I want to write another play. For it, I need a list of Things Children Do Not UnderstandI have started one, but I would like help coming up with more things that could be on this list. A great way to communicate to an audience best is to come at something from more than one angle ( Read more... )

I didn't understand the word 'fuck'. I always thought it might be another word for something, like 'gate' or 'bread'. I don't know... I just thought it stood for something and wasn't just a exlamation.

The passive voice.

Also, thought the world was in black & white until movies went to color.

I didn't understand how married people had the same last name. Somehow it just didn't occur to me that you could just change your last name, so I tohught that was how people knew who to marry: You had to marry someone who had your same last name (who, obviously, wasn't related to you. Even I could figure that part out). And I was like, Momberger! I'm screwed!

I didn't understand that vocal harmony occurred between more than one person, and I thought something was wrong with me because I couldn't split my voice.

A child cannot understand what it means to be childish. It's a matter of awareness. Now we can look back with nostalgia on our simpler understanding, even as we look down with condescension (rightfully?) on children we meet ( ... )
