As the old saying goes, "Out of the mouths of babes." Everyone knows there is such innocence and truth when kids speak. And as tough as the world is, kids seem to have an amazing understanding of it all. I often wonder if kids have this simplistic way to make sense of this complicated, intense and at times chilling world so that adults can be reminded of the things that matter, of the important things, of the way it should be. Things with kids are just so easy and simple, that's it. Such truth coming from such an unlikely source. When the world starts taking its punches and knocking us around, we become accustomed to the hurt and scars that we are left with. Thankfully most children have time before they are worn and torn by the world.
