#43: The important things
With all their nonsense, kids can be very mature. They pick up on things and they’re quick learners, and sometimes it amazes us to see how wise and perceptive they are. They can surprise us with the things they know and the things they say, and it sometimes seem like they’re smarter than all of us, and they have life figured out.

Take this kid, for example. His Christmas list for Santa starts off pretty normal, with Lego sets and other toys, and then he gets to the GTA – only he writes “I just want to play with cars” – he doesn’t care about the PG 13 part of the game. And then he asks for a blue suit with a red jacket – what’s up with that? He’s probably inspired by some people he’s seen on TV (not to name any names).
