The Wisdom of Children
My young grandson
called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He
asked me how old I was, and I told him, "62." He was
quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you
start at 1?"
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter
what her own childhood was like:
"We used to skate
outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire;
it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our
pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At
last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you
sooner!"
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked,
"Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?
"I mentally
polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we
alike?"
"You're both old,"
he replied.
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her
grandfather's word processor. She told him she was
writing a story.
"What's it about?"
he asked.
"I don't know," she
replied. "I can't read."
I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her
colors yet, so I decided to test her I would point
out something and ask what color it was. She would
tell me, and always she was correct. But it was fun
for me, so I continued.
At last she headed for the
door, saying sagely, "Grandma, I think you should
try to figure out some of these yourself!"
When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation
cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside
to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few
fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I
did, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The
mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."
When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly
replied, "I'm not sure."
"Look in your
underwear, Grandma," he advised.
"Mine says I'm four
to six."
A second grader came home from school and said to
her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned
how to make babies today." The grandmother, more
than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool.
"That's interesting," she said, "How do you make
babies?"
"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change
'y' to 'i' and add 'es'"
Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public
servant," said a teacher.
The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the
ladder pregnant."
The teacher took
the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what
pregnant means?" she asked.
"Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means
carrying a child."
A nursery school teacher was delivering a station
wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck
zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire
truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started
discussing the dog's duties. They use him to keep
crowds back," said one youngster.
"No, said another, "he's just for good luck."
A third child brought the argument to a close. "They
use the dogs", she said firmly, "to find the fire
hydrant."
