Question: What is the most annoying type of child?

Answer: Naughty kids.

Ever since He Bufan was two years old and could walk and explore the world on his own, I have been constantly reminding him, afraid that he would grow up to be a naughty child who knows no bounds:

"Son, I beg you, please don't become a naughty child. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist taking drastic measures."

While playing with his puzzle toy, He Bufan nodded seriously in response every time:

"Mom, don't worry, I won't."

I didn't believe him and confiscated the toy in his hand. I asked him again while looking into his eyes:

He looked up at me with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is a naughty child a child that looks like a bear?"

You see, I knew it.

This little rascal just knows how to brush me off.

In order to let him fully understand what a naughty child is, I switched to watching news reports during our parent-child time in the afternoon.

They were all compilations of naughty kids that I collected from various sources during this period.

Naughty kids running rampant in the train compartment, causing dissatisfaction among many passengers.

A naughty child visiting someone else's house and destroying their cherished collection, resulting in compensation, apologies, and severed ties between the two families.

A naughty child cutting the safety rope of a worker performing high-altitude operations, causing the worker to fall, and afterwards smiling in front of the camera, saying that they just wanted to imitate Spider-Man from the TV.

A naughty child playing with fire, causing a house fire and destroying their own home. A naughty child riding a bike and colliding with a pregnant woman, resulting in a miscarriage.

Each news story starts with the words "naughty child," and the final outcome makes one's blood pressure soar with exasperation.

After playing the initial train compartment segment, the naughty kids go wild in the background music, accompanied by the innocent yet wicked laughter of children looping endlessly.

I clenched my fist:

"He Bufan, if you ever become like this in the future, I might just hang you up and give you a beating."
