. Now, of course being a child myself, I can tell you that their are some people who don’t like children and some that would rather have their animals as their children because as those people  say, “their easier to take care of”. Now, I’m going to focus on not the part of having children but, the part of what they bring to us. So, here’s my list on the epic question, “Why do we have Children?”

• They teach us that It is okay to cry to something
• They bring us the lighter and cuter side of Halloween as opposed the scary side with Adults
• They tell us that it’s okay to release your imagination without ridicule
• Their Smiles around The Holiday Season; anxiously awaiting Santa Claus to come, brings us, what we call “Christmas Spirit” and they know all about it.
• They let us adults become kids sometimes. Now, of course doing it all the time make you look immature or weird. But, it’s okay to do it every once in a while  
• They teach us to slow down a bit and stop and “Smell The Roses”. Meaning stop and enjoy what is in front of you
• They’ll let you join them to watch their shows like “Spongebob Squarepants” and laugh along with it
• and, Finally, it’s okay to go see a Disney Movie because it’ll teach both you and them about the finer things in life.

You Know, when I was growing up; now that I think about it. Whenever I’d watch a show like Rugrats on Nickelodeon, how they would interpret Adults was as Boring Business People and they ran all over the place in Rush of Life. Well, I guess that’s a big reason why we have children, to slow us down. All in All, the next time, “The Airplane Baby” episode happens, remember those those things and if all else, figure out a way to help them without frustrating the poor mother.

Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Enjoy the Children that you have. You can both learn from each other.
