“I think it's odd that grown-ups quarrel so easily and so often and about such petty matters.”
— Anne Frank

Simplified Meaning:
Adults often argue about small and unimportant things. It's strange because they should be able to stay calm and handle problems better than kids. For example, think about two neighbors who fight because one person's tree is dropping leaves into the other's yard. Instead of talking calmly and solving the problem, they get angry and yell at each other. People can try to remember that many arguments aren't really worth getting upset about. They can ask themselves if the issue will matter in a week or a month. By doing this, they might realize that they can let go of small problems and focus on what truly matters in life.
