Kids are so Honest.

I absolutely love how honest so many young children are. I work a lot with 2nd and 3rd graders in my internship and yesterday I was counseling a very honest, very outspoken seven year old. In my office I have two personal photos in frames above my bookshelf. One of my husband and I and the other from our wedding day on the beach. Upon entering this little girl looked around my office at various posters on the wall, coloring pages that I hang on a bulletin board colored by students to decorate for the closest holiday, and then she came across my photos. She started giggling loudly and walked up to the one from my wedding. "Ew! Sick!" she said as she continued to giggle. Surprised, I laughed a little and thought what could possibly be wrong with the photo from my wedding day? When I asked her what was so "ew and sick" about the picture she said, "Why did someone take a picture of your butts?!" Butts? I thought... Well see for yourself...

Oh the mind of a child. Here we were thinking we were being so artistic and symbolic by "staring out in to our future". Thanks for the reality check little one.
