Children

[estepheia]

Why, oh, why, does Viktoria always befriend the truly dreadful children? Katharina has always picked nice friends, intelligent girls who have some manners and parents who actually care what their children do (and yeah, I know how this sounds). He friends always have parents we like and are able to talk to. Viktoria always picks the ones who hate school, and who get neglected by their parents. Whenever these kids come for a visit, all they want is watch TV, play playstation or computer games, and eat junk food. They have no imagination, and no patience. No toy interests them longer than 5 seconds.
They fill me with a totally unfair desire to get rid of them ASAP. And then I always feel guilty.
It's an "Eek! Outsider!" mentality that I find quite unacceptable on a rational level. *sigh*
