On top of that, they just make life fun.

Yesterday my little girl was dancing and singing with no music and just a big smile. I asked what she was so happy about. "I dunno" was her response and then back to singing, dancing and smiling. Who the f' wants to miss that?

Reminds me of this quote from Knocked Up, talking about kids and bubbles

Ben: "They seem to love bubbles."

Pete: "Oh, god, they go ape shit over bubbles."

Ben: "They're really going ape shit."

Pete: "I mean, that's an incredible thing about a child. I mean, what's so great about bubbles?"

Ben: "They float. You can pop them. I mean, I get it. I get it."

Pete: I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles.

Ben : That's sad.

Pete: Totally sad. Their smiling faces just point out your inability to enjoy anything.

Just that life is much more simple when you're a kid. Just about anything can bring you joy. That's pretty damn cool.
