RE: Bob’s Burgers
I can see why the kids would prefer to play with Bob over Linda
He’s reading his paper and relaxing. The kids are free to plan things out for themselves and indulge their creativity with very little interference. When they need or want his attention, he’s right there to be called upon. And he’s always very easygoing with them.
"Would your mother let you do this?"
Meanwhile, Linda attempts to force fun on the kids. She overpowers every situation that she’s in.
Sometimes kids just want to play. If you’re the adult, you’re the passive audience.
