Kids' shoes are cleaner than that of an adult

Kids' shoes are cleaner that that of an adult. That is what many adults think.

You board the MRT, and you see 3 irritating little kids running around, screaming at the top of their voice. AFter a while some people start to get off the train, and there are some empty seats around. You sit down first, and tries to sit. The mother sits down too and the kids follow. But now there is a problem, there are not enough seats for the kids. They all want to sit, so two of them share one seat, squishing the innocent you beside them. Kids, being kids, can never stay still for more than 3 seconds. Soon, in the already very cramp seat, the kids start to jerk around as they accidently poke each other and some of them starts squealing. They did not bother taking their shoes off. You open your eyes, only to find that you are beside the squealing little pigs - i mean kids, but there's not much different, is there? Both squeal, squish each other, and make a hell lot of noise.

Now the parent points to something outside the window. At once the kids stand on the seat and points at a distant object, yelling to the kid at the other side. Maybe the kid even starts jumping about. One steps on another's toe. The kid starts wailing, and kicking the other kid. Now they get into a fight, kicking at everything - including you - with their shoes.

Finally the train stops again, and saves you from the ordeal.

Now I always find it very irritating when the kids act like that. Espacially when the kids stand on the seat and jump around WITH THEIR SHOES ON. Plus, the parents do nothing to stop them. The seats don't belong to them, does it? And I don't see why kids are allowed to do that in the first place. The shoes of kids ARE NOT in anyway cleaner than that of an adult. In fact it might even be dirtier. Yes I agree that sometimes parents do carry their kids around, so they don't quite walk around as much as adults do, but when they DO walk, they go around stepping in mud, running in water, so i don't see why their shoes are considered cleaner! Or perhaps the parents just don't care.
