You Know Why I Love Kids?

Because they are so damn blunt. They are not afraid to let you know that there is a booger hanging out of your nose, or that you look ugly today. In fact, when they tell you how nice you are and how much they love playing with you, you would know that they mean it.

Anyway, I haven't been around grade school kids for the longest time, and today I just had to laugh when the bus let off some of the kids on my street. I just pulled into my driveway when four small children were yelling unintelligible adventures and misadventures of their lives back and forth. Finally, the short blond guy reached his house (which is right across the street from mine) and proceeded to overturn the garbage can on wheels and sit on it. No, I take that back. He made a cot out of it and layed his back onto it while yelling out, "Hey guys, call me when you get home. Call me on my trash can. Just call me."

Obviously, the three kids up ahead were giggling like crazy. This blond dude will definately be the joker when he grows up, you can just tell. Anyway, about being blunt, one of the little girls yelled back, "You are soooo STUPID." And that just made my day. Because really, it's been a long time since anybody stated the obvious. We should do that more often in our lives. Can you just imagine walking through campus and listening to another boring rendition from those guys who try to be impressive by stating for the millionth time how much they got drunk or some of the girls for that matter who try hard by, well, pretty much explaining the same thing. Yet, I doubt saying, "You are soooo STUPID," would do much good. I mean, if you drink, drink, but don't brag. Nobody cares.

Ok, I'm way off topic. But hey, welcome to my world.
