Kids are the best.

\\n

They say the funniest things, and they don\\u2019t mind telling you exactly how they feel. They\\u2019ll give you the unvarnished truth, whether you want it or not.

My four-year-old can get grumpy sometimes, as many four years olds can. It\\u2019s hard not to laugh when he gets upset, as he crosses his arms, puffs up his bottom lip, and gives a stomp and a humph. This sequence is usually followed by the declaration, \\u201cDaddy, I\\u2019m going to be upset forever.\\u201d He emphasizes the \\u201cforever\\u201d part, and with his toddler accent, he pronounces it \\u201cfo-evah!\\u201d

\\n

In your head, you can recite that \\u201cfo-evah!\\u201d comment, along with the look you might imagine, and understand why I find this to be both adorable and humorous.

What exactly is he doing? He\\u2019s doing what every preschooler does \\u2013 he\\u2019s taking his current feeling and projecting it into perpetuity (for-lev-uh!). He\\u2019s doing what most investors do. Investors study and digest the environment around them and assume that whatever trends are in place now will continue into the future.
