Kids' stuff

last sunday night i went out with friends at a nearby resto which serves the most delicious halo-halo in the entire barangay (city actually).

seven of us were all seated and enjoying the treats and laughing at someone's corny jokes when suddenly a toddler, a two-year old i think, came to our table and was also laughing. Everyone stopped laughing to see what was this little being doing in our table. His big buddies, just across us, were just watching him. We thought he was attracted by our noise.

Then this cute creature slowly climbed to a vacant chair and confidently seated himself, and his looks was like “hi pips! care to chat?”

And we all laughed.

Goodness! Kids are really smart. This one thought he belonged to our group as there was one empty chair left while there was none for him in the table where his big buddies were. Well, his mom had to carry him with the chair as he did not want to go with her without it.

I remember a lecturer who once said children are born smart they become dumb when they go to school, where teachers are morons. (well, not all. but most)

LOL. I think I agree that children are born smart. But intellect in the sense of knowing what is real, and not just simply knowing a lot. As you grow old, you begin to learn a lot of things but then you also begin to lose parts of that old knowledge you had. Then again, the closer you get to old age, the wiser you become. So really, the only stupid people in this world are those who are middle-aged.
