They grow up so fast
I’m not normally a fan of children in games because, as noted in this episode of the Electronic Wireless Showpodcast, they get into the uncanny valley pretty quickly. But it’s the season to be jolly, so we’re talking about the times we thing kids in games are actually really good.
