Read this in Devi's blog and feel intrigued because its so true! Therefore I can't help myself but to share it in mine. Hihi.. Ready? Here goes:
"If an adult is reinforced for behaving appropriately we call it recognition.
If a child is reinforced for behaving appropriately we call it bribery.
If an adult laughs we call it socializing.
If a child laughs we call it misbehaving.

If a child writes in a book we call it destroying property.
If an adult sticks to something we call it perseverance.
If a child sticks to something we call it stubbornness.
If an adult seeks help we call it consulting.
If a child seeks help we call it whining.
If an adult is not paying attention we call it preoccupation.
If a child is not paying attention we call it distractibility.
If an adult forgets something we call it absentmindedness.
If a child forgets something we call it attention deficit.
If an adult tells his side of a story we call it clarification.
If a child tells his side of a story we call it talking back.
If an adult raises his voice in anger we call it maintaining control.
If a child raises his voice in anger we call it a temper tantrum.
If an adult hits a child we call it discipline.
If a child hits a child we call it fighting.
If an adult behaves in an unusual way we call him unique.
If a child behaves in an unusual way we refer him for a psychological evaluation."
