THE WAY CHILDREN SEE THINGS!
Have you ever wondered what goes on in a child's mind...Even a mother cannot predict it...Here are few examples (read, experienced and heard) of what they actually think about certain things in life. And as someone rightly said a child can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer....

Nudity
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer eveningwhen a Woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. Shewas stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing aseat belt!

HONESTY
My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'ddropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw itin the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran tomy bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and saidwith a charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then,'cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.

OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a Notefrom his mother.. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this childare not necessarily those of his parents."

KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar.During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-olddaughter to answer the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the childsaid to her mother. Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone totalk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle."

ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderlyshut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my after noonrounds.The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers andwheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring ata pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for theinevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "Thetooth fairy will never believe this!"

DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she sawher dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wearthat suit." "And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives youa headache the next morning."

DEATH I love this one!!
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our ministerheard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured asmall box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for thedisposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say theappropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version ofwhat he thought his Father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather,and unto the Sonnn ... And into the hole he gooooes."

SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm justwasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't writeand they won't let me talk!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as hefingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of theBible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was anold leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look whatI found", the boy called out." What have you got there, dear?" Withastonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it'sAdam's underwear!"
