Innocense of Children’s Thinking
Although we know the the thinking of children is innocent, it still never fails to fascinate us when children say things that just demonstrate that.
Yesterday when leaving the house, my 6 year old (Suraj) got to the front door first as we about to leave. He noticed something in the letter box sticking out, he grabbed it and I asked what it was.
He didn’t say anything, I saw that it was a takeaway leaflet from an Indian takeaway, and said as much. Now as you may of gathered we are of Indian decent, now in the scheme of things what has this got to do with anything.
He turned around look at me and said, “How do they know we are Indian”. My other two children, wife and myself laughed at the sheer innocence and clever (lateral) thinking of his mind.
Sometimes all we need to do is listen to our children to truly understand how our minds work.
