I agree. I am working on this with some of the children in my life.
There's nothing cute about children thinking they are so cute, smart, witty and sarcastic enough to go word-for-word and joke-for-joke with adults. As sarcastic and smart assed as I am, I wasn't able to do all of that as a child. I was told to shut up and sit down plenty of times until I learned how to do it on my own. Now, I can talk and joke with the children in my life, but I am eager to tell them when they are one comment away from getting tackled and shackled to a chair.
That's also how I feel about Jaden Smith. The older he gets, he annoys me. He stopped being cute and funny when he was younger. Now he's annoying and that's another reason why I can't watch The Karate Kid.
