Sitting in the hospital visiting with Great Gram the nurse came in to take her blood. The young boy, 7, looked over as Great Gram stretched out her arm and became kind of pale. He looked right at the nurse and said "Oh no, She is not gonna like this."

The way it was said made everyone laugh including the patient and nurse. This eased the tension in the room quite dramatically. Children are so full of innocence that when they say the truth so blatantly it makes us smile. Kids can be so candid at times too. This is why we have to watch what we as adults say around them. Little ears do here everything so you really really need to watch those P & Q's.

Here are some things found on the net that show off the true nature of children:

A first grade teacher collected some well known proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb, and had them come up with the rest.

Here are their completions:
