A Conversation

The other day, while visiting my nephew, both of us indulged in some fun with 'play clay' by moulding it into different shapes and sizes. At first, I tried my hand at it but soon gave up, and besides, I was enjoying it more, watching my nephew's adept hands turn that soft,pliable clay into an elephant, then a green coloured snake, a blue umbrella

Re: A good lesson!

I feel that more than the kids, even adults should learn to explore, to ask 'stupid questions' instead of just inflating their egos by thinking that they are 'know-alls'. I agree with you when you say that it takes a lot of courage to do that,but then again, life is itself an eternal work-in-progress that is always about new beginnings. :)

I think it's important for kids to know that adults DON'T know everything. It's also important for them to understand that we CAN make mistakes.
Let your nephew know that learning NEVER stops no matter how old we are. Life would be so boring if we knew it all. I hope that I learn something new every day!

I completely agree! I also hope to learn something new every day, whether good or bad. ;) :D

Totally agree: life was simpler then in many ways *sigh*
You captured the feelings well...if only we would put our hands up and say 'I don't know' instead of puting on airs, we could learn a lot from kids:)

True, that. :)

I think growing up is a funny myth. Then again, I don't know! :D

LOL! Growing-up was fun when I was a child, now as an adult,it can be a big bore at times! ;) :D

Psst.. and if kids these days, think that adults are funny people I really don't blame them, after all, all adults do is reminisce about childhood or worry about getting old! lol!
