shorts
Shorts are like when you borrow a toy from your friend because you think the toy is going to be less fun for everyone soon. You borrow it, play with it for a little bit, and then give it back, hoping that when you do, the toy isn’t as popular anymore. If you’re right, you can give back the toy and maybe even trade it for something else that you like more, because people aren’t playing with it as much. But if you’re wrong and everyone still loves the toy, you might have to give back something extra to get your friend to let you borrow it in the first place.
Think of it like a bet. You are betting that the toy will be less fun later. If you win the bet, you get something good. If you lose, you might have to give up one of your toys. It’s a bit like a game of guessing what’s going to happen next!
It’s also like wearing your shoes on the wrong feet. It might feel okay at first, but if you keep them on that way, it might start to hurt. So, you have to be careful and make sure you know what you’re doing before you try it.
