[That Other Guy]

A few more creepy things about children: They want to talk to you; about many things (sometimes at once), but not one of those things is remotely interesting. They are often sticky or dirty, even when they don't look it; and they want to touch you and your things. They are walking germ vectors. Think about it; that last one in combination with the previous two and everything Proto said. Suddenly that childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang isn't such a bad guy.
