Out of the mouths of babes - the wise, the funny and the ones that make you wonder.

Thinking about what McGilchrist said about left and right hemisphere development in little kids, and if I remember correctly, that the right hemisphere is more developed in the very young and then the left hemisphere develops along with acquiring language. I figured that is one reason why little kids can say some very wise things. The other reason, as previously documented in reincarnation materials, is that little kids might have better recall of past lives.

Also, little kids can say some of the funniest things! I was tossing up putting this topic in the Tickle Me section.

Some funny stuff:

- What does R.S.P.C.A stand for? Royal Society for the Prevention of Careless Animals.

Listening to some neighbourhood kids conducting a play wedding ceremony and the one playing the priest says, 'Do you take this man to be your awfully wetted husband?'

One that had me wondering about past life relationships: A relative's toddler is just learning to talk and is at the stage of learning names by copying her mum. The other day the mother was pointing to different people in the room and naming them and the toddler was copying. The mother pointed to me and said my family nickname, but the toddler kept saying 'dadda' with the biggest smile on her face even when corrected. Apart from me being female, my family nickname doesn't sound like dadda at all!

Anyways, I thought it would be fun and interesting to share some of the things we've heard little kids say.

Well, this isn't really funny, but when my first born was three years old, we were outside climbing what she considered and everyone called "the big rock"!!! She finally made it to the top and I followed. We sat there just looking out at the beautiful sunset in complete silence. Then, out of the blue, she said to me (still gazing forward at the sky) "Did I used to be your boyfriend?" And, I simply responded to her that yes, I guess you did. And that was it!!!

To this day, 45 years later, we have this strong and caring bond for each other. I rarely speak of this, but my memory is still crystal clear of the time and place this happened. Also, I have never mentioned this to her as I am sure she would feel very uncomfortable hearing this. And, I'm just happy that I could actually share this memory, as it does have a very special place in my heart.
