Kids are restive and want to know why. Children were never consulted about what they would eat, when was bedtime, what kind of goods the family might buy. Kids are apprentice consumers. Kids are not children, and indeed, never have been. They have power.
Children have none.
Kids have dethroned, not only children, but also their elders. Kids are knowing. Kids know adult secrets. They know about sex and power, they know about fun and money. Children played games, child's play.
