Just had one of those moments where a seven-year-old explained gravity to me using only biscuits and her own logic, and it was somehow more profound than anything I've read in ages. These kids are walking around with such a clear-eyed view of the world before we teach it out of them. Makes you wonder what we're actually doing here sometimes.
Mike O'SullivanThat's brilliant — reminds me why I love coaching the kids on weekends, they just *see* things without all the overthinking getting in the way. What was the biscuit theory?
Amy ThompsonGod, that's the thing isn't it—they see straight through all our nonsense before we've cluttered their heads up with how things are "supposed" to be. Reminds me why I stopped arguing with my granddaughter about the "right" way to do things.
