Once upon a time, a friend asked me:
"Someone said – everyone have a kid in their mind, have you? If you have a kid in your mind, what is he like?"
I mulled over for a while, and answered:
"I think there is a kid in my mind. When he comes to act, even a boring man like me will become a little bit naughty, like to laugh and make the other laugh. But the kid in my mind doesn’t like many people, he only comes out when there is a small group of friends and there are someone I like or love"
I would also like to ask the other members:
"Do you have a kid in your mind? If yes, what is he/she like?"
Hi Andrew
The kid in my mind is a Dreamer……….dreaming of flying like a bird, soaring at great heights without a care in the world.
This kid dreamer dreams of impossible/possible things to accomplish and if it happens, cool, if not, life goes on.
Hi Kid dreamer,
You make me remember an old song from The Everly Brother – “All I have to do is dream”
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
I always have a SHC lady in my dream, and want to sing songs for her but…………., May be as you say: “if it happen, cool (should be hot for me), if not, life goes on, haha.
Enjoy the song

See you May in HK
An adult is well past childhood stage. But, he can feign or switch over to childish behaviour and talk childishly to his children or play group kids if he is their teacher. To communicate with children he has no choice but to stoop to their level of understanding.
When a maturing child has a dream to become somebody one day like an engineer, business tycoon, manager, doctor or professor, this is no child’s play. Being focused on reaching a goal by him as he grows into adulthood requires a lot of perseverence and commitment. This is not childishness, but manifestation of early maturity of a child bent on realising his focus on consolidating his worth by struggling in his studies to become a future professional.
It is observed that as humans age in their eighties and nineties, they are actually in their second childhood and childish characteristics somehow begin to emerge. So they behave like baby goats (kids).
If societies the worldover continue to ape American culture through excessive exposure to cinema and American TV, before long the word “child” and “children” can become obsolete and replaced entirely by “baby goat(kid)” and “baby goats(kids)”.
Right now the celebrated British English words “usurer” and “usury” used widely by notable English authors and playwrights from the Shakepearean era have long been replaced by American underworld (gangsterism) slangs like “loan shark” and “loan sharking” first heard during the 1930s when crime was rife in the USA.

Wow, terry, need a lot of time to read and understand your comment, may be I am not up to the level.
After scrutinize your comment, I found that you and me interpret ‘Kid in mind’ differently.
Your 1st paragraph to me is not ‘kid in mind’ but ‘kid in disguise, and some of the people in their eighties and nineties are really become a kid (????, no need to have ‘kid in mid’
When we grow up, our character / behavior will change accordingly with our age and become much different from the time when we were kids
My interpretation of ‘Kid in mind’ is in some moment / environment, we will act differently from our established character / behavior unconsciously.
Take me as an example, My usual behavior is I prefer listen to talk. But with a small group of friend, especially someone I like, I will talk much more than I listen (kid like to talk, and don’t like listen). I do this naturally, not pretending.
It seems that you don’t belief there is ‘Kid in mind’. Will it be a little bit dull if we always behave in a fixed way?
Hi Andrew,
Please don’t bother with what others say so long as clinging to your set of beliefs really makes you self-satisfied and happy. As friends you don’t have to agree with them all the time although you agree some of the time. We give and take occasionally to stay united in the friendship bond. That is the way forward.
Don’t talk about minor/major disagreements between friends, even people within the same family unit beg to differ from time to time, especially between a husband and his wife and between siblings.
Cheers! (Yum Seng!)
Terry
