Kids say the darndest things ...

Kids are fun ... well more funny than fun ... because they're stupid ... but that's not their fault ... they're young, they're learning ... we laugh with them, not at them ... we were the same when we were younger too ... it's just the natural order of things ... but when you're on the other side of the globe, the natural order can be easily upset ... especially when you're learning a language ... when you're standing in line at a supermarket and you can't understand a bloody word that the little boy with mittens tied to his coat and snot running down his nose is saying ... not because he's talking gibberish or he's drunk ... but because he knows more French than you do ... it's embarrasing ... it makes you feel stupid ... kids can say whatever they want to you and get away with it ... because you just don't know what's going on ... it's unnatural ... it's just plain wrong ... but like with most things in nature there are scales and balances ... thank goodness there's virtually nothing that a good clip around the ear 'ole won't fix.
