Kids say the craziest things, and sometimes once you’re done laughing, you realize they are absolutely correct. Children don’t process information through the same filter as adults. They don’t adhere to all of the weird societal rules we accept without question. The world hasn’t beaten them into submission yet. Without much effort, they can think outside of the box.
Now, you might be reading this and thinking, “My kid isn’t smart. I pulled a toy car out of his nose last week.” Fair enough, but that’s the kind of innovative thinking that provides answers to questions we never even thought to ask. Like Elon Musk says, “You have to stick a few toy cars up your nose before you can invent a Tesla.” Or something like that. I don’t know. Anyway, here’s some kids who are obviously smarter than me.
