Children think outside of the box...

Oh I know how rare that is since I live in Florida as well :) That is a good comparision though. I do agree that kids sometimes think very differently then us. Back when my niece was in first grade President Bush was first running for president. Of course the teacher was trying to get the kids interested in the election. To learn things from it. That made sense to us. We asked her which one she liked, she said she liked Bush and we asked her why. She said it was because when he smiled he smiled with his eyes. The other guy didn't seem to really smile. She said the other guy looked like he was only smiling cause he was supposed to. I thought that was so interesting insight on her part.

I have a kid who still has to start speaking, but yes children are the most inquitive humans in the world, a report says an avg children ask 500 questions a day? next time start counting how many question your daughter asked in a day

I always think of the rear heater like that too. Kids have the best persective my son asked me about the phrase Ginger Ninja which he overheard on TV, he wanted to know if they were mean ginger bread men and what their special powers were, we made up a story about the Ginger Ninjas together and it was pretty good.

When my son was 5 We decided to take his training wheels off his bike. I was showing him how to do it with out using them and he showed me. He just took off like he had been without him the whole time! After riding and riding I was amazed by how natural it come to him. Later that evening, he asked me how he knew how to do it without those little wheels. I said I don't know, what do you think? He said the sweetest smartest thing possible. I think God helped me do it. I said you know you are probally right. He said I know I am momma. This was way before we were invovled regulary with church.

Well I hope that no one is offended by this, but I found this quite funny and yes, to me it's thinking outside the box lol. I do not have children of my own, but I hear stories all the time from my sisters about the things their kids do or say. Apparently one day my neice was out Christmas shopping with her daddy..just the two of them. Well my brother in law had to go pee so of course he took Emma (my neice) in with him (she's only 4 years old so obviously cannot be left alone). Anyways, he put Emma in a corner of the bathroom where he could still see her..kinda hoping she didn't see him peeing. Anyways, as my brother in law explained to me, all he could see was this little head peaking around and this look of surprise on her face. She then said in the cutest little voice and full of surprise: "Ohhh..so you do have a tail!!" I still laugh whenever I think about this lol..

my oldest daughter who is now 29 said the most funnist things like when she was 5 we were visiting my sister and my brother in law is a minister and she picked up this bible and she saw all these yellow high lights in there she asked her uncle jim why is there so many yellow lined in this book and her uncle replied well jodi those are very impoten things and i mark them so i can talk about them in church she said well what kind of book is this he then said this is a bible this is what i do when i go to church i talk about god.....ohhhh ok she said then went to play......well then we went to visit my dad who is also a minister and she went stright for my her grandpa's bible looked at it threw it down and i said jodi why did you do that well she looked at me and said there is nothing imorten to in this book no yellow lines or nothing so there is nothing improten in here,,,,,

I just love what comes out of the mouths of babes :) My son is almost 2 1/2 and a little bit speech delayed so I'm still waiting for what'll end up coming out of his mouth.

Yeah, I really admire and love kids. Your story reminded me of my little cousin. I was taking a video of our dog, he was watching, he asked me what I was doing, so I told him "I'm taking a video". He asked what's a video, followed by lots of question, he talked without a cut ü. After his so much asking, I had to pause and think (though I know what a video is, i don't know!). He asked me, What was I thinking if it is about the video thing, I replied yes, then he said, "Sorry but I think I already know the answer, it's like you're taking pictures but it's continuous and you can see the movement and hear sounds." I was to tell him that, he's right, but what amazed me was when he said that, "You can find answers to your own questions." Our main language is not english, it sounds better in our native tongue.

my oldest(2 years old) told me this: when we go to her grandparents we always see a mill, most of the time he is turning(hope i say it right) one day there was no wind and she told me that hte mill his batteries where empty! it was so funny to hear that! i must be very carefull with my words because she repeats everything! but it is realy fun having a conversation with a two years old girl!

I beleive that children these days have become smarter than ever before. So your statement is absolutely true

When my daughter was 3, I had taking her with me to where my father worked, and she of course had to go and say hi to the boss. well he proceeded to give her some money, but he held out both hands, in one he had 5 pennies and in the other he had a dollar bill. she grabbed to 5 pennies, and when he asked her why she took that instead of the dollar, she said because it was more money.

children think outside of the box because they don't know the box exists...that the beauty of it.

Kids are influenced by the surrounding around them. I believe that if their parents teach the kids in correct order,hey will grow up as an intelligent and smart person. Parents and surroundings are the key factor that contribute to the way on thinking of the children.

i agree with you! my godchild is so funny when she says stuff about grown ups! i get jealous beacuse i can't see things the way she sees it. i guess the world is much simpler when were kids. ;)

vey funny yeah kids do have minds like that and i hope they never lose that thinking process

ha ha ha... that was sho witty of her.... :) and i got no babies around :( ... to share stories of 'em :(

my little sister sometimes quite embarasses me by asking such questions coz dats the nature of this age group

that was a great answer from your child.

Our kids are so awsome,aren't they? I couldn't possibly imagine my life without my son. Enjoy the kids while they're still young enough to laugh with{which should be for much longer than 18 years} Lela
