What's the definition of a good kid?  I'd say some people are pretty hard on kids and perhaps find kids irritating in general.  So they might define a good kid as one that doesn't exist or one that makes their existence inobtrusive in the extreme.  Although I'd never call my self a kid-person, I'd say a good kid is one that, while you are riding in the backseat next to them on a winding, narrow road in rural Provence, asks you where that plastic bag is in just enough time for you to find it and bring it up to the good kid's mouth before his breakfast makes a second appearance.  And, mind you, then asks for a tissue to wipe his mouth rather than indiscriminately wiping said mouth on one's good black wool coat.  A good kid saves the day and a trip to the dry cleaners.  It's worth remembering.
