"AREN'T CHILDREN WONDERFUL?"


"Aren't children wonderful?!" says a mum.

I had these students telling me about some categorised as "personal" stuff about their parents, about snoring, rejection and bla bla bla (in front of their parents! That must be real embarassing for them knowing that secrets are out from their own children).

Hmm I felt bad to be the one to listen to them. Felt sorry for the parents but then that's the nature of children, they tell what they know and what's in their hearts and on their minds. Not sure whether it's a good thing/a bad one. Depends on which context you are applying it to... I guess.

Pro: pure and honest and transparent.
*Matthew 19:14 - Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."


Con: talking without thinking?
*Proverbs 10:14 - Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.
*Ecclesiastes 10:12 - Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious, but a fool is consumed by his own lips.
