I and "Wonderful Aunty Kate" had the pleasure of taking 3 kids between the ages of 7-8 out for lunch today. It was a little treat for Iman & her friends. Aunty Kate was going to babysit them while I was going to be busy for the rest of the afternoon with mundane stuff that the kids were not able to be part of. While in the car, three little cherubic kids did what they were best at - being loud and noisy! But listening in on their conversation was what got Kate & I all tickled. One was making a little fuss that the friend had made a boo-boo in something he said. Suddenly, this little voice rises above all the din and says-"But it's alright to make mistakes, that's how we learn!" Out of the mouth of babes!
My wishes/hopes for Iman, Mildred & Terry - when they grow up to be "real" life-sized adults, may they be as loving, wonderful & intelligent as they are now.

Too true. Children teach us many things about life and ourselves. All we have to do is listen.
Ya, basically children don't know how to pretend and their innocence marvel us. I like the way you put it. Very real and down to earth! without any hypocricy. Keep on writing and may be one day you have enough volume to publish a book for the public.
TOPM Ahh kids- the age of innocence where honesty's just like taking a breath of fresh air! I love being around these three-they may be doing all the kid's stuff but listen closely and you might hear stuff that marvels you to no end! Mildred & Terry are Kate's nephew & niece(her sis's Tris's kids, they live a couple of lanes away)They're the moct delightful children to be around.
