Kids say
the funniest things. They surprise us because we forget about the amount of
thinking that goes on in those little bodies. If you have a child or small
relative, then you probably have an own experience of when a kid’s comment

of its polka-dotted glory, ended up back in the closet.
Yesterday I
asked one of our kids a question about doing homework. I got a blank look, so I
said, “You look as though I asked you to eat a cow.” Our youngster replied, “I
probably could if it was seasoned right.” You never know what kids will say.

been hesitant to give?
