This blog is 3 random examples of how simply children’s minds work. Oh how I wish us adults could think as simply as children. I think it would make the world a better place.
I continue to be amazed every day by my children. My oldest son’s favorite book is a book about the human body we picked up for 50cents at a garage sale this summer. It’s quite interesting, and detailed. I assume that it was a school book, but I’m not sure exactly sure what age group I’m guessing at least grade 3. We read one page a night before bed and this is our second time reading the book. He’s always interrupting asking questions. At times, he answers his own questions….the answers aren’t exactly right, but he is sure that he’s right about how whatever we are discussing works.
A couple months ago, we were driving and I was discussing where we were going to stop for dinner. Vincent saw a Burger King- which he just called a Burger place, and mentioned it to us, because of the play place. My answer was, “No honey, momma wants to go to a sit-down eating place”. There was a short moment of silence followed by Vincent’s ever intellengent deduction, “But mommy, the Burger Place has chairs to sit I think.” It took me a second and then it clicked what he had said. Yes, Burger King does, in fact, have chairs to sit in!
Something that made me smile tonight was when my husband told me that he sneezed this evening and reactively covered his mouth with his hand. My 2 year old proceeded to say “No daddy” and showed his daddy he was supposed to cover his mouth in the crook of his elbow.
