The way kids see things

One reason I love working with kids is their comments that make me laugh. Often this is due to their misinterpretation of things. I'll admit I did the same kind of thing when I was young. I knew a little about colleges, that my mom went to BYU which she sometimes called "the Y" and my dad went to the U. I remember wondering if I knew anyone that went to "the B". The other day I heard a student say, "I used to live in Utah, now I live in Utah's Best Mix". A boy last year told me "I'm a carnivore because I eat meat and I'm a vegetarian because I eat vegetables." Sometimes kids look at the facts and draw the wrong conclusions. For example, I overheard an older elementary student say, "All of the girls in my class that have a boyfriend have brown hair. You know so and so? She is really pretty and has blonde hair and USED to have a boyfriend, but not anymore, it's just the brown haired girls. My mom dyed her hair brown and that's when she met my dad. See?" Now that one I do wish were a little more true :)

I wonder if that's the way Heavenly Father thinks about our reasoning. Compared to Him we've still got a lot of understanding to obtain, so I'm sure our views are a little skewed and he probably gets to laugh at our misconstrued ideas.
