Even the youngest kids can be anoying. My friend three year old niece comes to mind. She runs around the house, throws things and screams instead of talks. I'm not only talking about her however because my other friend four year old brother does basically the same thing. However the most annoying thing I can think of is when one of them constantly asks 'Why' after every sentance you say.
You can't generalise it but thats the experiance I've had with kids.
Back on topic, I am planning on reading Lord of the Ring after I get through with 'After the king'

My sister is twelve, and to annoy me she asks "why" after every sentence sometimes. But she's nothing compared to Rachel! "Becky, why is the sky there? "Becky, Why is the grass green?" "Becky, why am I here?". My favourite answer is "Because it feels like it." I feel sorry for you Tiger, if you think that most kids have tantrums and scream all the time. I don't know what kids you've met, but you need to meet some different ones.
I've never heard of After the King. What's it about?

Is 'After the King' a LOTR/Tolkien book? Just wondering because if it is I've never heard of it
After the King is not a book written by Tolkien, nor is it a Lord of the Rings book. It is a selection of short stories written by authors inspired by Tolkien. The main two are Terry Pratchet and Stephan Donaldson.
And Oliphaunt that isn't the only experiances I have had with kid. My second cousins on my fathers side of the family were fine when they were younger, and same with my cousin on my Mother side. I was not talking about them having tantrems but my friend niece screams anytime whether shes having a tantrem or not. I have tended to steer clear of them when I can.
The most annoying thing I can remember a kid doing was when I was up one of my friends house and his brother was about five. He took my shoes (because their mother has a thing about keep the house clean and noe shoes are allowed in the house) and buried them in the garden. I was looking for them for about an hour.
But that is just the way my life has gone. Current that friends brother is about 13 or 14 and current has a thing about swearing, and he still throws about 30 minute tantrems when he doesn't get his own way.
But I digress.
