Why we love kids<\/b><\/p>\n
NUDITY<\/p>\n
I was
\ndriving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a
\nwoman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved.\u00a0 She was stark
\nnaked!\u00a0 As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout
\nfrom the back seat, “Mom! That lady isn’t wearing a seat belt!”<\/p>\n
OPINIONS<\/p>\n
On
\nthe first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from
\nhis mother. The note read, “The opinions expressed by this child are
\nnot necessarily those of his parents.”<\/p>\n
MORE NUDITY<\/p>\n
A
\nlittle boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women’s locker
\nroom.\u00a0 When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies
\ngrabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in
\namazement, and then asked, “What’s the matter, haven’t you ever seen a
\nlittle boy before?”<\/p>\n
POLICE<\/p>\n
It
\nwas the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the
\nstation.\u00a0 As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake began
\nbarking. I saw a little boy staring in at me.\u00a0 “Is that a dog you got
\nback there?” he asked.\u00a0 “It sure is,” I replied. Puzzled, the boy
\nlooked at me and then towards the back of the van.\u00a0 Finally he asked,
\n“What’d he do?”<\/p>\n
ELDERLY<\/p>\n
While
\nworking for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins,
\nI used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. The
\nvarious appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers, and
\nwheelchairs unfailingly intrigued her.\u00a0 One day I found her staring at
\na pair of false teeth soaking in a glass.\u00a0 As I braced myself for the
\ninevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, “The
\ntooth fairy will never believe this!”<\/p>\n
DRESS-UP<\/p>\n
A
\nlittle girl was watching her parents dress for a party.\u00a0 When she saw
\nher dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, “Daddy, you shouldn’t wear that
\nsuit.” \u00a0“And why not, darling?” he asked.\u00a0 “Because it always gives you a headache the next morning.”<\/p>\n
SCHOOL<\/p>\n
A
\nlittle girl had just finished her first week of school. “I’m just
\nwasting my time,” she said to her mother. “I can’t read, I can’t write,
\nand they won’t let me talk!”<\/p>\n
BIBLE<\/p>\n
A
\nlittle boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he
\nfingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the
\nBible. He picked up the object and looked at it.\u00a0 What he saw was an
\nold leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.\u00a0 “Mama, look what
\nI found!” the boy called out. ” What have
\nyou got there, dear?” his mother asked.\u00a0 With astonishment in the young
\nboy’s voice, he answered, “I think it’s Adam’s underwear!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
