Lovely.:) Mind you some of these children are a little too wise for their ages.
ReplyDeleteI can just remember saying things a bit like that SR.
ReplyDeleteI think that we all fondly imagine that children are innocent, but they hear everything that adults talk about, and of course see too much on tv.
I liked the one about love not happening while the Simpsons are on tv... I agree with that!
Truth, honesty, integrity. Children always give the truest answers to life and its problems.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. I don't think that most of them have the ability to see that there are some things that are best left unsaid.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a lack of guile though. I think some kids are brilliant at getting their own way playing their parents against each other... and their grandparents.
special-relationship :D
ReplyDeleteEeeeeeee....... Dunno quite what to say to that CH... But I wish I'd seen it a little less close to bed time. If I don't sleep all night, it's your fault.
