How to use kid in a sentence?

1. Lisa Grennan:

   They go through enormous amounts of training and are more used to going up against multiple grown men and hearing loud noises, so the little things a kid might do to startle a regular dog isn't going to phase ours at all.

2. Kyle Doan:

   And that’s something no parent wants to admit. And I kind of knew it after the first night… And it’s a hard, hard concept, especially when it’s your kid.

3. Irwin Redlener:

   It's rarely going to be a direct cause-and-effect, a storm would not cause a well-balanced kid to kill themselves. But this is mostly worrisome for the vulnerable children -- that is, (children) who have had some preexisting challenges like depression ... Kids who tend to be loners and not very communicative. Kids with other types of mental health conditions ... This is the last straw.

4. Eddie Redmayne:

   I went to an all boys' school and when I was a kid I played a lot of women in school plays. In Britain there is a tradition of men playing women but what was interesting for this movie was meeting trans women and hearing what their experience was.

5. Don Felder:

   As a kid, I had my head under the hood of a car, either an old Ford or a Chevrolet, just learning about it so if anything happened, I could repair it.
