A 10 Year Old ADULT

Kids, of other ages, I just enjoy watching the 10 year old kids, boys and girls. They are cuter than angels. At this age, a boy is hardly different from a girl, almost. They sounded the same too while girls can be slighty bigger, chubbier than the boys. Here's what I observed about them:

jovial
cheerful
keen to learn
keen to help
keen to try
keen to be the winner
energetic
wakes up early
doesn't care if having to walk to school
learns fast
picks up different language easily
good memorizer
enjoy memorising
read out loud when reading
hot sun doesn't bother them
rain? It's fun to play in...
walks fast, literally running and jumping
honest
laughs at almost any joke
enjoys competetion
not a good liar, you can immediately tell
doesn't want to nap
sleep early
report if anyone cheats
knows what to do at what time, at least for the 3 basic activities
enjoys taking the garbage out
thinks that doing cleaning job is a job of honour, at least looks like
report bad things to you
when you praise them, they work even harder
angers never last long
tears quickly gone
laughs all day
quick to apologise
quick to admit their wrong-doing
holds strong to the principles you taught them
kisses our hands when we shake their hands
kisses their teachers' hands (Well...)
don't hate anyone
want to make friend to almost everyone
tolerate moody elders well, just complaint that a person is grumpy and game's over!
respects elders like crazy
never stop talking
enjoy cheering and clapping hands
never burden you, the father or the mother
thinks about their parents a lot
keen to cook dinner for you
asks for money only when needed
keen to take responsibility
as if he/she is good at any sports he/tried
never give up
a 100m race, runs as fast as he/she can, even if he/she is the behind most.
not shy
not lazy
to do bad things, doesn't quite come across their minds
hate the smell of ciggarette
keen to save the environment, better environment lover than adults
love animals a lot
anything you cook them, it's marvellous, dad!
can even take an insect as a pet
value life, hate to see animals killed or brutalized
wanted to win the Nobel Prize
wanted to get you a better car and a bigger house when grow up
hates obscenities
a great actor/singer/dancer

Imagine like you are all the above, at this age?
Well, this is a pretty long list already. You may ignore the ones that you think should not be on the list or you can choose to observe the kids again to see if they are true. I just can't help thinking, who is a better person? Us or them?
That 'perfect person' is at your house, why look far? You just don't need to outgrow the kid inside you.
