Wise Words from Kids

I was at a museum in Calgary when I stumbled across this chalkboard in the "Discovery Room." There, kids are encouraged to think about and write responses to a prompt for the day. Here's a snapshot of that day's prompt:











A pretty good question, with a lot of good answers (including one about how we should rethink celebrity on 9/11 -- the day I was at the museum). But this one struck me the most (not the "Annie was here" part, although that's cute):



Isn't that just perfectly worded? Could not have said it better myself. I think there's a budding future writer there...

    Kids are amazing and they do understand the world better than us at times.

    Kids really do get things better than we do!

    Hmm... I'm not so sure it's that simple, but definitely a fun answer. Thanks for sharing!

    And greetings from a fellow campaigner!
