Yeah, I agree: they are so different when it comes to kids. It occurs to me that Sam's whole, "Name three kids you even know" in Dead in the Water applies to himself as much as Dean--maybe more. But whereas Sam is ever the intellectual, Dean's able to let go and exist very much in the moment. And that's EXACTLY how a four-year-old relates to the world. It's all about NOW. Dean groks that and he's able to just play in a way that Sam isn't comfortable doing. Poor Sam.
Anyway. There I go being all meta again. Glad you liked it!
