I very much enjoy interacting with little children

I very much enjoy interacting with little children. Getting them to smile makes me smile. I think that children are honest. I have been burnt way too many times by adults and by my naivete or buy people reading my intention completely in accurately. I, for some reason, I've never had that problem with little children. As the children grow older they are no longer children. I enjoy a good joke, although I have heard them almost all. I enjoy exhilarating experiences which brings smiles or laughs to my face.
