Kids learn new things really fast. Everyone knows that. Their minds are geared towards learning stuff and gaining rapid experience from all the new things they see around them.

So if you play a kid in a roleplaying game, they should get an experience bonus and advance in skill levels faster than anyone else. Try that one on your GM next time!
