Kids are natural poets. Even the ones that are too young to read and write can drop a line that's so funny, so beautiful and so profound, Shakespeare would shamelessly steal it if he was still around.
NYC school teacher Alyssa Cowit "believes children are honest and curious, and while often perplexed, they’re brilliant – and that it's a teacher's job to take what children say seriously." Cowit was so fascinated by the phrases that were coming out from her kindergarteners that she teamed up with Greg Dunbar, a digital marketing manager with Walt Disney Studios, and started Live from Snack Time, to achieve them.
Accepting submissions from around the globe, they have grown the project to more than 625k followers and have helped adults understand that children aren't just seeking attention, but also think out loud, soaking up new information, and solving problems 24/7.

I understand this one. Sometimes it just goes through you. You read and read, and maybe even understand the content superficially, but you just can't seem to get it inside your head, feeling kind of absent. It does happen, however, that this knowledge gets into your head days, even years later, after you've read it. Sometimes your brain delays the knowledge.
Ah, yes, it would be. Except the fact that people's heads rest on you all the time.
That's how I feel on the inside if I see a crush of mine, too...and I just turned 30 😅
Poor dear Ruby had a long day. I hope she had a lovely bubble bath.
Not long now, scarily enough. This year seems to have flew by.. though I guess to a child it lasts longer. Time really passes you by once you get past 20 :/
Cell phones make this entirely too common. Undivided attention is a rare treat.
i apparently told something similar to this to my parents who used to drive from seattle to san Francisco quite often when i was very young. one timeon the drive back home at age 5 or so, i said " next time, im taking a helicopter."
I feel this. I like to crack open a cold Mountain Dew after a hard day.
For some reason these are the most enjoyable quotes. These are pretty bright kids with some complex ideas.
I once tutored a kid who told me all about his dreams to be a Minecraft youtuber and so doesn't need to go to school. When I tried to tell him about how important school is he shouted to me "I'm a GAMER, not a LEARNER!" and I still think regularly about that quote a lot. Makes my day almost every time.
