Children use all their wiles to get their way with adults. Adults do the same with children.
孩子们使出浑身解数来讨好大人。成年人对孩子也是如此。

One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

I like stirring things up. I'm on the side of the kids more than I am on the adults. And occasionally I find some adults that have that same mischievous streak, so I don't get in too much trouble.
