Is anyone else tired of hearing children being routinely referred to as "kids"?

Yes, kids are baby goats, and children are less-than adult humans.

I think we are just showing our age.

Even when I was one, I thought the term was dismissive and, depending on who was using it, maybe even a little derogatory ("They're just kids.")

That said, I could be showing my age too!
