So true about children. Their secret, I believe, is "maintaining freshness of appreciation".
Kids don't pull their punches. They don't think of them as punches....They are refreshingly honest. Take my niece, who took one look at me when I came in from a walk in the wind and said, "What happened to your hair, Auntie Mary? It's a mess!"
Ah, if only groanups could be so forthright without being insulting.....Perhaps, on the QT, something like, "What happened to your front tooth? It's green!" (for after eating broccoli or spinach) or "What happened to your shoe? it's sprouted toilet paper!"
Or....perhaps not.
