Where did all the innocence go?

[luckiest_heart]

I just got home from babysitting...got greeted by a very drunk mother 2 and a half hours after she said she'd be home. Don't worry, I don't have anything to do! Or anyone to talk to! I don't need to be home, take your time. (insert sarcasm)

that was so beautful...
it may sound cliche but ahhh the innocence of a child....

it's so true dude.
they know nothing negative in the world.
makes me sad that one day those eyes will be opened.

[misty_rains]

maybe our eyes don't become opened by life, maybe they just get bruised shut. i wish i could have seen that though.

You have an amazing mind, Krista. That was an awesome story. Don't we all miss those days?I wish I was still a little kid. I think that innocence is still inside of you.

thank you baby girl! i hope i still have some of the innocence left in me. i know im not judgemental but it's almost as if little kids don't even see that someone is a different race. or they don't see that someone has a disability. i hope i can remember this story and think about being a kid every time i feel like judging someone. <3

Yeah, and kids are the most brutally honest too... It's interesting how honesty and unjudging eyes can beget such happiness...
