When it comes to questions adults know the right answers to, kids’ responses continue to amaze us thanks to their wit and non-standard approach to thinking.
There are many things we can learn from children, from how they solve issues to how they complete various tasks.
We are sure that whatever comes out of a child’s mouth goes far beyond the truth — these things can help us cope with difficulties and solve puzzles quite well.
After all, the most interesting things take place when they come up with something completely new.
1. “My son has 2 pairs of sneakers and took both left shoes this morning. Still, he didn’t get confused and ended up making this. I was both mortified and impressed.”
2. “I’ll see you all when this kid wins a Nobel Prize.”
