Okay, this one is a little short, but then so is Cody (audience groans). No wait…. I swear I won't make anymore bad jokes if you stay, … please?
But I'm Only a Little Kid
Today there has been a mantra that has constantly preyed on my nerves. You're only a little kid. Why do they ignore me? My point of view? My suggestions?
I refuse to speak badly of my contemporaries, but even so I feel obliged to point out when I feel that they have made a mistake in their reasoning.
After all I have the digiegg of knowledge, they should at least respect me for that, even if for nothing else. I know what I'm talking about. If the Digimon Emperor is human then we can't just bulldoze our way through like he was a digimon. He's like us. He has hopes and dreams and feelings just like we do. We can't ignore them just because they humanise our enemy.
After all the reason that he is so easy to humanise is because he is human. That is the crux of our problem. If we are to defeat him we must do it without becoming him, because if we become him, for even one instant in battle then all the Digiworld will do is exchange one dictator for five new ones. And that would be unfortunate.
But even so we must fight this battle, and do so on both fronts. Here the Emperor has no power base, no support system. He would be an easier target and no one would be hurt in the fight except for him and us.
But the others don't listen. Davis… well Davis ignores almost anything we say except for Kari. And Yolei, one of my oldest and dearest friends still only sees me as a child. I can't do anything to change that. But she should know better. I may need her help with my computer, but I understand what motivates people. All that takes is observation.
I almost thought that T.K. would stand up for me, but he too was swayed by the group mantra of He's only a little kid. I think that I could grow to dislike that sentiment.
But why should I be forbidden from expressing myself? I am an equal member of the group. I have ideas, just the same as Kari and T.K. and Davis and Yolei.
But I can't give them voice or else I will receive the same mantra again what would you know, you're only a little kid.
Oh I know. I know that Davis would love for Kari to go out with him. I know that the only reason that Kari ignores him in favour of T.K. is to annoy Davis. I know that Yolei would love to grab on to Izzy and never let go. I know Izzy can't imagine anything worse. I know that Tai worries about us still, even though we're not his responsibility.
But what would I know? I'm only a little kid.
