Why the hell do little kids just stare at you?

You're at the grocery store, in line, minding your own business, and get the great displeasure of being behind "that kid". This kid seriously doesn't give a shit, she is so fucking fascinated with you that she literally does not want to look at anything else for the remainder of the time that she spends in the store. Then you start to wonder about all the possible reason this kid could be staring at you. Is your fly open? Did you step in dog shit? Is there a cum stain on your shirt from when you were recklessly fapping earlier that day? At this point you've probably gone cross-eyed and look completely fucking retarded and the parents are now giving you a weird look. In fact, by the time you leave the store, this little creep probably knows your face better than you yourself ever could and the parents think you're a creepy ass pedophile. I never know what the hell to do, is it even appropriate to say something? Am I supposed to do a trick? What does she want? Seriously, this shit is absolutely creepy and it's guaranteed to happen nearly every time you visit the grocery store.

  1. Probably the kids mind is gone blank. Who doesn't know the feeling when you just stare at something and think without even seeing what's infront of you
    I always stare back it mostly works and the kid looks the other way

  2. pffft. this is hysterical.

    usually, the best bet is to smile and wave.

    don't ever make faces though.

    follow'd!

  3. Can relate to this so much, it happens ALL THE TIME. Not just at the grocery store either, literally every public place. I thought it was just me or something ._.

  10. Kids are just like little puppies, they are so curious. I generally find this cute but some kids just creep me out.

  14. I remember as a kid I'd always build a back story for people I saw when I was dragged places..but then again I had a crazy imagination. Kids these days don't grow up like we did.

  18. For some time, kids manage to keep their natural curiosity. They gaze at the world with their eyes wide open, and eagerly swallow every tiny bit of information that they can grasp.

    For some time, kids manage to not become as self-conscious as their parents.

    That's how you were born, too - but now you've changed.

    All those worries were just in your mind. The kid was fascinated by your mere existence. You failed to recognize that and got caught up - once again - in your own insecurities.

    There's nothing wrong with the kids.

  20. It's worse when you are in traffic behind a bus of kids, and all the rejects in the back think its so damn hilarious to make faces and rude hand gestures at you for the next 10 minutes. Oh, look at you, you're a latchkey kid!

  21. Dealing with one right now at a soccer game. I am talking to my dad about my trip I am going on. It's annoying as there is somthing more interesting

  22. This is hilarious because in some respects I can relate to it or at least there was a time when I can relate to it. The best thing to do is acknowledge the kid. Say hi or how's it going. If it's a boy call him buddy or bud, a girl say sweetheart or sweetie. This establishes you as the adult in the interaction. Nine times out of 10 this will flip the situation on the kid and he or she will become self-conscious and look away. The worst thing you can do is let it get to you, make you feel uncomfortable, and try to avoid eye contact. This will only make the little bugger want to look even more. If you acknowledge the kid and the little weirdo keep staring just give a little laugh and/or smirk and then look away.
