If someone is stupid,
Call them stupid.

If someone is mean,
Call them mean.

If someone is rude,
Call them rude.

If someone is ignorant,
Call them ignorant.

If someone is idiotic,
Call them idiotic.

If someone is arrogant,
Call them arrogant.

If someone is chaotic,
Call them chaotic.

If someone is pathetic,
Call them pathetic.

What gives you the right to call them childish?

Were you those things as a child?
Perhaps you were, perhaps you weren't.

What defines childish?
Acting as a child would.

And if you are a child, then every act
Is acting as a child would.

The stupid and the smart.
The mean and the kind.
The rude and the polite.
The ignorant and the knowledgable.
The idiotic and the sane.
The arrogant and the shy.
The chaotic and the ordered.
The pathetic and the confident.

So let me ask you one more time,
Why the negative ones are called

Childish.
