Kids and Personal Space

Most kids have no understanding of personal space. I have a girl at work who is always right in my face. Yesterday...

Me (moving back and extending my arms enough that she can't come forward): Personal space! This is my space!

She always laughs and complies when I outline my personal space...until the next time! But this time there was a third voice.

Younger girl: That's right, everyone has a bubble and her bubble is bigger than yours. My bubble popped!

At least now I understand why they have no thought for personal space!
