have you ever PonderedAbout those little
bipeds that walk amongst us?

you know, the ones that are about half
our size

if not for their giggles and ear-splitting shrieks,
these creatures would go unnoticed

but they are worth our attention,
if for nothing else, they are strange

for example, they see the world
very differently than we do -

they are apt to tell us that
fluttering leaves create the wind;
the moon follows us when we walk;
and the stars are "little moons"

tell us, that is, if we take the time
to look down, get their attention and
ask them to tell us what's on their minds

check out the video below to get a
sense of the answers these little ones
(aka, children) might give if we were
to ask them a question -

a simple question like,

What did you learn today in school?
