Daily Good Stuff 58: Oh Those Crazy Kids

As the title suggests, this is a kids/babies post. I hope you love kids because we’re going hard. Oh wait…oh God not hard, just…hard candy…no they’ll choke on it. Never mind. Anyway, I’ve been working with and teaching kids since I was 12 years old. I’m 21 now so it’s been a while. I specialize with 4 and 5 year olds. So cute! So, it’s sort of a tribute to all of my students/campers. Let’s start with a couple of images:

Ha! Some become grown-ups and some become vehicles. And this guy has an encouraging word for us all:

Awesome and so true. Now, how about some cool words with our kid focus:

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance. ~Franklin P. Jones

Yeah working with those kids, no kidding. A video:

And a joke:

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment:

Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories

“Johnny, do you have a story to share?”

“Yes, ma’am, my daddy told a story about my Aunt Carol. Aunt Carol was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a small flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn’t fall into enemy hands and then her parachute landed right in the middle of twenty enemy troops. She shot fifteen of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, ’till the blade broke and then she killed the last one with her bare hands.”

“Good heavens,” said the horrified teacher, “What kind of moral did your daddy teach you from that horrible story?”

“Stay the hell away from Aunt Carol when she’s been drinking.”

Good stuff. Aren’t kids great? Well, at least they have their moments. Alright, have a good one!
