Can you spot the differences in these three sentences?

1. I like kids.
2. I want to have kids.
3. I want to have kids soon.

It's tricky, I know. Take your time.

I take "I like kids" to mean "I don't automatically dislike kids." I like kids in the same way as I like adults: I'm willing not to automatically assume I will dislike them if they don't give me some reason to do so. Except that excreting on me and not talking to me is more of a reason not to like a grown-up, I guess.
