Question: What kind of life lessons have you learned from kids!?
Kids say the darndest things!. Can you think of something profound about life that you've heard from someone under the age of 10!?

Back when I was a high school senior, I served as an intern for a now-defunct local newspaper and I was given the task to pick Mother's Day entries to put in the newspaper that were written by kids!.

This one stood out in my mind nine years later!. A boy wrote to the paper saying how his mom was like a pair of scissors; she would cut out all the bad times and leave in the good times!.

It wasn't necessarily a life lesson but it was incredibly profound and I had to include it in the paper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
