Because the work "Kid" is a homonym. So that means it has the same spelling and pronunciation .So the word "kid" is both a baby goat and a reference to children and young people.

The term "kid" for a young child likely originated from the term for a baby goat due to their playful and energetic nature. Over time, the term "kid" became more widely used to refer to young children, possibly because of the playful and mischievous behavior that children and baby goats share.
